8 Steps to Fabulous Fitness

Steps to Fabulous Fitness The way you threat your body now determines how your body treats you when you’re older. To be 40 or 50 seems light-years away, but think of your body as a bank account. Investing in your body today means that in years to come you’ll have a better chance of staying healthy. Start now and you’ll be set for life.

Eat well for life.
Cut out one fatty item today and replace it with something healthy, like an apple or banana. Do this each day, so that as you’re decreasing your intake of junk, you’re actually increasing your intake of healthy food.
More in your meals.
You should be mixing carbohydrates with cereals, dairy products, lean red meat, chicken, fish and, of course, lot of fresh fruits and veggies. That way you’ll have more energy to get into exercising.
Drink it in.
Drink at least four glasses of water today, then up this amount each day until you’re drinking eight glasses everyday. Two liters or so of water each day keeps your body full of moisture from the inside, improves circulation, and helps get rid of toxins. Tea is OK, but keep coffee to two cups a day.
Get moving.
Take it slowly, starting out with gentle exercise, like a 30-minute power walk. As you get into the swing it, increase this amount each session to maybe 40 or 50 minutes, or even take it to a higher level, like a slow jog. Once your fitness levels are up, you can get more energetic.
In-line skating
Think all-over body workout and seriously flat abs. Skating really gets your heart racing and flying around your neighborhood is just too much fun!
Bike riding
Whatta fab lower body workout!Besides pumping your heart and building your fitness, bike riding works your butt, thighs and calves. Just don’t lean your weight on the handle bars-it defeats the purpose!
Put some heart into it.
Thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity ( anything that gets your heart rate up) at least three to four times each week helps reduce body fat and relieve depression, stress and anxiety.
Muscle up.
Exercise also means strengthening your muscle to support you and build good posture, as well as preventing muscle and bone weakening that begins in your 20s and 30s. Your cardio workout will give you most of these requirements but you can combine it with some light weight-lifting sessions at the gym (get a professional to workout your program), or a body sculpting class.
Stretch it out.
You want your body to be fit but your muscles also need to be supple. This means gentle stretching before and after exercise, as well as incorporating things like yoga and stretch classes into your routine.
Mix it up.
The more you enjoy exercise, the less likely you’ll be to get bored and quit. Combine your routine – for example, try one run, one swimming session and one in-line skating session each week. Or even team up with some of your friends and play volley-ball or go bike riding.
