It’s not easy keeping fit. You have to watch what you eat and stay active. If you take even just a couple of days off, this can result in you losing ground and having to start again!
Complicating matters, there are many different diets out there to choose from and it can be hard to know which to pick. Then, you have to figure out how to motivate yourself and get yourself to the gym or to work out. Finding motivation can be harder than the actual workout!
Since we are all chasing fitness, what do we mean by fitness? When pressed, experts generally agree that the most important form of fitness is cardiovascular fitness, or ‘cardio’ fitness. This is basically a workout for your heart and lungs.
Cardio fitness focuses on increasing the efficiency of your heart and lungs. When you have an efficient heart and lungs, then they are better able to deliver oxygen and blood to your body. When you have better cardio fitness, you also make your circulation and metabolism stronger as well.
How long do you need to work at it to get fit? Well, it depends on the individual but in general experts suggest that an average adult will need 45 minutes of cardio workout a day, and that this should be completed five times per week. That is just for maintenance, not weight loss. If you want to actually lose weight, you have to spend even more time.
You also have to watch what you eat if you want to be fit and healthy. Follow a balanced diet of natural, healthy foods for optimum health.
Your healthy diet should consist mostly of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. You can have some healthy fat, but keep this to a minimum. You also need to take in protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
If you follow these steps that have been provided above, you will likely enjoy better health for life.
