In this day and age of diet pills and plastic surgeons, it can be frustrating to struggle with losing weight naturally. Rather than despair atop your pant-size plateau, consider the following tips and tricks to boost your fitness success:
Practice Discipline, Not Restriction
As a busy 21st century woman, you probably find it difficult to fit three square meals into your day. Thankfully, modern research suggests that smaller snacks throughout the day are in fact better for you, not only keeping your metabolism up but promoting a sustained store of energy throughout the day. Enjoy a healthy nosh before and after a workout, and grab a snack on the go for whenever your stomach starts talking back to you.
Embrace Resistance
No matter how much you love to run, you’ll want to incorporate a bit of anaerobic exercise into your fitness routine for optimal health. Not only will weights and strength training (also known as resistance) increase your body’s ability to heal, but you’ll improve your resting heart rate and even encourage the break-down of fat while at sitting still!
Change It Up
Not just to keep your muscles guessing but to ensure that your whole body gets its fair share of work, switch up your routine to maximize results. Join a class, go for a run, play with your kids and join a rec league; any sort of activity that gets you moving counts! Remember to alternate between low- and high-intensity drills to get the most out of your workout.
