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!

  1. Every fat loss program needs to have an exercise component. It doesn't even have to an actual exercise like jogging or swimming. If you have never exercised before in your life, you can even start something as simple as brisk walking every day for 20 minutes and work up the intensity from there.

  2. Yes, these tips are really useful... by following them we will stay healthy and fit most likely. But we should also eat healthy, to follow a proper diet. Personally, I'm also taking some martial arts classes in Toronto by Bamboo School and I absolutely love it... it's a fun and interesting way of staying fit.
