Want to invest in your health? This is how to get fit in 2021, with achievable workout and lifestyle tips for YOU. 

BE PATIENT

No one can build  lean muscle in  months who never worked out before, nor can you lose all the weight and keep it off in a short period in time.

Being healthy is more important than a before/after post on social media. Gradual changes and sustaining a healthy lifestyle will have long term benefits, as opposed dangerous calorie-restricted diets that hurt your metabolism and make you weaker.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF

A good way to kickstart a new, healthier year is by setting up a challenge for yourself.  This doesn't have to be anything difficult: you can just pick a fitness wearable from our best fitness tracker or best running watch guide and do a 30-day step challenge. Every day, you must hit 10,000 steps, no matter what. 

GET MOBILE

We sit too much. And we all know that sitting for too long is not healthy. The issue is not the act of sitting, but the lack of movement. Standing up from time to time is important. Be more NEAT. NEAT is short for 'Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis' and although this sounds a very complex something, it really isn't.

WORKOUT AT HOME

Thanks to the pandemic and the subsequent lockdown, many of us re-evaluated their fitness efforts and came to the conclusion that you can workout and get fit at home. Home workouts are not without caveats but they are by far the most convenient and cost-effective way to get fit. find your own space and time for the workouts (if you can); you can do yoga having a dedicated area and time where you can focus on yourself helps getting in the right mindset. 

BRISK WALKING

Walking is one of the best way to introduce exercise in your life. Walking with a brisk pace – not strolling but not power walking either – can bring your heart rate up and therefore burn calories effectively. Let's say you weigh 220 pounds (100 kilos), by walking 5 miles, you can burn more than 600 calories! How great is that?
