These 7 habits are so easy to incorporate into your current lifestyle that you can start today. Do you also go fit and healthy for a lifetime? Then read on quickly.
Being fit and healthy does not mean you have to train hours a day and only eat salads and steamed vegetables. No, fortunately there are much more efficient (and less painful) habits that you can start with today. Not only will they help you in the short term to come in shape, but you will benefit from it for the rest of your life.
1.. Stop inventing excuses
You know quite well; you should really move a bit more, but you are too busy to go to the gym. It takes too much time to bring a healthy lunch to work and then also put a healthy evening meal on the table? You want to do sports at home, but you do not know how. All of these excuses are somewhat true and yes, we have all been on this point. But if you really want to live healthier (and want to stay healthy), you will have to learn to give these excuses. Do you want to become fitter and live healthier? Then you start today.
2. Walk more
Even if you are fanatical for a few days a week, it is important that you stay active in your daily life simply by walking more. Try when and where you can not choose for convenience, just walk. Walk to the supermarket or to the center or in the evening after dinner eat a block. Try to take at least 10,000 steps per day. You can easily check this for yourself with a pedometer.
3. Do not cling to rules
Although it may sound contradictory, because the achievement of a goal often goes hand in hand with schedules and strict rules. But we all know that it is not feasible to be perfect, let alone pursue that forever. This also applies to following a diet or a sports schedule. By forbidding yourself that which you desire the most, the craving increases and when sports become a 'must', the fun is quickly gone. Try the 80/20 percent rule instead. Eat 80% of the time healthy and allow yourself to occasionally enjoy something less healthy. Make sure you choose something that you really like.
4 .Choose an active trip
Instead of always going to the cinema, or long-serving, you can also opt for a more active outing. For example, step on a bike with a friend and plan a nice route in advance, or sign up for LeontienLadiesRide. You can go with the family to a nature reserve, a zoo or for the real sports enthusiasts to the golf course or choose in the summer for a water sports course. The list of activities is endless, so there is certainly something that fits your expectations. You are not only moving in this way, you will also enjoy it more.
5. Make your workout shorter
Yes, you read that right. If you are planning an hour of work, it is logical that there is not always time for it, let alone go to the gym. It is better to shorten your workout, but more efficiently. You can train your whole body in 20 to 30 minutes and you can work up a sweat to regain your daily routine with a feeling of satisfaction. You no longer have an excuse for not exercising.
6. Make your sleep a priority
Many of us underestimate the importance of a good night's rest, but it is even crusial for good health to give your body the necessary rest every night. Too little sleep can even lead to weight gain. Try to sleep 7-8 hours every night.
7. Enjoy vegetables in your own way
Not everyone loves vegetables, but these vitamin bombs contain essential nutrients that keep us healthy and fit. If you do not like vegetables, look for a way you like it. You can vary endlessly in the preparation. Try grilling or stir-frying. Or make an oven dish by slicing different types of vegetables into equal pieces, sprinkle with olive oil, pepper and salt and exactly to taste. Try to make a vegetable smoothie with a mix of vegetables and fruit.
