You’re not ever going to achieve any one particular level. Fitness is basically a life long journey, you always have to work on it. Four weeks is a very good starting point especially if you’ve been very inactive or you haven’t been eating a healthy diet. You can definitely see major improvements in your overall level of fitness in 4 weeks. So we’ll discuss a few things that will help get you started.
One of the first thing to keep in mind as far as your eating is concerned is making sure your getting plenty of plain water. Your body is really like machine and water is in your body similar to oil in a car, food is you fuel, the water that your drinking is what helps your body filtered all the things that are going through on a daily bases.
Without enough water, your kidney will have a hard time filtering things and they can experience fatigue. So make sure you get plenty of plain water. Same as a car, if you don’t put enough clean oil in your car, even if it has enough gasoline, that engine is eventually going to blow up. Similar concepts applies to your body so make sure your getting plenty of water.
The other thing is to make sure is that your eating a balance diet. Make sure to include plenty of fruits and vegetables every single day. Eat plenty of whole grains because that’s going to be your carbohydrate source such as wheat bread, brown rice, whole grain pasta, and whole grain cereal. Those are good healthy source o complex carbohydrate.
Also include good lean source of healthy protein whether that comes from nut seeds, beans, lean meats, fish, or poultry without the skin. All those food will help provide you with the energy you need to actually start a fitness program.
For physical activities, the best thing to do is to make sure you incorporate all 3 major aspects of physical activity. That includes stretching, cardio vascular activity such as walking or swimming and last but not least is strength training.
You really need all 3 aspects of physical activity for your overall health to make sure your muscles are strong, that your tendons are flexible, and that your bones are strong as well. Try to include all of those aspects in your fitness routines. If you start working all these aspects, take a step at a time each week you’ll see an improvement and at the end of week four you’ll be well on your way to smash your goals.
