Health Upp There is currently a global wave of fitness and well-being; next time you are out, take note of gyms, boxing and MMA camps and general fitness programs, which is a reflection of this. If you are always feeling tired and not in the best of health, we offer a few tips to help you create a healthier version of you.
- Start a weight training regime – If you have the self-motivation and are able to create your own weight training regime, do it, as Nike say, otherwise search online for local gyms, or better still, buy some weights and a mat and work out at home. For sporting injuries, your local physiotherapy clinic in Top Ryde has all the solutions regarding recovery. For best results, hire a personal trainer, a fitness pro who manages your program, while motivating you through the gruelling workouts. A PT sets a timeline and helps you to smash your fitness goals.
- Organic fruits & vegetables – There are many small organic farms in NSW and WA and they all have a website from where you can place your weekly order; fresh and organic produce is an essential part of a heathy diet. Drink fruit smoothies rather than soda drinks, make sure you stay hydrated by drinking 6-8 glasses of water per day and enjoy delicious salads.
- Take up yoga – This Far Eastern discipline develops body, mind and spirit; practitioners report a sense of calmness and tranquility; you can learn how to meditate, which is great for stress relief; invest in a mat and suitable clothing, then watch a few YouTube yoga videos, as there are many ways to meditate and you have to find one that best works for you. Yoga involved holding specific poses and practitioners report an elevated mood when doing a daily session. Click here for bicep curl tips.
- Engage with a sport – It might be golf, tennis, soccer or even badminton, something you enjoy and if you need to get in shape first, enroll in a local fitness class. Some people don’t like working out to a set routine and by playing a sport, you are working all the major muscle groups. Not only that, playing a sport you are passionate about is good for your mental health. If you can play competitively in a local team, you will make lots of new friends.
- Eat a balanced diet – Cut out items that are high in sugar level, white meat and red meat, in moderation, is fine, while drinking milk is great for the bones. Limit the amount of processed foods you eat and make a habit of reading the ingredients; Google can help you find out what additives are and avoid foods with harmful ingredients.
There are many things you can do to improve your overall health & well-being and we hope the above tips go some way to helping you create a healthier you!
