Weight Loss - Fact IV



Getting fit doesn’t have to be difficult. There are a lot of complicated exercise programs and fad diets out there that only confuse you and actually make getting fit harder than it has to be. The following are some quick steps to starting and maintaining a simple fitness and health program.
1. Exercise
A Simple exercise program must follow some basic principles. It must provide a combination of cardiovascular, muscle endurance and flexibility exercises.  No need to use free weights or complicated machine, unless you enjoy those types of exercises.
2. Diet
A simple diet should include foods consisting of lean protein and complex carbohydrates. Try to eat smaller meals more often. Instead of 3 large meals, try 6 smaller meals. You can eat at your regular times for breakfast, lunch and dinner just eat smaller portions of the right foods. You would then add a morning snack, afternoon snack and an evening snack. Don’t make the evening snack too heavy. By eating smaller meals more often you will feel hungry less often resist the urge to snack on bad foods.
By eating the right foods your meals will also be more filling and provide more energy. Avoid high fat foods and foods high in processed sugar. One rule to follow is don’t eat the 3 whites: white sugar, white flour and white salt. You should also try and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
3. Sleep
Most people are not getting enough sleep. You should try to get between 7 and 8 hours of sleep a night. Lack of sleep is also a contributor to increased weight.
Benefits
Beyond appearance, simple exercise and simple eating can assist in cancer prevention, eliminate certain forms of heart disease and reduce stress. By following these simple steps, a person can lose weight, maintain a healthy weight, and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.
Get Fit. Stay Fit. Have Fun.

  8. I like it man, short and sweet, our ancestors seemed to survive and be fit without zoomba or tai bow, I've fallen into suppliments before and sometimes just taking care of yourself works far better.
