Break a sweat every day
Challenge yourself every day to participate in a physical activity that causes
you to get out of breath or sweat. To change your body, you must train outside
of your comfort zone. If you like your body the way it is, then don't stress
it. But if you want to build strength, get a six-pack or lose fat, then work
hard.
When exercising, you should not be able to carry on a conversation with your
buddy.
Go back to grade school
You did it all when you were younger: jumped rope, climbed trees, went bike
riding and ran sprints around the playground. You couldn't sit still long
enough to stay at a desk or computer like you do now.
Become more active. Go for a walk or jog in the morning before starting your
day. Join a group fitness class, recreational league, swim club, ski or bowling
team.
Use what you have
Look around and take a quick inventory of what's available to exercise with.
Do you have a bike, rope, old tires to flip, chains to pull, balls to throw,
boxes to jump on or paint cans to carry? If you have some of this stuff and a
creative mind, you can put together a great workout. You don't need a expensive
gym membership to look expensive. (Got a rope
Eat clean
By eating as clean as you can, you'll automatically avoid foods loaded with
sugar, trans fat, and saturated fat. Eat foods that display a variety of colors
more frequently, and keep everything in moderation. Plan time to go to the
grocery store so you are not rushed. Also, plan your weekly meals ahead of
time..)
Rest as hard as you work
There's a fine line between the amount of work you do and the rest that you
allow yourself. Rest can take the form of physical rest, or, for most of us,
mental rest. Exercising, deep breathing, and vacations will take care of your
mental rest. If you feel physically exhausted, try switching up your workout
routine or take a week off. You will come back fresh and ready to do more.
