TENEVIS Top Ten Fitness Tips!

Feb. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Fitness Tip #1
Write down our goals and be specific. Don’t just say, "I want to loose weight." A good example may be "To loose ten pounds by June 1st". When we write down our goals, they become more realistic and easier to achieve, because they are more then just a random thought. Just like when you need to reach a new destination by car. If you don't have directions, you may never get there. Get a map and you will!

Fitness Tip #2
Write down what you are going to do to reach that goal. An example is: "I will lift weights and do cardio four times each week, and eat more protein." Or "I will eat every three hours and include at least 25 grams of protein in each meal." Having a plan, is like a map, and it will make your goal more attainable. Talk to a fitness expert at your gym, or begin reading magazines to learn more about how to reach your goals.

Fitness Tip #3
Take a ‘before’ photo of yourself today! This way you will be able to see exactly what you look like. Many of us don’t want to have our photo’s taken, but we need to face our physical selves straight on. Keeping the camera hidden is not going to hide the weight, it may only make your situation worse.

Fitness Tip #4
Get your body composition done, so you know your starting point. Every six months, having your body composition done is very helpful. When we are trying to gain or loose weight, the scale is not the best way to track our progress. The results from a composition tells us what kind of weight we are gaining or loosing, and what we are made of today.

Fitness Tip #5
Start reading fitness and bodybuilding magazines! Better yet, reward yourself with a subscription. From reading magazines such as ‘Muscle & Fitness’, ‘Oxygen’, ‘Muscle Mag’, ‘Flex’ and 'Ironman', I have educated myself on how to eat for a hard lean body! The learning never stops and I today I read each and every issue of Oxygen, and often pick up the others.

Fitness Tip #6
Write down what you are eating and when. This is important because you will learn what foods are causing you to gain weight, or loose it. Plus when you are writing down your foods, it’s much harder to record 3 brownies, so you choose not to eat them. You will find yourself more conscious about each food choice you are making, and you will begin to make healthier meals.

Fitness Tip #7
Eat 5 - 6 small meals a day, every three hours. When we eat often, our metabolism speeds up, and we burn more calories at rest. We also think better, have less stress, and have more energy. Since our bodies can utilize only so many calories at one time, eating more often and in smaller portions is the ONLY way to eat.

Fitness Tip #8
Eat until you are no longer hungry, NOT until you are full. *There will always be another meal! Keep busy in between meals and find other ways besides food to spend your time.

Fitness Tip #9
Work up to drinking at least two liters of water a day. One liter of water can be during your workout. At first you may find this hard, but your body WILL start to crave the water. Drinking water will help you feel refreshed, help relieve headaches, and curb your appetite. To living it up, add a squeeze of lemon.

Fitness Tip #10
Buy a Nutritional Almanac and read how many calories are in the foods you eat. As we grew up, we were not taught about foods the way we should have been. We were not taught about calories and the affects certain calories have on our bodies.
