FITNESS HACKS TO TRY
TURN YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE INTO A WORKOUT
If you think that cleaning, cooking, washing clothes, or doing other household chores fulfil your daily need for physical activity, then you are highly mistaken. Our body works just like a machine. Hence moving each and every part of the body is very important. If you don't find time and motivation to go out and indulge yourself in any kind of physical activity, then you need to put an extra effort and try to convert your daily chores in some workout.
For example, you can put on wrist weights while using hot tools like an iron or a blow dryer. This way, you will end up with a workout for your arms that will last for at least 15-20 minutes. Lifting a dryer and combing your hairs with wrist weights attached to your arms would challenge your muscles and make them stronger. Once, your arm gets used to this workout session. You can challenge them more by leaving the weights on while doing makeup, preparing breakfast, etc.
START YOUR DAY THE RIGHT WAY
How you start your day plays a vital role in keeping you fit and healthy. Try having something healthy that would not only keep your organs going but would also motivate you to continue taking a healthy diet all day long. Well, coffee is definitely not the answer. What I am talking about is a simple drink that has lots of health benefits when taken an empty stomach. Take a glass of lukewarm water and add fresh lemon juice to it. That's it. Simple right.
This would not only boost your digestion but would also help the body in fighting against infections and bacteria by boosting the immune system. Lemon juice is known to have detoxification and anti-fungal properties. Try making this a part of your daily regime, and you will feel the difference, yourself.
IF YOU’RE A BREAKFAST PERSON - EAT IT WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF WAKING
Eating healthy and nutritious breakfast would provide you the energy that would keep you active all day long. Studies have shown that eating breakfast within half an hour of waking up keeps the insulin levels in check and boost the body's metabolism by 20-30 percent.
Many people don't feel hungry in the early hours of the morning. If that is the case, you can spend some while getting ready for your work or doing some 15-20 minutes of physical exercise like a walk, yoga, etc.
Eating breakfast early, re-hydrate, and re-energize the body. In the long run, this routine would also help you in weight loss. If your health goal is to lose weight, than to get better and faster results, you can take phentermine. You can get the prescription online also, just look for doctor who prescribes phentermine on the internet.
TAKE YOUR WORKOUT OUTSIDE
If going to the gym is not your cup of tea, it's ok. There are several other ways to carry out physical activities. Try outside workout sessions. Exercising in fresh air under morning sunlight would rejuvenate your mind and body. You can go for a walk or run. If you prefer doing a workout in someone's company, then you can ask your friend or a family member to be your workout partner. Another option is to join some outdoor physical activity classes like yoga sessions, etc. There are various training centres that not only provide professional workout sessions in the safe and open areas but would also give personalized sessions depending on your body needs.
BRING THE DOG!
If you have a dog at your house, then take it with you for a run or a walk. Your dog will act as a new reason for those extra workout sessions.
MAKE YOUR PLAYLIST AS LONG AS THE WORKOUT
Listening to music while running on the treadmill or jogging relaxes your mind and helps you to focus on your exercise regime. If you want to free yourself from looking at your watch every minute to check the time left for the current workout session, then create a playlist as per the duration of your workout session. This way, your playlist would act as an alarm when it stops, it means its either the time to move to other equipment or the time has come to an end the session.
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
Water is our lifeline. Drinking at least eight glasses of water is very important to stay healthy and fit. Many of us claim that we keep having water throughout the day. But, is the quantity sufficient? Well, the simple solution is to keep a bottle with you and drink water from that. This way, you can keep track of the water taken by you. Another way is to download an app. Yes. Numerous mobile-friendly app available on the internet that would keep you updated about the glasses of water taken by you and would even send you a notification or a reminder to have a glass of water.
