Make exercise a daily habit:

starting a daily physical routine is easy but continuing to maintain it is a difficult task. The first thing you must religiously follow is to never skip a habit of daily exercise, a 5-minute stretch after you wake up, or even better join a gym, and motivate yourself to go hit the gym daily without skipping a day. 

Turn off the TV, Computer & Smart Phone:

being addicted to technology will not do much good in your journey to get fit. Refraining from using them just to kill time can save you plenty of time. 

Turn off your devices and go for a 15 min walk instead, these simple changes could add up to an effective life asset in the long run. 

Eat the right foods & portions for each meal:

including lots of vegetables & fruits in your diet could keep you healthy, fitter, and fresh all day long. Instead of munching on snacks, fried and baked in oil, try indulging in healthy eating habits by taking in fruit juices and vegetable salads.

Portion control is also important. There are some foods that you can eat in any amount. But generally, establish the routine of serving yourself a healthy portion of food on your plate instead of indulging in overeating.

Get enough sleep:

Your physical health will be significantly improved by maintaining a regular sleep schedule. Turn off the screens and begin to wind down an hour or so before you go to bed. Make an effort to maintain a consistent bedtime and wake-up time each day.

Spend time with friends & family:

keeping mentally & emotionally healthy eventually keeps you physically healthy too. Your whole health is significantly impacted by stress and general mood. Even though it’s sometimes ignored, it’s a crucial component of physical health. You can lower your risk of developing depression and other health issues by avoiding isolation by having caring interactions with your family & friends.
