How Really Fit People Get That Way
Adopting a few simple habits can turn a couch potato into a fit person. The ridiculously fit people in the world got that way by making these habits a way of life:
They Don’t Diet
Instead of obsessing over each and every calorie, fit people adopt a healthy, well-rounded diet. They eat a variety of fruits, veggies, whole grains and other healthy foods, and they stop eating when they feel full. They eat small meals and give themselves permission to cautiously indulge from time to time.
They Enjoy Exercise
The fittest people actually like working out – but that doesn’t mean they all enjoy the same activities. Some love putting on their workout grips or weightlifting gloves and sweating it out in the gym while others love hitting the road for a long run. Some prefer to burn off calories kayaking while still others do it through dance. The key is that they each find something they love to do, and that makes them to stick to their exercise routine.
They Get Enough Rest
Even the fittest people don’t use their workout grips every day. They give their bodies time to rest between workouts, and they get enough sleep each night. This boosts their health in many ways, including building their immune systems and reducing stress.
They Make Fitness a Top Priority
Fit people make a commitment to being fit. They know it takes work and time, but they find a balance with their family and work obligations, exercise and social lives. If they fall off their workout routine, they pick their weightlifting gloves back up to get on track again quickly.
