How can I stay fit?
Stay positive
Having a positive mental attitude is the key. Find activities in which you have fun.
For us for example this means exercising with someone, a friend or a family member.
Small changes make a difference
Take it one step at a time.
For example instead of taking a ride walk or ride the bike. Use stairs instead of an elevator. When using the bus get off a few stops earlier and walk the rest.
Aerobic activity
Exercise which makes you breathe harder and increase your heart rate as well as lose body fat.
Examples of this can be, soccer, basketball, swimming, running and also walking
Warm up!
Start of with an easy exercise and stretch before doing any strenuous physical activities. This will warm up muscles and help against injuries. Make sure to stretch also after exercising!
Goal?
The goal is to be able to have some type of exercise everyday. The ideal would be to have around 20-30min. each day. Even one minute interactions from continued studying will help both your fitness and mental health.
Sleep
Make sure to get rest, not too much but not too little. Around 7-10 hours would be ideal.
A healthy lifestyle? Start with small changes!
Addicted to watching TV and Netflix? --> Exercise while watching Netflix, as an example: do some sit-ups, use hand weights, stationary bike, treadmill or even a stair climber ass well as marching in place. A 3 minute interaction for every hour siting.
Eat 3 healthy meals a day. Don't know which healthy meals to cook? Press the button "Meals" which will take you to suggestions on healthy meals.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, but especially when exercising. As this will replace the sweat you have lost during the exercising. Around 3 Litres a day is known to be a good amount.
Eat less fast food and junk food. These are mostly full of fat, cholesterol, salt and sugars. Less than 3 times a week.
Of course it is hard to stay fit if you smoke, drink too much alcohol or do drugs.
