Quick Tips to Getting Fit and Staying Fit
1. Work out regularly. Aim to train 2 - 5 times a week. Each session should last between 20 minutes to 1 hour. Remember it is the quality (not the quantity) of the time you spend training that leads to progression. Push yourself harder on days when you feel you have more strength, and go easier when you feel less energetic.
2. Do a mixture of exercises. Make sure that your training regime covers all the necessary elements. Your weekly exercise program should include elements of cardiovascular (aerobics, running, brisk walking, stepping, skipping rope, rowing), resistance training (weights or own body exercises such as press ups) and, finally, flexibility (stretching). You should always warm up and cool down before each session.
3. Take up a new class. Commit to trying a new exercise discipline within the next month. I call this the 'Heineken Principle', because different forms of training hit different places! Why not try an aerobics class or even a type of boot camp class?
4. Become independent. It's really important to learn to exercise without equipment. How many times have you heard about people going off on a sun soaked holiday, only to return feeling unfit and sluggish because there was no gym there? If you learn to use your own body by doing squats, lunges, press ups, a variety of sit-ups and stretches, you can work out wherever you are in the world. Then there is no excuse for not looking after yourself!
5. Eat a balanced diet. You'll never be properly fit if you don't put the right fuel into your body. If you simply exercise more, to make up for sloppy eating habits, you will actually push your ultimate goal further away and run the risk of over training. Food is not your enemy. Eating and appetite are basic instincts. You'll become stronger and fitter more quickly, if you eat little amounts of nutritious foods at short intervals.
6. Get help. Working with a personal trainer in the gym can make the difference between getting almost fit and achieving true fitness. By fine tuning your form and technique, your exercises will take on a new meaning.
7. Create a healthy environment. Whether you spend most of your time at home or at work, don't let yourself be surrounded by temptations that could throw your healthy regime off course. Clean out your fridge and cupboards and get rid of easy-to-eat junk foods that are filled with empty calories. Instead, make sure you have plenty of healthy snacks around you to keep you on the right track.
8. Surround yourself with like-minded people. The more you hang out with individuals who are on the same path as you, the less chance you have of straying. Friends and partners who follow healthy lifestyles are more likely to encourage and support each other to achieve their fitness goals.
9. Keep moving. Try to walk more, instead of using the car or bus. Also take every opportunity to be involved in fun and games, be it with the dog, your children, or your partner.
10. Remember, fitness is 4Life! Working out and eating correctly are not short term projects. They are things that should be as natural to us as brushing our teeth. Make fitness a permanent part of your life by following these tips, and you'll lead a better and more fulfilling life.
