TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP FIT

INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO CROSSFIT

CrossFit is an effective and evolutionary way to get fit. It’s been the

hottest thing in the fitness world for a few years now and the good

news is that anyone can do it. In case you never heard of it,

CrossFit is a fitness program that combines a wide variety of

functional movements in a timed or scored workout. It might be

intense but the results are impressive.

EAT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY

Many people still believe that skipping meals will help you lose weight.

It won’t. Instead of consuming two or three big meals, break these

up into five or six smaller meals. This will increase your

metabolism and help you digest easier.

BUT PICK YOUR MEALS WISELY

However, eating more meals each day doesn’t mean you can eat

whatever you want. Also what you eat before and after training

could make all the difference in your performance, as well as your

physique. Loading up with carbs a few hours before training will

give you an extra boost of energy, while eating a protein-rich meal

after will help you recover faster.

USE A KINECT

Instead of playing video games the traditional way-sitting on the

couch for hours and eating tons of junk food-buy a Kinect.

Whether you play tennis, box against heavyweight champion

Wladimir Klitschko, or fight legends such as Scorpion and

Sub-Zero in Mortal Combat, you’ll be getting a workout without

feeling like you’re actually doing so.

DRESS WELL WHEN YOU GO TO THE GYM

One of the reasons you’re working out is to look good, so why not

look good while doing it? After all, it will most likely motivate you

to work out harder in order to fit into your clothes better

in the near future.

PICK A SPORT YOU LIKE AND PRACTICE IT

If you find activities such as jogging or lifting boring and you’re the

type of person who likes action instead of a strict programs then

pick a sport you like and practice it at least three times a week.

You will most likely make new friends and improve your health

and physique in the process.

FIND A TRAINING BUDDY

Having a training buddy who shares the same passion and has

similar goals as you will keep you motivated and help you reach

your goal. They may even be a source of some fun

competition to give you that extra push.

MAKE YOUR HOME A FITTER PLACE

To help you flex your muscles more often, leave a set of dumbbells

near your microwave and do curls while heating up dinner.

Put a yoga mat next to the bed so you can do downward dogs

when you get up or at bedtime. Hang a resistance band on the

bathroom doorknob and strength-train while the tub fills up.

Or use a stability ball as a desk chair to engage your core

when paying bills.
