6 Tips on how to stay healthy

These are some of my general tips on how to stay fit and healthy!

Finding the time
Try to exercise at least 60 minutes per day however if you are trying to tone up or lose weight conditioning/shorter yet harder routines will be more effective as you'll be pushing your body harder. Try to make a schedule as then you won't lose track of when you should be working out!

Clothes
If you have a nice set of workout clothes you are more likely to want to workout rather than thinking of it as a chore. Plan your outfit the night before so that the next day you can just throw your clothes on this will make you more motivated as you won't have the stress in the morning. You will see them before you go to sleep this should make you motivated and want to wake up in the morning.

Working out with a friend
Staying fit with a friend will keep you motivated and if you set dates in which you are going to meet and workout you are not going to cancel unless you have to.

Your routine
Change your exercise routine very often because as soon as your body starts getting used to it you aren't as challenged so you won't burn as many calories.

Making your heart rate rise for short bursts of time has been proven to be more effective than keeping it at the same rate for long periods.

Food and drink
Cooking your own food will be better than ordering takeaways because you know exactly what you're eating. Making a weekly meal plan will keep you organised and you can make sure that you have all the ingredients. Pay attention to nutrition labels to help you make healthier choices.

Staying hydrated is crucial for becoming and staying fit. Water is so much better for you than fizzy drinks that have more calories in than you can imagine!

Sleep
Work out a sleep pattern that works for you so you are not tired in the morning as having 10 hours of sleep might make you feel over-tired. If you have a goods night sleep the chances are in the morning you'll feel more productive.
