Hey Fitbuddies,
Let’s get right into this batch of tips to help you on your road to optimal wellness. Take Care and Be Well.
Fit Tip: Have kids? - Look at their pictures to remind you that you want to be around to share life with them, with plenty of energy. You don't want you're 10-year old to be throwing you around the house, do you?
Fit Tip: Get connected - Check out the e-mail, chat, or discussion groups on the Internet that deal with fitness, weight loss, diet, exercise, etc.
Fit Tip: See exercise as a stress-releaser - A simple shift in attitude can do wonders for your stress levels. If you've had a long, hard day at work, exercise is something to LOOK FORWARD TO relieve your stress and revive yourself.
Fit Tip: Keep a journal of how you feel after exercise. - Especially the great workouts. On the days you just don't feel like exercising, look back on the good workout days for some inspiration.
Fit Tip: Step Off. Quit weighing yourself 2-3 times a day. Once a week, same day and same time will do. To often the numbers on the scale set the tone of our day. Keep in mind that most scales read in pounds and that ¼ - ½ pound you lost won’t show. Also the muscle you are gaining might register as weight gain.
Fit Tip: Think of the colors of the rainbow when shopping for vegetables. ROYGBIV. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. The more colorful the vegetable the antioxidants and vitamins it has.
Fit Tip: Not sure how much water to drink? Here’s a quick way to figure the amount that’s right for you. Divide your bodyweight in half. That’s the number of ounces you should have. Then divide that number by 8 for the amount of cups that number equals. And you didn’t think the math classes would come in handy did you?
