HEALTH AND FITNESS TIPS<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1.\u00a0Eat a healthy breakfast.\u00a0<\/strong>Eating breakfast starts your day off on the right foot and gives you fuel for the day that will help you make better food decisions throughout the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Get moving.\u00a0<\/strong>Walk where you can, whenever you can. Walk to a co-worker\u2019s desk instead of sending an email. Take a lap around the block. You don\u2019t have to take long or intense walks, but try to add a few more steps to your day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Find a workout buddy.<\/strong>\u00a0It may not be for everyone, but for a lot of people, having a buddy to meet for workouts helps with accountability and enjoyability. If your friends\u2019 workout schedules don\u2019t work with yours, check out\u00a0small group training\u00a0and\u00a0group exercise\u00a0options. Try out\u00a0profit singularity ultra edition<\/a><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Make it easier to get a full night\u2019s sleep.\u00a0<\/strong>Blocking out unwanted noise, keeping your room cooler and making sure your bedroom is dark enough are all ways to help perfect your sleeping environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Play with your pet.\u00a0<\/strong>Your furry friend does a great job of reducing stress in your life, and reducing stress in your life makes it easier to keep your fitness goals. Also, putting effort into playtime with your pet may be a great way to get in some activity for the day!<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Spend time with positive people.<\/strong>\u00a0When getting started with a new habit or lifestyle change, it\u2019s important to surround yourself with people who support you and can give you encouragement. Make plans with your support system this week to absorb some positivity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Write down and review your progress.<\/strong>\u00a0S<\/span>eeing<\/span>\u00a0what you have accomplished<\/span>\u00a0will keep you motivated, allow you to see your progress and keep you focused on your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Make food changes slowly.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b>Don\u2019t try to change everything at once! Instead of making drastic changes all at once, make a few small adjustments every week or month to help you get where you want to be. Try a new\u00a0ICON Meals Signature meal\u00a0or modify the proportions you\u00a0eat with our\u00a0customs menu,\u00a0and let your body acclimate\u00a0between\u00a0changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Eight (8-ounce) cups of water a day.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b>The amount of water each person needs can vary, but eight cups a day is a good rule of thumb (possibly more depending on your activity level).<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Start your day off with positive thoughts.\u00a0<\/strong>What are you looking forward to? What fun or exciting things may happen today? We\u2019re not telling you to forget any negative or worrisome things you are dealing with in your life, just remind yourself of the things that can and do give you a sense of calm or put a smile on your face.<\/p>\n

11. Exchange the elevator for the stairs.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b>Stairs are great at getting those steps in and it’s great exercise. Adding more flights of stairs into your routine can increase your conditioning as well!<\/p>\n

12. Meal prep & cook ahead.\u00a0<\/strong>Resorting to fast food or vending machine snacks is often the result of not having a better option easily available. Making a plan for the week can help you schedule in time to prepare your food while juggling all of your weekly responsibilities. Try to set aside a few hours to make a few meals all at once, and you can start your week off with all your meals ready to go by ordering from\u00a0ICON Meals!<\/p>\n

13. Fit in a short workout before your shower.\u00a0<\/strong>Give yourself a few extra minutes before you shower to fit in some bodyweight exercises. Or, do them before you make your bed in the morning or after doing your dinner dishes. Pick a\u00a0regular moment during your daily routine and commit to a few exercises. Squats, lunges, push-ups, sit-ups and planks are all easy to fit in \u2013 no matter the room of your house! Read more about\u00a0fluxactive<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

14. Go to bed at the same time every night.<\/strong>\u00a0Or at least as much as possible. Everyone\u2019s schedule changes, but training your body to begin the sleep process at a similar time each evening can help you fall asleep more quickly and prevent those nights of restless tossing and turning.<\/p>\n

15.\u00a0Try\u00a0short but intense workouts.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b>Don\u2019t have 45 minutes to spend at the gym every evening? Squeeze in a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout This type of workout alternates short periods of maximum effort with less intense recovery periods. Think jump rope workouts, sprinting intervals on the treadmill, circuit training and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
