Simplify your day with basic tips to stay fit and on track of your fitness goals. You have just 5 more days to go before you complete your yearlong fitness journey. So stay motivated.
Morning If you are not up to exercising early morning because of a busy schedule, then make your day energetic and productive with simple tricks like deep breathing. Just a few minutes of deep breathing can release toxins, beat anxiety, strengthen your immune system and give you clarity of thought too.
Breakfast Why use the regular ingredients in a sandwich and make it boring. This interesting recipe of chicken and apple sandwich with multigrain bread is going to take the same time for preparation as your regular sandwich but is going to be a delight for your family. Kids will love it too.
Lunch You know by now that it is not necessary to give up on rice completely to lose weight. You just need to use brown rice more often and once you start getting used to the taste, you won t crave for white rice at all. Try this chickpea and herb brown rice for lunch today with crunchy green salad.
Snacks Running out of options for snacks this festive season? Try any of these 7 healthy snacks that are perfect for weightloss and extremely low in calories. You can carry them along easily and store a few of them too.
Dinner It s the end of the year. You can t cheat because you are saving it for New Year s Eve. However, you can definitely celebrate each day with interesting and healthy fancy dishes. For instance, this spring pea pasta with ricotta and herbs sounds festive and sets the mood for a perfect evening for family dinner.
Exercises
At home If you have hit the gym before your home exercises today, jog or brisk walk on your way back instead of using a cab ride. You can also use a cycle to go to the gym. Once you are back, complete these cool down stretches to relax your tired muscles.
Yoga For toning your hips and thighs, you can practice the Anjaneyasana or the lunge pose. It engages your core and thighs perfectly. Just 15 minutes of this asana every day can give you the desired toning in a few months.
At the gym Just like Tadasana in yoga helps improve posture, the side dumbbell bends help you achieve that at the gym. Take help from your trainer to master these to prevent back pain during exercises.
Sleep well tip It s best to avoid caffeine during late evenings if you have to sleep well at night. Similarly, include these snooze foods in your diet during the day especially evenings as they induce better sleep.
