Health tips i need to keep, ignore it please unless you want this too ♥

My grandma always told me to do one more, no matter how tired or bored you are. Always go one more.

Want a flat tummy? Try eating more oatmeal, broccoli, peanut butter, berries, nuts and whole grains.

Cut soda out of your diet once and for all. You'll see a major difference in your mood, teeth whiteness and weight.

An awesome reason to exercise: It can help clear up your skin! People who work out regularly tend not to break out as much, as physical activity helps circulate nutrients and oxygen to your skin.

New to running? Challenge yourself to jog for an entire song from your iPod next time you hit the track. Then walk for a song for a break. Easy!

Need some quick cardio? Running up and down your stairs is awesome.

Spice up your every-day run with intervals. Warm up for 5 minutes, and then do 10 sets of this combo: two minutes of a steady jog, one minute of a run/sprint. Do a 5 minute cool-down and ta-da! your new jazzed up workout.
Finding it hard to keep up the motivation to exercise?Create a tip jar for yourself and add to it every time you workout. Set a goal so you can treat yourself for all your hard work! A self-defense class is a great way to de-stress, stay fit and keep safe at the same time! Look up local classes and recruit a friend or family member to join.

People who write out exercise goals have a greater success rate, so put up healthy motivators on your mirror, computer and other places you’ll be sure to see them.

Did you know that laughing actually burns calories?

Make a point to work on your posture. Standing and sitting up straight is way better for your back and abs.

Handy new fact: Tidying up your room can burn up to 130 calories per hour! (this makes me want to take everything out of my room, organize it, and put it back together. possible 4 hours, i hope?)

Lying on the floor right after school and doing plank pose for 30 seconds is great way to tone those abs and give you a boost before homework.

Turn your fitness routine into a game with a deck of cards.Assign a different target area, like legs, abs, arms and butt, to each suite. Shuffle and see what you'll flip over next.

Try calf raises on the stairs to strengthen your gams. Let your heels hang off the edge and raise up on tip-toe, then lower back down. Aim for 30 reps! Try some wall pushups. Stand two feet from the wall, lean with your hands on the wall, slowly push yourself back until your arms are fully extended before returning to your original position. Start a 30-Day Challenge!Vow to pick an exercise routine and stick with it for a full 30 days. Trust us, you’ll love the emotional and physical results. Can’t do sit-ups without someone to hold your feet down? Find a piece of furniture you can slide your toes under to keep ‘em from poppin’ up. Then you can get better abs even when you’re solo. Commercials aren’t the only time to exercise during TV shows – try doing squats during the program. You’ll still be facing forward, and the show will distract you from the fact that you’re even exercising! We promise--working out just once makes you eager to do it again. Get started! Lifting weights isn't just for the boys! Grab a dumbbell and try some resistance work for a totally tough workout. Know yourself. If push-ups are the hardest for you, get them out of the way first. If you wait 'til your workout is almost over, you might skip them. We’re the first to admit it: home workouts can be tough to get into. Motivate yourself to get started by first just sitting on the floor and stretching. Then, warm up with a few easy crunches and push-ups. Soon, you’ll be pumped to start your routine. Next time you’re exercising, add an extra five minutes to your workout. You can do anything from adding five minutes to your jog to doing sit-ups and push-ups during those extra seconds. Increasing the length of your regular regime is a great way to keep your heart healthy and not get stuck in a workout rut. Whole grain vs. whole wheat? Whole grain is better for you because it doesn’t go through a refining process that strips it of nutritional goodies.

Warm up by eating spicier foods, which are satisfying and can help stimulate digestion at the same time.

Don’t avoid that sweet craving today. If you restrict yourself now, you might end up eating way too much at your next meal.

Slow down while you eat.Studies have shown that eating slower helps you to avoid overeating and improves digestion.

Here's another one, Apples and celery have negative calories, because it takes more calories to eat then the thing itself. Also with watermelon and cherries.

This is really good! The only thing that I don't agree with is that people who work out more have clearer skin. But that's only because I play hockey and we wears helmets so I sweat right on my forehead so I break out even though I have acne wipes that i use right after and i clean my face every day!

I could never regularly exercise. I guess I'm really talented at hockey but I just love the fact of being on a team and playing a sport that's fun and makes you healthy at the same timee. <333

You're welcome! Darling, I doubt you need to lose any weight, you're beautiful how you are. If you are seriously considering losing weight, ask your doctor so that you can lose it a healthy way(:

Another tip: Google what your calorie intake should be. You will find it out by using height, weight, and age. Then, once you figure that out, get an empty notebook and write down all meals and how many calories they are. That way, you won't go over your limit! For example, you would write

Breakfast: Slimfast 180 cals
Lunch: Slimfast 180 cals
Dinner: Chicken and vegetables and potatoes 400 cals
Snacks: Apple 20 cals
Water: 7 cups

I do it, and it helps tremendously. I've lost 4.5 pounds since New Years day! And make sure you write down a day even if you didnt do to well, so you can carefully track your eating pattern (:

Good! My brother helped me get started because he's a personal trainer (: If you don't mind my asking, how many calories do you have a day? I have 1300.
0 reply

of_mice_and_lucifer* · 1 decade ago
Cool(: Oh, well it's a range between 500 and 900. (I know you're gonna give me crap on how I should have more, but I usually have a little bit more. If you've ever read my quotes, then you would know how I hate my body exceedingly and I show just about all the signs of anorexia. I don't plan on stopping until I reach my goal.)

Watch how much peanut butter you eat, though. It's a protein, so, unless you exercise alot, it can put on a few pounds. But, if you want to gain weight, peanut butter is perfect. I love this quote, btw :)

Another random health tip: eating grape fruit helps with weight loss, the acid helps you lose fat.
If you are an emotional eater and eat when you are bored, whenever you feel hungry but you aren't place three fingers on your forehead and take five deeps breaths. Wait five minutes and the cravings should be gone.
Sometimes our brain thinks we are hungry when really we are just thirsty. Drink a glass of water before you eat a snack, if you still hungry then have a small healthy snack.
Its better to have a few snacks throughout the day then to ignore the hunger pains, it keeps your metabolism going
If you speed walk for half an hour a couple hours before you sleep it helps you burn calories while you sleep

Hope these help!
