7 Easy Tips For Keeping Fit



There are many ways in which you can do to keep fit. If you’re a newbie to exercise then this article is for you. Keeping fit simply means exercising 20 or 30 minutes on a daily basis, you can take a break every now and then but no more than two days. However, once you get use to exercising every day it will become a daily routine.

I always try to sneak in a few extra movements to keep fit during the day. After all, your muscles can’t tell whether you’re in a fancy gym or in your living room trying to keep fit as long as they’re being worked they’ll stay toned!

Keeping fit requires that you do some form of daily exercises or whenever you have the time in your living room, in the gym, while you comb your hair, or even while you're sitting around your computer. Just try keeping the oxygen flowing, expanding and toning your muscles. To keep fit means you have to keep your metabolism at high speed all through the day. I heard that you can burn up to 500 calories each day just by fidgeting?

Yes! It’s true! I call it tiny movements (fidget-cizes). However, it only takes one minute or even less and I realized that they really do work! Fidget-cizes can’t be replaced for your regular exercises, but to keep fit on a hectic lifestyle, you may have to use them in a way of squeezing in a few extra movements along the day. I have listed a few keep fit fidgets exercises below why don’t you give them a try!

Butt Squeezing: You can do this while standing in the elevator, going down the steps in your favorite store, or when you're waiting for the train to come. No one will notice and by the way it's very effective too!

Working the legs: Try doing some leg lifting while you watching your favorite TV programs or you can do squats while you comb your hair before bed.

Do some extra steps: Sneak in some extra walking exercising whenever or where ever you can. You can do this by parking your car few blocks away from the store instead of in the parking lot. Use the stairs instead of the elevator at your work place, or walk around the mall a couple of times before going into the store because every step counts!

Tummy squeezing: When you're relaxing and reading a book, take in a deep breath and hold in your tummy for a moment then release it through your mouth. You can try lying on the floor, on the carpet or on a blanket and do some crunches. You don’t have to do a hundred just a few will count.

Couchpushups: By sitting at the edge of the couch, placing your hands down on either side of you. With your knees bent keeping your feet together, lift your body off the couch, bend your elbows behind you, and then lower your body toward the floor. You can practice this while you’re watching TV or listening to the radio. You’ll be surprise to see how many calories you burn off within a week!

Stretching it out: You don’t need to do vigorous exercises to keep fit stretching your limbs seams to heal the tension that can build up around the neck and shoulder areas.  And it also helps those tense muscles to relax while it counteracts any tightness of your poor posture and/or your tired muscles to keep fit. Turn your neck anti-clock wise slowly to the left then slowly to the right do this every two to three hours.

Keep fit while you clean: It is a fact that you can also burn over 400 calories a day by doing your house hold chores. Just by carrying laundry from one place to another, vacuuming, even making your bed, or dusting. These are some of the little things that we do every day without realizing that we are actually exercising and didn’t  know that it’s a form of exercising. Besides it’s not a matter of finding time to do these tasks because it’s something we all do anyway, so you might as well listen to some music while working and consider it as exercising!
This will be a great exercise routine to practice every day while doing your house chores. As long as you stay active you’ll keep fit!

When it comes to losing weight it involves two parts and that is maintaining a proper diet and exercising. Not because you are exercising more to lose weight that doesn’t mean that you can eat whatever you want.

If you want to keep your body healthy, inside and out, well cardio is one of the most important exercises to do.

Eating less doesn’t mean it will lead to hunger and deprivation! For many reasons most people often fail in reach their weight loss goals not because of eating too much but because of not eat enough! If you get hungry too quickly after having a meal then you are doing something very wrong. But if you crave for your favorite foods, well that’s very normal. I will tell you how to handle cravings later.

The easiest and fastest way to lose weight is by eating your calories instead of drinking them. This is a simple tip that will help you to lose 5 pounds a month or even more without making any changes to your nutrition diet. Although, you will gain weight if you eat too much calories your body really need it to function because calories give you energy.

The Best Way To Control Your Weight


Maintaining a healthy diet and keeping the weight off forever is not that easy as it sounds but it can be done. By staying away from all the foods that will only make you gain weight is very important…Here is a list of foods to avoid when trying to maintain your weight loss goal.
 

Avoid Drinking Alcohol                                              
Controlling you weight is important although, drinking alcohol beverages can contribute to weight gaining, but it doesn’t cause you to gain weight when you use it to cook. It gives off a very nice aroma when it infused with the sauce and not to mention wines tenderizing capabilities and the way it enhances the tastes make the food even more delicious. Cooking with wine can really add the most profound flavor to an otherwise ho-hum dish.

Hydrolyzed What??
 

Remember, controlling your weight only depends on what you eat and drink. Have you ever sat down and read all the ingredients labels of the foods that you bought at the store? Besides all the unpronounceable, you can pretty much count on processes foods being riddled with unwanted salt and fat. Whenever possible, stick to fresh, natural foods, but when you can’t put you “label detective” hat on and find the best options to keep your metabolism firing away if you want to control .
 

  • However, the key to success to weight loss is eating the right combination of foods at the right times and in the right amounts. 
  •  
  • Part of this procedure will involve measuring your potion.
     
  • Proteins are to be weighed on a scale or measured using the palm of your hand.
     
  • Slow Carbs and Fast Carbs are generally measured in cups.
     
  • Meats shrink with cooking and Grains expand, so you’ll want to measure both after they’re prepared.
     
  • Fruits tend to collapse with cooking and their natural sugars condense, so you’ll have to measure those foods before using them in a recipe.
     
In some cases you can control your weight if your finished product contains both protein and carbohydrates such as soups or stews, I suggest using the following method in order to determining your portion size. Using a slotted spoon to drain any gravy or juices, measure out the weigh the equivalent of your protein serving and place that food in your serving bowl.
 

Using the same spoon, measure out your carbohydrate serving in a measuring cup and add that portion to your serving bowl. Add back in however much sauce you prefer and you’re ready to tuck into your freshly made fat loss plate. Now you are ready to choose your recipe and start shedding those extra pounds and to take control of your weight forever.

5 Tips How To Get Rid Of Stubborn Belly Fat




The stubborn belly fat that wraps itself around our organs deep inside the belly should be a cause for concern. This type of belly fat is associated with an increased risk of any of these conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure and it could even increase glucose in the blood.

Research has shown that “Blasted Belly Fat” are very hard to get rid of there are several ways in which to reduce this type of fat, which includes exercising. You can’t go around not doing exercising because it’s the main ingredient for turning the fat into muscles. Some new development was shown from Duke University Medical Center indicates that aerobic exercise is better way for getting rid of belly fat or visceral fat than confrontation exercise.

However, aerobic exercising includes repeating and continuously using the same large muscle groups to increase our bodies stipulate for oxygen, that makes the heart and lungs work even harder. For instance walking, bicycling, swimming, or jogging. Therefore, confrontation exercise involves the use of the muscles to move weight or resist a load, especially in weight lifting exercises that use resistance bands.

Research has proven that 196 overweight people, especially deskbound adults around the ages of 19 to 70 between the courses of eight months. These participants were randomly given either an aerobic training group, or a resistance training group, and a group combining with both exercises. Participants doing the aerobic training performed exercises similar to jogging at least 12 miles per week at about 80% of their maximum heart rates and the ones doing resistance training performed three sets of 9 to 13 repeats of resistance exercises (the same as weight lifting) three times weekly.
 
Pure aerobic exercise was proven to be the best and most effective for reducing the levels of dangerous visceral fat, and also for burning calories with the result of (67% more calories when you compare the two training), and it also helped to reduce liver fat. In fact, aerobic exercise was shown to be the most effective when it comes to improving fast insulin resistance and it also reduced fast triglyceride levels and liver enzymes, which are all risk factors of heart disease and diabetes too.
The whole key to getting rid of belly fat is by doing aerobic exercising and changing your eating habits to a healthy weight loss diet plan which involves eating a lot of fruits and vegetables with every meal such as breakfast, lunch, dinner and in between snacks. Most importantly, you have to make exercising and eating right become a daily routine otherwise it won’t work.
Personally, I think that belly fat is the most difficult thing to get rid of and all you need to do is just keep at it and don’t give up. The problem I find with most people including myself we start a diet and doing aerobic exercising with the whole purpose of getting rid of stubborn belly fat and don’t stick to it long enough to see the results.
