Getting fit and healthy is hard enough but actually maintaining it and remaining fit and healthy is just as hard. You need to find a good rhythm or what you do daily and alos start getting into healthier habits. It is a challenge to make changes in your life and keep them up but if you do it a bit at a time it can be a lot easier than just doing it all at once.
If you struggle to stay fit and healthy and you keep regressing or fluctuating from fit and healthy to not then these few tips should help you to make some changes in your life and make it easier for you to stay fit and healthy once you get there.
Make sure you exercise as part of your everyday life
You do not have to go to a gym or have copious amounts of fitness equipment to be able to get fit. Yes fitness centres like Fitness 19 are great places to go if you want to get fit but not necessarily if you want to stay fit. Once you are fit then you can maintain that just by doing some sort of activity during the day, this could be walking, going for a run, swimming etc. anything that is going to get your heart rate going and burn off calories. You can even workout at home with just your body weight and there are copious amounts of workouts for this on the internet.
Watch how much you are eating
To maintain being healthy and keep your balanced mental health you would have gained and any weight off you may have lost you need to watch how much you are eating. This can be bad especially when at work as it can be stressful and lead to stress eating, make sure if you are eating at work you have packed yourself healthy snacks so even when you do snack it is good for you. Also keep an eye on your portion sizes, a lot of people eat three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner but they have huge portions and think it is ok as they only ate three meals but this can actually cause overeating, also when only eating three meals you can snack more in between and intake more calories than you need to stay healthy.
Track your exercise and eating
The main reason people stop losing weight or give up is because they only track what they are doing up to the point when they hit their goals of weight loss or how they look and that can be a bad thing. If you stop tracking you can lose track when you are trying to maintain what you have achieved, this leads to overeating and not exercising enough to maintain the fitness levels. Try to continue any tracking you were doing even when you have achieved what you want to.
If you have worked hard to reach your health and fitness goals but you are struggling to maintain it and stay fit and healthy then hopefully, these few tips will give you some ideas of what you can do to make sure you stay on track.
