Deciding to Get FitOne favorite phrase of those who only dream of being fit is, "I'll start tomorrow". You have to find motivation to get fit and shove that motivation in your face everyday. Getting fit needs to be a priority in your life. One favorite phrase of those who only dream of being fit is, "I'll start tomorrow". You have to find motivation to get fit and shove that motivation in your face everyday. Getting fit needs to be a priority in your life. Many make the decision to get fit after they are told by a doctor that NOT getting fit will kill them soon. When you are told you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or blocked arteries, the need to become fit suddenly is clear. What are some of the steps you can take right now to become fit? One step that you can make a commitment to is that of drinking more water each day. Decide just how much water you presently drink each day. If you don't drink any, then set your goal for drinking 3 glasses of water a day. You can drink a glass of water at each main meal. You can also drink one glass of water as soon as you rise in the morning (highly recommended), one in the afternoon and one sometime in the evening. However, it works for you, just do it. If you normally drink 3 glasses of water make your goal to drink 5 glasses of water each day. If you presently drink 5 glasses of water go for 8. After a week of being able to achieve your goal easily increase the amount of water you drink each day until you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day. You should drink more when it is hot outside, especially if you are out in the heat, or if you are exercising. It is important to drink one glass of water before exercising, drink water during your exercise or workout and then drink another glass of water after you finish exercising. If you have a difficult time drinking water try to drink it with lemon or with one teaspoon of honey (not sugar).
Another step is to make a commitment to some kind of physical activity each day. You can do anything that gets your body moving such as taking the dog for a walk. Putting your young child in a stroller and pushing them to a neighborhood park, tossing a baseball or football with a friend or child, swim a couple of laps, play tennis with a buddy, do 30 minutes of continues housework, park your car in the farthest parking lot and walk to the entrance of the store or building, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or dance to your favorite music. Join a fitness program or exercise group in your community for companionship while you exercise. If you make exercising fun, you are more likely to continue doing it.
You can also get fit by doing this step that many people avoid and that is feeding your body the proper fuel it needs to be healthy such as vitamins and minerals that you get from fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat foods containing fiber. Avoid red meat or replace it with lean cuts of meat, chicken, and fish. There you have them, several steps that you can take one at a time that will take you down the path for achieving a fit body. Take that first step and decide right now that you are going to get fit.
