When you are going about your day, and all the sudden you see an elevator or the stairs, which one do you choose? Start taking the stairs when you are in a position to do so. Stair climbing is a very active exercise, and making this decision routinely can make all the difference.
If you are taking a short trip somewhere so that the car is not really required, why not walk or ride your bike? This is a great way to get a little extra exercise while doing something you had to do anyway.
Park further away from businesses that you're visiting. Think about how many opportunities like this are presented to you each day! You could really make a difference in the amount of steps you walk each day. Wear a pedometer so you can get motivated about the changes!
You need to make sure you're getting adequate sleep every day so that your body has time to relax and then build up again. A tired body isn't going to be effective going through the day. You can't expect to better your fitness if you're railroading yourself from the starting block.
Did you know that eating healthier actually gives you more energy? It is literally amazing! Instead of taking that afternoon nap because of a meal loaded with fat and carbohydrates, why not go for an afternoon walk in the park? This leads to another change you can make. Be sure that you're thinking about what you do for recreation. As mentioned already, why not take a walk in the park? Think of fun things to do in your spare time that will provide you with a move towards fitness.
Stay away from those sugary drinks! Instead, focus on drinking healthier beverages, such as water and natural fruit juices. Think about the difference this can make each time you get something to drink. Plus this keeps you fit because it keeps you hydrated!
Focus on fun physical activities that you like to do or that you can do as a family. Pay some attention to your garden, or perhaps go for a family swim! Board games and family movie nights are fun, but make sure there is physical activity from time to time.
If you can focus on those daily changes you can make that have been described here, then you will start to see how your fitness is really a lifestyle change. Start working towards your fitness goals today!
