Are you troubled by your weight and fitness, but think that you don’t have time to tone up and get fit? In truth, the simple things that you need to do to boost your wellness and general wellbeing only take a few minutes each day. It is possible to get into shape quickly, if you know how to go about it.
The most important thing is to have an effective exercise routine. There is no point in slogging it out at the gym all day if you are not doing the right exercises. The best way to make sure that your workout is effective is to ensure that it is as varied as possible. If you normally do cardio, add a bit of strength training. If you prefer yoga, add a few squats and lunges into your day, or a bit of cardio.
Secondly, to get to and then maintain a healthy weight, you need to be mindful of the calories that you eat. Make sure that you are aware of how many calories are in certain things. Do you really need a glass or orange juice (100 calories per small glass) or would a glass of water (zero calories) be just as refreshing? Look at ingesting calories that really boost your body and foods that are packed with natural nutrients, too.
One of the best ways to ensure that you stick to your diet and exercise regime is to plan ahead, too. Think about your schedule over the next few weeks and work out when it is going to be toughest to eat healthily or to get those training sessions in. Meal planning for the week ahead can also be a very sensible move, as it avoids the ‘what’s for dinner?’ scenario where hunger and tiredness can drive you into making poor decisions.
