Ten Commandments for Fitness

1. Perform exercise daily for at least 25 minutes. This can include cardio, weights, yoga, or simply walking! Just move!

2. Eat lots of freshly cooked food and fresh fruits. Avoid junk food whenever possible. And never, ever use food as a reward!

3. Eat food at about the same time everyday. Don't ignore your hunger, and eat some food when feeling hungry, but don't over-eat.

4. Drink plenty of water, especially in the summer or when exercising. Aim for 8 to 12 glasses of H20 per day!

5. Develop habit of sleeping and waking up at the same time every day whenever possible.

6. Drink a tall glass of water half an hour before, and again after a meal!

7. Do stretching exercises routinely for your shoulder, neck and back. It’ll keep you limber, and alleviate stress!

8. Do breathing exercises daily for about 5-10 minutes. Really focus when you’re doing this.

9. Keep a small pocket of time (15 to 20 minutes) for yourself daily…and pass this time with nature, this will revitalize you.

10. Always focus on the BIGGER PICTURE. A healthier, leaner YOU! It’s good for the mind, body, and spirit!
