WTF!!!<\/p>\n<p>If you are serious about the whole Fitter, Healthier, Happier me then here\u2019s the key tips to make sure it is a <strong>Habit, not a Hunch.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Create a REALISTIC workout routine <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WHEN can you DO a 30-45 min workout 4-5 times a week?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yep, it needs to be that often to see and feel a significant difference.<\/li>\n<li>PLAN it into your diary, as you would a meeting, food shop, catch up with a buddy etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>WHAT do you enjoy doing? <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weights, Run, Powerwalking, Classes etc MIX up your workouts. Not only to get better all-round results in Strength, Fitness &amp; Flexibility. If you do the same thing, you will get bored quickly, start to dread it and find every excuse to cancel.<\/li>\n<li>If you start to enjoy your workout time, you are MUCH more likely to stick with it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>COMMIT yourself to at least 3mths!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rome wasn\u2019t built in a day, consistency is key, it takes at least 7 weeks to create a GOOD habit, for LIFE!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>You CAN\u2019T outrun a FORK <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s awesome if you are working out to get fitter, stronger etc but if you want to shed that excess baggage you need to look at what you are eating too. Unfortunately, your body shape is 80% food and 20% exercise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>Don\u2019t DIET&#8230;The first three letters spell DIE!!<\/h1>\n<p>YES, you need to watch what you eat, but you are all smart enough to know what GOOD is and what you need to refrain from over-indulging in! Jump off the Yo-Yo diet and start to create better food habits, for LIFE.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drink more Water<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A hydrated body will flush out the crap, keep your metabolism up, your brain clear and your body working efficiently. There\u2019s a shed load of other benefits including bone density, bloods, heart etc. Aim for 2-3 litres of water a day. The excess peeing will stop in a few days, get through that and you have nailed it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Eat the Rainbow <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The more colour you have on your plate, the more likely you are getting some goodness into your body, and I\u2019m not talking about eating a bag of skittles!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Ditch the Crap<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Treat a TREAT as a TREAT not a daily substance! You can still enjoy those indulges, just not every day. I\u2019m talking crisps, cake, chocolate, pastries, sweets and ice-cream, you know all the sweet sticky stuff that tastes great for a second, then leaves you feeling sluggish and low afterwards!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>White is so Last Year! <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A simple switch to wholegrain or brown carbs, will give you more fibre, be less starchy, easier to digest and keep you fuller for longer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Protein is Power <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019m not talking full on keto, unless that\u2019s your thing? Protein is the main building block for muscles and energy, the more protein on your plate, less carbs and more rainbow is an easy way to give your body the best fuel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Intermittent Fasting <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019m a HUGE fan and have been for over 5 years now and its part of my daily life. 12-14 hours of fasting (I do it overnight, its easier) means your body has the time to digest, flush out, do its natural thing, burn off, use, store, flush and build what it should!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Portion Caution <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How much is on your plate? WTF!!! Use your hand as a guide.<\/li>\n<li>PALM of protein, FIST of carbs, Thumb of fat, Two fingers of dairy<\/li>\n<li>The rest should be the rainbow and lots of raw dark leafy greens, spinach, rocket etc is the way forward!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not Rocket Science and none of this is New News! You need to be realistic, committed and prepared to dig deep to make a difference. You have one BODY, one LIFE and a lot of chances to create the best version of YOU. Once you get through the hard yard, you WILL discover a new love for yourself and I really hope this Year is, your YEAR.
