Ideas to jump-start your fitness and health after the New Year

Hey, everybody! If you’re like everybody else after the Christmas season, you’re probably reeling from all the eating and festivities through Christmas and the New Year. How do we get back on the fitness saddle? Here are some ideas:

Clean eating

For some, this includes a diet of just fruits and vegetables. For others, it allows partaking of lean meats or low carbohydrate diets. For a number of people, it can be juicing. The jury is still in debate regarding all of these methods. But if there’s one thing we learned from these dietary strategies, it’s that clean eating helps improve gut bacteria and helps with health and fitness. People think that it’s a detox but really, it’s an improvement in gut bacteria.

Commit to a fitness plan

Enroll in a gym. Get sessions with a personal trainer. Set a fitness goal and really stick to it. Sticking to it makes it a habit and hopefully, a lifestyle. Try to stick to your fitness even past the Sinulog festival!

Prepare for summer

Summer bodies inspire us to take our fitness seriously. Prepare for the summer by envisioning how you want to look at the beach and start working on it.

Diet delivery services

Yes, these work on getting you started to a path of more moderate food consumption as the meals are already prepared beforehand. You also learn to eat less in the process.

Go into a fast

Fasting isn’t starvation. Fasting is a process of having no food for at least a day. This helps with gut bacteria and also improves lipid oxidation.

Before you embark on any fitness or health regimen, make sure you have the consent of a medical professional. I hope these tips get you healthier and fitter through 2019!
