5 Fitness Tips
Get fit and keeping fit need not be an all day affair. If you can only squeeze in 5 minutes here and there for exercise it can go a long way. Although it’s best to try and exercise at least 30 minutes per day, it’s not always practical.
Here are 5 fitness tips which are fast, easy and can easily be incorporated into your day.
1. Learn to stretch.
Stretching only takes a few minutes. You can stretch before arising out of bed, while showering, combing your hair and even while brushing your teeth. Try to fit in at least 10 minutes of stretching a day.
2. Weight Train.
Even if you don’t have weights you can weight train. You can hold small cans of vegetables in your hands and use them as though they were weights.
Resistance bands are perfect. They are light, easy to pack and travel with and easily fit in a drawer. Purchase several with different resistance levels so that you can work up without over doining it in the beginning.
3. Keep Hydrated.
Although you have probably heard this 1,000 times -drink water. At least 8 glasses per day. It will not only help you avoid soreness when you exercise (it flushes away lactic acid) but it flushed toxins & FAT from your body. If you are dehydrated your metabolism will actually slow down to a crawl–so drink up!
4. Eat Plenty of Vegetables.
When we were younger our parents always told us to eat our veggies-well Mom was right. Vegetables are low in calories, high in water content (think hydration) and high in fiber. Fiber will keep you feeling full longer.
5. Exercise your Core Muscle group.
Your core is your mid-section. Call it abs, stomach or belly, but no matter what you call it-work it out. Stronger abs help you stand up straight (you look thinner), help your back stay aligned (less back pain), is the main focus of your body (you’ll look healthier) and you will reduce ab fat. Ab fat is the least healthy type of fat you can have. By reducing your ab fat, you will be healthier and will have a flatter stomach. Pilates and Yoga are perfect for flattening the stomach area including the lower stomach and love handles.
