Lifestyle changes for fit health

Lifestyle changes for fit health-HealthCampIndia


Hi Readers,

Did you know that, alongside visiting the gym, there are other changes you can make to improve your health, fitness, weight-loss and general well being?

Below are the things, we recommend :


CHANGING YOUR DIET

To Lose Weight you need to have a calorific deficit, by burning more calories than you consume, or reducing calories. If you are unsure of the calories in your diet, please visit: www.myfitnesspal.com.

Determine your optimal calorific intake by downloading the FitBit app or scan the QR code (left) for MyFitnessPal app; these apps track your diet and exercise

Make sure you drink plenty of water, reduce the amount of fizzy drinks, wine, beer, and (unless told otherwise by your doctor or dietician) your intake of refined carbohydrate foods: white bread, white rice, white flour, pasta etc.

MAKING EVERYDAY LIFESTYLE CHANGES

Simple changes to your routine can increase your daily amount of steps. 

Try walking instead of driving; taking the stairs instead of the lift; if you drive, park further away than you normally would; if you  catch the bus, get off one-stop earlier; collect your own printing from the printer or photocopier at work etc.

General tasks involve exercise; cleaning, DIY work, walking the dog, doing gardening - it all helps

ALLOWING YOUR BODY TIME TO RECOVER

Did you know muscle growth takes place during sleep?

Quality rest and relaxation is essential for many other key bodily functions.

Recovery is also important for your mental health and wellbeing, as you put your mind and body under higher stress when you exercise.

Alternatively, if you want to try an active recovery session, why not join in Yoga or Pilates class?

Swimming also provides a low-impact active recovery.

How to get the most from your time in the GYM?

Set yourself a realistic, structured, target-orientated plan - you will feel a sense of achievement when you hit your targets and see progress.

When bodybuilding, to gain muscle, it is always better for you to increase the amounts of reps, sets or/ and weights you undertake on a weekly basis
