Getting
fit is not an easy task. It can take weeks or even months of hard
training and paying attention to what you eat. Staying fit can be even
harder. It is very common to see people meet their fitness goals and
then quickly fall off their new healthy lifestyle leading to them
reversing all of that progress that they worked so hard for. While
staying fit can be hard, there are little things we can do to make the
process easier. Try some of these tips for maintaining your fitness
level with little effort!
1. Fasting
Fasting
is the restriction of food for a set period of time. Fasting can be a
great way to increase your fat burn and stay lean! Try intermittent
fasting by skipping breakfast and eating lunch as your first meal.
2. Go for a Walk
Taking
a break or two during the day to go for a short walk can be a great way
to burn some extra calories. This is especially important if you have a
desk job!
3. Cutting Carbs
Low carb diets
are extremely popular for weight loss and for good reason. Studies have
shown that low carb dieting can be a great way to lose weight. It can
also be a great strategy if you are worried about gaining weight back.
4. Play a Sport You Love
If
you stop being active it will be hard to stay fit. You may not want to
spend a couple of hours running on a treadmill, but picking a sport you
love like basketball or ice skating can be a great way to stay active
while doing an activity you love.
5. Get a Standup Desk
If
you are stuck at a desk all day it can be hard to stay in good shape.
If your office allows it, try a standup desk. You may be surprised at
how much this can benefit your overall health just by standing and using
your leg and core muscles to stay fit.
6. Try HIIT Cardio
HIIT
or high intensity interval training can be a great way to burn a ton of
calories without having to put a ton of time in the gym. Studies have
even found that HIIT cardio can allow you to burn more calories over the
course of the rest of the day.
7. Split up Your Exercises
If
you are burned out on exercising, try splitting up your exercises in
the morning and evening. This will allow you to spend less time in the
gym per session!
8. Try Lower Calorie Desserts
Everyone
wants to enjoy dessert, but if you are trying to stay fit some of these
high calorie creations can be a problem. Look online for low calorie
desserts so you can indulge guilt-free.
9. Switch to a Ketogenic Diet
The
ketogenic diet has been shown to improve metabolism by allowing for
more fat burning. This diet allows you to eat bacon and stay fit!
10. Take the Stairs
This
is a small change that can make a big difference. Rather than taking
the elevator, try taking the stairs a couple times a day. It will only
take a few extra minutes and can play a big role in keeping you fit.
11. Drink Water before Your Meal
If
you are coming off a diet, hunger tends to be much higher. This can
lead to overeating which will make maintaining your fitness that much
harder. Try drinking a big glass of water before your meal to help you
feel fuller and prevent you from overeating.
12. Eat a High Protein Breakfast
Studies
have found that those eating a high protein and higher fat breakfast
burn more fat during the day compared to those consuming carbs. Reach
for some eggs rather than that banana!
13. Eat More Fiber
Fiber
can be another great way to make you feel fuller and prevent yourself
from overeating. One of the best ways to get fiber is through vegetables
or fiber supplement like Quest bars.
14. Get a Good Night's Sleep
This
is an often overlooked aspect of health and fitness. Not getting a good
night's rest can wreak havoc on your metabolism making it much easier
to gain weight.
15. Use a Step Counter
Using
a step counter can be a great way to see how active you are. Shoot for a
step goal hit it every day to maintain your fitness.
16. Fit in 20 Minutes of Activity
Life
can be busy which makes staying in shape that much harder. If you set
aside time every day to be active, even for just 20 minutes, you may
find that staying fit is that much easier.
17. Use a Ball Chair
Using
a ball chair can help you work your core during the day while working
at your desk. This way you can train your abs and still get your work
done.
18. Take Your Phone Calls on the Go
If
your job entails many business calls, try taking your business calls
while taking a walk. A thirty-minute conference call can turn into a
30-minute walk and that can help you stay in shape!
19. Don't Pair Carbs and Fat
Plan
your meals so you aren't eating a lot of carbs and fat at the same
time. Research has found that this can lead fat storage which will not
be beneficial for staying fit.
20. Try a Little Caffeine
Caffeine
can be a great way to not only give you more energy but also burn a few
more calories. If you find yourself feeling lethargic and sedentary,
drink some coffee to wake up and start moving!
You've worked so
hard to get fit, staying fit should not be as difficult as we often make
it. Of course if you go back to a life full of junk food, sitting on
the coach, and no exercise, these tips won't work for you. However, if
you are still trying to life that healthy lifestyle, these tips could be
just the thing to make it that much easier to stay fit!
