Begin your day with positivity and you ll feel happy and energetic without any efforts. Staying fit brings a lot of mental peace and improves your quality of life. Stay on track and pass on the fitness addiction to others too.
Morning Wake up and take a walk to the nearest park or in your balcony to see some greenery around. The colour symbolizes freshness and is a treat for the eyes. It rejuvenates your senses. You can also chew tulsi leaves while doing so.
Breakfast Enjoy a combination of fibre and protein for breakfast today with this oats with soft eggs recipe. It s a great twist on the traditional sweet oats and savoury poached or boiled eggs. You can even sprinkle some flaxseeds or toasted pumpkin seeds on them.
Lunch The magic ingredient quinoa must be already stocked in your pantry. Use it frequently to make interesting recipes like this chicken and quinoa pulao. If you re a vegetarian, then you can replace the chicken with paneer or tofu. If you don t have either, add loads of veggies.
Snacks Every week or 15 days, bake some crackers or healthy biscuits that you can store and munch on whenever the 4pm hunger pangs strike. These multigrain crackers taste delicious with tea, milk or a nice dip or yogurt.
Dinner Cook an offbeat dinner today and treat your family to this easy and healthy international recipe. The grilled basa with couscous salad is an easy to make dinner recipe and looks fancy too. You and your family won t realise you are following any fitness routine or diet either.
Exercises
At home Now that fitness has become a daily habit, you can invest in some basic things like a stability ball. You can keep this in your office or at home and try various exercises using it. This particular stability ball exercise can help tone your oblique and abdominal muscles while burning calories too.
Yoga Yoga poses can certainly help you burn fat even though you may not sweat out so much. Hence it s important that you practice yoga regularly and learn different asanas. The Uddiyana Bandha is one such asana that helps burn fat, tones abdominal muscles and improves digestion too.
At the gym If you ve been concentrating on your back or abs during this week, move to a good triceps workout. These 4 exercises for your triceps are worth the effort. If you find them difficult, take help from the gym trainer.
Sleep well tip End your day with good thoughts just like you started in the morning. Sleeping with happy thoughts will ensure you sleep well and wake up fresh the next morning. It s important for mental health too.
