Common Things Fit People Do. Steps And Habits to Build Your Fitness Discipline.
If you want your spouse or your girlfriend / boyfriend to get in better shape than they are no, you have to start exercise yourself first. This sounds crazy and not real but it’s true. It is very unique and strange phenomenon. According to a study published in Health Services Research, when a married person decides to get fit, the spouse is likely to as well. . One of the best ways to stay motivated when making a change is to model the behavior of someone who has the attributes that you desire. If you are single at the moment and don’t have an “iron man” to follow, read these tips bellow, 7 common things that Fit People do:
Stay active no matter what.
On days when it seams that 24 hours of the day isn’t enough, or you feel overwhelmed don’t skip your workout with excuses. A short exercise will not only do you good, but also will keep your mind fresh and gives you better prospective on things. Find ways to stay active even if you cannot squeeze in a full workout. Walk around the block, take the stairs, and get down and pop off 20 pushups first thing in the morning. You can get a great home workout in 20 min.
Eat a set portion, not until you feel stuffed.
Learn about portion control. You don’t have to eat everything on your plate. Take food home from the restaurant, or set aside dinner leftovers for lunch the next day. Most restaurants will serve big portions, actually bigger than you should eat in one sitting. If the plate you’ve ordered looks too big, set a portion that is enough for you before you start to eat. Note: Appetite grows while eating!
Set realistic goals.
I often see article headlines like “lose 20 lb in 30 days” or “weight loss tips to get in to prom dress”. Unless these tips are for professional MMA fighter or competitive boxing getting ready for competition to fit in to eight category, they are useless and stupid. Just think about it. That happens after 30 days or after prom night?
Set realistic goals for yourself that you can achieve, like thinner thighs or just one pizza dinner per month.
No junk food allowed in the house
Keeping junk food around the house can tempt you to dig in late at night or between meals. If you have to go out to get the junk food that you are craving, you will be less motivated to give in to your snack attack. It happens to me personally, I go all day eating vegetables, protein shakes and lean meat and at the end of the day I start to crave carbs and go thru all kitchen cabinets hoping to find, long time forgotten, a piece of chocolate, or some salty chips, but usually it is not the case and I have to settle for apple or banana.
Indulge every once I a while
If you cut all the foods that give you pleasure, you are increasing your chance to fall back. Sticking to a strict food plan all the time can be difficult during family holidays and nights out on the town. Don’t emotionally beat yourself up if you grab a cocktail or have a few bites of birthday cake. Indulging in small treats occasionally can prevent yo-yo dieting and inflexible thinking.
Workout Routine part of your schedule
In today busy lives and hectic schedules, people forget to exercise. An think about it once or twice a week when they see a jogger on the sidewalk from their car at the stop light -“hmm… I need to do that do… maybe next week, I am to busy this week”. Fit people make exercise a part of their busy week.
You have to have a plan. Some prefer to workout 4 days per week before going to work, and some go out for a run during lunchtime. Even though workout routines are individual, the common thread that all fit people share is that they carve out time regularly to workout. It has to be at least 3 workouts a week because twice a week will not get you there.
Don’t diet. Just eat better foods
Slowly all diet tricks are going away, because the more nutrition education people have, the better they understand that dieting is not the right way to lose weight. People know that to stay fit, they need to have enough fuel to get through workouts. Dieting can deplete your body of energy, and you are more susceptible to regaining weight after you complete your diet.
