Fact about the fitness lifestyle

This is a very interesting topic that I always wanted to talk about. When we normally hear people talking about him or her having a fitness lifestyle the first thing that pops up in our mind would be that he/she must be involved in some exercise or some physical activities. But the fitness lifestyle doesn’t represent the niche people’s segment who are involved in physical fitness activities or only in sports activities.

Fitness lifestyle is the lifestyle which would reflect your personality. Fitness lifestyle can be a life that one lives by loving his/her body. Fitness lifestyle can include the healthy eating habits, drinking water, avoiding unhealthy food, involved in some activities basically we can say that it is a life where one does a different thing for overall wellness of himself/herself.

According to my experience, 30% of people are there who actually believes in fitness lifestyle especially in the country like India, Nepal or let's say on all south-east Asian countries.

It becomes very tough for people to change their eating habits and their current lifestyle which they are so adapted to, and it also becomes very tough for them to be consistent to the fitness habits like exercising, eating nutrient-rich food and being aware of the food that is harmful to our body. People just take their health for granted to be more precise.

I still remember me being involved in fitness lifestyle and how it really changed my life. The way you start seeing things are only different once you are within the boundary of fitness life. You start noticing all the commercials food like various junk food, that are available in the market, all those bottled and packet juice that contains a lot of sugar in it because you will understand the difficulties to reduce the amount of fat that you get out of it so slowly so ultimately you start getting yourself away from those things. This kind of awareness is dragging you to the fitness lifestyle. So knowingly or unknowingly you are being part of that 30% of the population who adopts the fitness lifestyle.

Fitness lifestyle comes from the awareness, its not only about getting into the shape, having a good body or being muscular, its about maturity that comes within. Its about changing yourself from what you used to be in the past. Its about adopting a life that is improvised by your own initiation and effort and when you look back at yourself it’s the thing that you can be proud of.

Here are some of my tips that can help you to live a fitness lifestyle:

1) Start loving your body.

2) Stop making a resolution about doing it next year or anything start off from tomorrow.

3) Know BMI(Body Mass Index) of your body that will help you to know the condition of your body and you can plan your fitness goal accordingly.

4) Start researching about food and nutrition I am sure if you are reading this then you are capable of researching about food and nutrition too.

5) Start drinking 3-4 liters water a day.

6) Sleep on time and sleep for at least 8 hours.

7) Make a habit of waking up early unless you are night shift worker.

8) Be consistent and patient with your body and results in it doesn't happen in a period of a month, because so far for many years you have taken your body for granted.

9) And lastly, inspire others to adopt a fitness lifestyle trust me that give yourself a push to live one.
