6 LIFE HACKS FOR FITNESS

Have you ever wondered the reasons for frequent back pain or gain some more inches on your waistline even though you do the daily workout in gyms and eat the right food? The answer lies in your choices of lifestyle. Working out for some limited hours a day for a week as per your program does not allow you to lounge around the rest of the day or eat junk food on a regular basis. In simple term, it is what you do for the remaining hours after coming out of the gym. Given below are some of the changes or life hacks you would need to incorporate in your life to reap health rewards.

RUN YOUR OWN ERRANDS

Do some of your household chores like sweeping floors and clearing tables after meals. In office do get your own coffee and other accessories instead of asking others to do it. This will help your metabolism which in turn would burn calories all day along. Instead of shopping online walk around the mall and get the things you need.

CORRECT YOUR POSTURE

Your posture in sitting and standing should be good or else it will create tension on the back muscles and lead to a protruding stomach. After a long day of work align your head, neck, and shoulders in a vertical line. Sitting on a backward recline up to 110 degrees is fine if the back is supported fully. When you seat on a chair keep the chin parallel to the floor and the spine supported completely. Also, the feet should touch the floor comfortably to avoid spinal issues and backaches.

WALK AROUND MORE

Walk around more like walking to the gym or a general store or keeping your car parked at a distance from your office so as to get a few extra steps in. Instead of driving a long distance to opt for public transport. This will help you to increase metabolic rate and will prevent backache and spinal issues in the long run.

DRINK ENOUGH WATER

Drinking 8 glasses approx. a day which means 2-3 liters will help flush out body fat and keep other parameters constant. This means that if you don’t make any changes to your food habits, lifestyles, and routine exercises then you would still lose weight by drinking enough water. Drinking water will also detoxify your body to a certain extent.

USE A STANDING DESK

Instead of sitting desks opt for a standing one. These desks will have collapsible laptop support which can be put on the desk to chest height and go back to a sitting desktop level with ease, so you are neither standing nor sitting for long hours. You are aware that sitting for a long time cause backaches. Longer sitting also causes muscles of the abdomen and hip loose and flabby. Another advantage of a standing desk is that it will encourage you to walk around more.

SLEEP WELL

We need around 7-8 hours’ sleep average daily to repair our body and heal. For some people six hours of good sleep is sufficient. Now if your sleep is irregular or inadequate then you will add fatty tissues to your muscles and not notice any physical changes that you had worked so hard to achieve.
