Our Our Top Ten Exercise and Personal Training Tips

April 7, 2010 - PRLog -- These 10 easy to follow tips will help you to start working towards a healthier, happier body and lifestyle. So get started now to be in the shape of your life.

1. Start a food diary – It may surprise you to see exactly how much food you eat in a day. A food diary is also a great way for you to view your meal patterns and it will show what times of the day you are prone to snacking on junk food.  It doesn't have to be anything fancy.  A simple diary or scrap book will work fine.

2. Find a training partner or personal trainer – Someone to motivate you and work with you will be a huge factor helping your lifestyle change. With no support it is possible your motivation and good intentions may not last – so find someone to push you and keep you accountable.

3. Get into a routine and make exercise a habit! – Make exercising part of your daily routine. If exercise is as much part of your life as brushing your teeth then it will be much easier to stick to. But remember forming a habit takes time, so use your training partner to push you when you’re starting out.  Also try to train at a similar time of the day each week or even each day, so the routine fits in closer with your weekly schedule.

4. Drink more water – aim for at least over one liter a day. Leave a water bottle on your desk at work or keep one in the car. Water will cleanse your body and keep you healthy.  And with all the added exercise you will need to be putting more in as you sweat.

5. Exercise – Anything is better than nothing at all! If you find it hard to get motivated after work, take your runners with you in the morning and walk in your lunch break.

6. Eat low G.I. – eat simple, unprocessed foods as much as possible. You will feel the difference.

7. Eat fresh – fresh is best, the more foods are processed the more nutrients they will lose through the refining process.

8. Train with out trying – increase the amount of incidental activity you are doing throughout the day. Park a little further away from work so you have to walk the rest of the way and or use the stairs instead of the lift. Easy!

9. Set Goals – having both short term and long term goals for yourself will ensure you are always heading in the right direction. Whether your goals are to run a marathon or drop two dress sizes, or just to run around the block without stopping, always have your goals in mind when you are exercising. Write them down somewhere handy and look at them every day to make sure you’re moving forward.

10. Stay on track – Even when your feeling much fitter and healthier make sure you stay on track. Other things in your life may get in the way but try and stick to a routine.  You’ll feel fantastic when you achieve your goals, but make sure the old habits don't sneak back to haunt you.

And remember… everyone has blow-outs, just don’t let that chocolate cake beat you. Get back on track the next day and enjoy your new healthier self.
