Staying Fit: A Surprisingly Simple Lifestyle Choice
Post by Danny Lamas. Follow me on Twitter.
Over the course of the last two years, I’ve found healthy eating habits and a regular exercise routine to be one of the single most effective life choices I’ve ever made. After packing on quite a bit of weight during my senior year of high school and even more during my freshman year of college, I made a simple choice during the summer of 2006: I would eat less, and exercise more. I started to care about nutrition again and got back into doing cardio. Without taking up too much psychological attention and stress, my new simple goal took me from 195 lbs to 150, shedding about 5 lbs a week on average and felt really great.
It wasn’t until the following summer that I began lifting, toning up, and getting into a far-more habitual and structured fitness routine that I enjoyed even more. But sometimes it’s easy to forget how easy it is to maintain or switch-up a routine by keeping it simple. Leo Babauta from Zen Habits rounds up a great set of rules to follow if you’re looking to get into fitness – especially to clear your head and set some smart goals in the midst of all the competing advice out there that can confuse and sometimes even prevent you from starting.
