8 Tips for a Healthy Lifestyle

Remember, in both exercise and dieting, LONG TERM is key. Trying to get in shape or changing your diet in one week isn’t a lifestyle change; it’s a radical change. Instead, try making small changes over a longer period of time. By committing to loosing 2 to 3 pounds a month you’ll create a longer lasting lifestyle adjustment that can last forever.

We wanted to share some tips with you to keep you motivated on your 2023 fitness goals.

Learn to read and understand labels. Most labels include ingredients, both good and bad, as well as the recommended daily allowance and nutrition facts. Try to lower your intake of foods high in sugars and trans fats.

Get more “incidental” workouts. Be creative: Park at the back of the parking lot instead of the front row, throw a ball around with the kids, use the stairs instead of the elevator, walk faster than usual and even take the long way around.

Try to replace a coffee or soft drink every day with a glass of water. Better yet, make sure you drink at least eight glasses of water every day. Set goals. Having a real goal for better eating and exercises increases your chance of actually accomplishing the goal. Share this goal with someone to help keep you accountable & increase the likelihood of achieving it!

Remember a healthy lifestyle is more than just eating right and working out. Keep a positive healthy mental attitude is key.

No pain, no gain isn’t true. It’s good to be sore, but bad to be injured. Take it slow and don’t over do it. Fitness shouldn’t be a fad. Make it a lifetime goal.
