Steps To help You Get Fit

 

Getting fit is very important to every individual. when you are fit, you are free from some sickness and disease. Being fit does not only relates to physical well-being but also mental, social and spiritual well-being. so in this article, i will highlight some of the steps to take in other to b fit.

Step to get fit:

1. Making you physical exercises in to a daily routine. you can achieve that by committing yourself to jogging a few kilometer every morning before taking breakfast.
2. Create a good exercise regimen: A proper fitness program has five components: a warm-up, an aerobic workout, strength-building exercises, stretching (flexibility), and a cool-down. Please, if you are over the age of 60 or who has heart disease, high blood pressure, or arthritis should consult a doctor before attempting interval training.
3. Try different exercises: Any physical activity that takes a bit of effort will help you get fit, but it's important to remember that variety is the spice of life and of physical fitness! More importantly, as your body gets comfortable performing a

5. Join extracurricular activities like playing sports! Being with other people helps motivate you to keep going. For example, you're doing track. Your teammates motivate you to keep going (and possibly the fact you don't want to be last), unlike when you're at home on the treadmill by yourself when you can easily press a button and you're done.
6. Feed yourself well with good food. As you become more active, you'll need more food, but not just any food—you need healthy, energy-laden food that will jump-start the next phase of your day, not weigh it down.
7. Drink 1.5~2 liters (0.5 US gal) of water each day. Water keeps you hydrated and promotes optimal metabolic activity. Moreover, water takes up a great volume in your stomach, so you will feel fuller without having consumed many snacks or meals. This is a great tool to keep off the excessive calories that you don't really need but consume due to psychological eating or not knowing your satiety levels.
8. Always ensure to have a proper rest. Many of us underestimate the importance of a good night's rest, but it's crucial for long-term health that you give your body a proper amount of sleep each night. Try and get around seven to eight hours a night on a regular basis.
9. Get a check-up. To stay fit in the long run, you should perform regular maintenance on your body, just as you would with a car. Take yourself to the doctor and dentist regularly to make sure everything is running smoothly on the inside and to prevent any potential problems from arising. 
   
   Eat adequate protein. This tip will also spark off a debate, because many bodybuilders will recommend one gram of protein intake per pound of body weight. However, most nutritionists will recommend 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight (divide your weight in pounds by 2.2 to get kilograms) for those trying to build muscle, and less for those who don’t exercise. If you eat a regular American diet with lots of meat, you eat well over this amount, so don’t worry about it. Vegetarians like myself can also easily get this amount if they try to get good sources of protein with every meal (nuts and nut butters, beans, tofu, soy milk, whole grains, etc.).
