FITNESS TIPS
Added on: 6th Jan 2016
BUY THE RIGHT TRAINERS NOT THE
COOLEST-LOOKING ONES
Wearing the right trainers can make the difference between an
enjoyable workout and a painful one. When you’re trainer shopping
keep in mind that different types of trainers are designed for particular
activities and that the type of trainer you get is going to depend on a
lot of things including how much cushion you want, how your
feet pronate, and how much stability you need.
WHEN YOU GO OUT TO HAVE FUN, DANCE
Next time you go to the club, be sure to DANCE, you can burn over 200
Calories (depending on how much you weigh) in 30 minutes
of fast dancing.
STOP USING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
FOR SHORT DISTANCES
Instead walk. The more YOU move, the healthier you’ll be.
WASH YOUR CAR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK
Here’s an incentive to keep your ride spotless. It’s estimated that
washing your car can burn about 250 calories in an hour.
Waxing your car can burn even more, about 350!
CLEAN THE HOUSE MORE OFTEN
Similar to washing your car, cleaning your home can help you burn
calories as well. Mopping for an hour can burn anywhere around
150 calories; Scrubbing the tub for about 15 minutes, 90 calories,
Vacuuming for 30 minutes, 110 calories. Not only do you get a
clean home but you also get a clean bill of health.
JOIN A GYM (IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT)
This should be somewhat obvious but you need a place to work
out right? However what most people don’t realize is the accountability
factor. You are more likely to use that which you pay for, which means
a little more incentive to come to the gym.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Tracking your progress in a fitness journal will help a lot.
Taking photos of your body every month if possible and seeing
where you started and how far you’ve come will definitely motivate
you on lazy days when you need the encouragement the most.
DON’T COUNT THE MINUTES/HOURS YOU WORK OUT
When we went to school many of us had the bad habit of counting the
minutes until the lesson was over. Some of us still have this habit
while working out. By focusing on the clock we don’t focus on our
workout. So the next time you go to the gym or do any athletic
activity, ignore the clock and focus on your workout.
STAY HYDRATED NO MATTER WHAT
The more hydrated you are, the less tired you’ll feel.
Drinking water throughout your workout as well as before and
after will help gain better results faster and most important,
will keep you healthy during the process.
