Taking care of yourself

Starting a fit or a healthier lifestyle is a good way to take care of yourself. Try to be consistent and patient with your goals. Enjoy the small changes you notice in your body and learn to accept yourself without falling into frustration.

Adopt small goals

To start a life of fitness we recommend you adopt small goals that will help you progress steadily and continuously. That way, you avoid frustration. Body and health changes will come little by little. Remember that there are no miracle diets. Be patient and consistent.

Water is your best friend

Forget about soda or juices that ccontain lots of sugar. Water is the best tool for a fit life, so always try to have a little bottle of water with you.

Watch out with the food you buy

It can be a monotonous task, but we recommend that you pay close attention to the labels of the food you buy. Try to go to the supermarket with a full stomach so as not to succumb to the cravings. In addition, choose fresh and high-quality food as much as you can.

Avoid bad habits and embrace healthy ones

We tend to meet our friends mostly for dinners or drinks. If you want to change your lifestyle, it's nice to try some different activities. An afternoon of soccer, for example, or the beach, skating, volleyball, or another activity that keeps you off your chairs. Remember that to achieve a fit life you need to try to be active at all times.

Alternative places to exercise

If you have pets, take the opportunity to give them a good walk. The gym is not the only place to exercise.

Schedule your menu

The secret to a healthier and fitness life lies largely in your diet, so try to schedule your day's menu ahead of time. If you can, prepare your food the night before to avoid being in a hurry and breaking your diet.

Eat at least 3 to 6 meals a day

A serious mistake is to think that by eating less, we will lose more weight and better achieve our goal. Don't believe the myth! This type of diet can cause the famous rebound effect. You should look for a diet that feels good to your body, with 3 to 6 meals a day.

Enjoy your food without distractions

Another serious mistake that considerably affects your diet is eating in front of the TV or being distracted by your mobile phone or tablet. While you're distracted, you are not aware of the amount of food you are eating. For a healthier lifestyle, we invite you to try to enjoy your food in a quiet, undisturbed environment.

Cardio and weightlifting to lose some weight

Although a diet is important to a fit life, remember that your body also needs to burn calories and exercise. If you are looking to lose weight, don't limit your routine to cardio. You can also lift some weights at least twice a week. And if you're looking to build muscle, you may need to add some protein to your diet.

Excuses to avoid gym or diet only affect you

Let's face it, those little 'cheats' you commit when you escape from the gym or break your diet are just a self-deception. You're not hurting anyone but yourself. A fit life is about building and caring for your own body. Cheating will only end up hurting you.

The cornerstone of a healthy life is your diet

Although some supplements such as creatine or caffeine have proven to be effective, remember that the main basis of a healthy life is your basic, daily diet.

Go slowly

Whether you are coming back from years or just weeks of bad eating habits, you must try to go slowly with your diet. Do not expect to achieve all your goals in 1 or 2 months.

Rest is important

Never underestimate the power of rest, so try to give your body short breaths during the week so that it can recover from exercise. Also, you can help it by taking a supplement to recover faster after your workout.

Eat natural fats

Try to avoid the fried chicken from the fast food franchise around the corner. Natural fats for a fit life are olive oil, avocado, peanuts, nuts, etc. They will help you control your anxiety and appetite.

Be honest with yourself

To achieve a healthy or fitness life you must be honest with yourself. Admit what your bad habits or weaknesses are. For example, if you know that you are very impulsive, you should avoid skipping breakfast or other meals so that hunger does not steer you toward bad snack choices.

Learn how to cook healthy food

If you want to live a healthier life you must learn to cook. Lack of knowledge in food preparation can result in eating pre-cooked meals that we know don't suit your diet. So learn to master the art of steaming, grilling, and baking.

Everything adds up!

There really is no secret formula. It's all about consistency and discipline. That is, even if you only do 15 minutes of running or jogging, you should get some physical activity every day.

No more delays: the time is now

Yes, without any further delay, you can make yourself a simple little routine that you have to follow, in any case. It should be something that won't take up much of your time and that you will respect no matter what happens. Choose a schedule that fits in with your daily tasks and that you know for sure you can keep.

Control your stress level

Believe it or not, high levels of stress are related to weight gain. Therefore, in order to lead a healthier and fitter life, we recommend you reduce your stress level, especially at work.

7 to 8 hours of sleep

In addition to helping you recover your body after a good exercise session, a good rest of between 7 and 8 hours a day will help your body function better.

Surround yourself with fitness friends

Usually, there is at least one person in our social circle who is also looking to lead a fitness life. Try to find that person and start training together. It will be a way to motivate each other and avoid falling into temptations.

Consistency

Starting a fitness life is easy. The hard part is maintaining it. Be honest to yourself and critical when you notice that your visits to the gym start declining.

No smoking

As much as you'd like it, smoking and drinking do not go hand in hand with fitness. They are vices that bring nothing good to your lifestyle and cost money, too.
