Good morning,
Tip of the day......here are some healthy tips for exercise and eating in the New Year.
Exercise Tips
Set
Realistic Goals:
Start with manageable fitness goals, such as attending two fitness classes a week or a 20-minute walk daily.
Incorporate Strength Training:
Focus on exercises that build muscle strength,
such as Pilates or light resistance training, to maintain bone density and improve balance.
Warm Up and Cool Down:
Always include a gentle warm-up and stretching routine to prevent injury and improve flexibility.
Make It Fun:
Choose activities you enjoy, whether that’s dancing, swimming, or group fitness classes, to stay motivated.
Stay Consistent:
Consistency is key—schedule your
workouts like appointments to make them a non-negotiable part of your week.
Listen to Your Body:
If something feels uncomfortable, modify the movement or consult a fitness professional.
Healthy Eating
Tips
Prioritise Whole Foods:
Focus on fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before and after exercise.
Portion Control:
Use smaller plates and be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating.
Limit Processed Foods:
Reduce the intake of high-sugar, high-sodium, and highly processed foods.
Include Protein with Every Meal:
Protein helps maintain muscle mass and keeps you feeling full longer.
Meal Prep for Success:
Prepare healthy meals and snacks in advance to avoid the temptation of unhealthy options.
Don’t Skip Meals:
Eating regular, balanced meals keeps your energy levels stable and prevents overeating later.
Enjoy Treats in Moderation:
The New Year is about
balance—allow yourself to enjoy your favorite treats occasionally.
Let me know if any of this helps in any way 😁
As usual would love your thoughts. 😀
Have a good weekend.
