Spring into Action!
Spring arrives in a few short days; it's time to put away that heavy winter wear and greet the new warmer weather. Along with the new season you might want to start a new routine or freshen up an old one. Here are a few things to keep in mind:- Many people tend to add a few pounds in the winter, so it's important to get your metabolism going! Always eat a good breakfast. Many studies have proven that people who eat breakfast burn more calories throughout the entire day.
- A daily twenty-minute weight lifting routine will speed up metabolism and increase muscle mass, helping burn more calories. Are you looking for a challenge? Try using slightly heavier weights. The body adapts quickly, regularly increasing the weight you’re lifting is a simple way to continue challenging yourself.
- Get at least seven to nine hours of sleep each night, it helps metabolize food more efficiently during the day.
- Worn-out soles can lead to injury, so check your walking or running shoes. Think about getting yourself a pedometer while you're at it!
- Drink water! For maximum weight loss, you should drink at least eight glasses of water each day and four to six ounces of water for every 15 minutes of exercise.
- Go outside and enjoy the season! Walking is a great stress reducer. University researchers found that both fast and slower-paced walking will increase weight loss, especially around the stomach area.
