Staying fit is by far one of the smartest things to do, even if it is sometimes hard. It comes with tons of benefits, like having a healthier body, looking better, being happier, feeling stronger, among many other.
Getting started, may be the hardest part of it, but once you have finally set yourself on track to a better body, the rest is a piece of cake.
Here I will give you some great ways to stay fit, and lose weight in the way to a better life.
1. Motivation is everything.
This might be the hardest part for some. But let me ask you, Have you ever wished having that magazine body? Who hasn't, right?
It is time now for you to start training hard to achieve your desired results. Go paste a picture of that body you want to have on the mirror of your bathroom, or somewhere you will see every morning. Or the picture of that person you want to charm by looking better. Go write a good reason for yourself to stay fit, and feel guilty whenever you are not completing your goals.
Once you feel this rush inside of you, more than half of the work is done. And if you feel you are losing it, then go and grab your reasons and put them in front of you for an hour.
A great way I have used to motivate myself, is to take a BEFORE picture, and watch my body change after a month of hard work. If you ever start losing motivation, go watch your old body and see how things have worked out for you!
2. Change Your Diet!
Enough with the dirt food. That garbage is only giving you tons and tons of calories and carbs that are stored in your belly every day that goes by. Change your habit and instead try something healthy everyday and enjoy how it will help you stay fit and healthier. Convince yourself, since this is one of the most important parts of losing weight.
You might also want to lower the amount of food you eat, but eat 5 or 6 times a day. This will speed up your metabolism, and will cause you to burn fat even when you are not doing anything.
3. Cardio.
People who desire to lose fat and go for weight training, are in a big mistake. Of course, weight lifting speeds up your metabolism, but its not just enough! Mid-High intensity cardio, will work charms for you!
And what's best, this is the most enjoyable part of it all. You can try any sport or activity you wish, like running, swimming, bicycle riding, playing basketball, or any other thing that comes to your mind.
The thing here is: Always eat something within 30 minutes after exercise, like a fruit or a sandwich, so your muscles can recover from it, and the fat will be burnt.
The secret here is to combine this with a good diet.
4. Rest.
Resting properly is another HUGE part of losing weight. If you do not rest enough, your body will not work properly, and you might not be losing any fat at all.
Sleep enough time every night, Rest enough days your muscles if you lift weight, and do not push yourself too hard during cardio. Just give your body enough time to recover from activity!
5. Be Patient.
It takes a day to start feeling better. It takes 2 days to start feeling happier and more positive. it takes a week to start feeling an improvement in your strength and lungs. it takes 2 weeks to watch your endurance grow amazingly, and it takes a month to start seeing results in your clothes.
The nice thing about losing weight this way, is that you will also notice your body will start getting firm and skinnier, and also strong and will get you great definition.
Just be a little patient. After all, one month is not a lot of time, and if you keep on for 2 or 3, you will not only have a habit already, but you will see GREAT results in your body
