Don’t forget to stay hydrated during the exercises to avoid muscle spasms.
Eat right
Eating right foods in right manner is necessary for your fitness journey. If possible try to consume food more times than normal but keep the portion minimum. For example, you can have food six times daily instead of the normal three but consume small amount of food each time. Add more fruits and vegetables and stick to lean meats and seafood.
Track your calorie intake
It is always good to be aware your calorie intake in each meal. If you are not able do that by yourself, visit a walk-in-clinic to get the proper guidance regarding the required calorie you body may need every day to stay fit.
Sleep well
Getting good sleep daily is important for fitness success. Six to eight hours of sleep will help you a lot. You can take a short nap before exercise if feeling tired, but make sure that it is not more than 30 minutes.
Strong determination
Daily visit to the pharmacy or hospital is not the way to live your life. You have to be determined to become fit to avoid health issues and live a happy and confident life.
