Top Habits that will Help you to Get in Shape Quickly

Getting fit doesn’t need to be an impossible task. In fact, by following these top tips, you’ll soon find that it’s easier than ever for you to get in shape and stay that way!

Don’t Be Afraid of Pushing Yourself

If you want to really get the most out of your workout then your focus should be on intensity, not duration. Doing high-intensity workouts will get you in shape much faster when compared to a slow or even a moderate exercise regime. If your goal is to get fit then you need to make sure that you are sweaty and absolutely exhausted by the end. If you’re not, then this is a sign that you are not working hard enough.

Focus on the Full Body

Full-body exercises such as squats, burpees and even triceps dips can all help you to get fit in a very short period of time. This is far better than focusing on isolation muscle exercises. As if that wasn’t enough, full-body exercises are also way more functional and they can also help you more in real-life situations.

Plyometrics

If you have ever played sports in school, then you’ll have probably heard of plyometrics in the past. These are great because they help to keep you conditioned and they are also ideal for burning fat and gaining muscle. Consider adding them to your workout if you want to really feel the burn. If that’s not your thing then you might want to check out this battle ropes guide.

Set Goals

Sure, your ultimate goal may be to try and lose some weight, but you need to think short-term too. It doesn’t matter whether you want to be able to do a handstand, or even do 100 push-ups in a row because goals like this encourage you to push harder and the results are very quick to see. Fun fitness goals will also help you to stay motivated, and this is especially the case if you are working out with friends.

Quit Making Excuses

It’s very easy to get into the habit of making excuses. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have access to the gym, or whether you have no equipment to use either because you can easily do a 15-minute workout in the comfort of your own home without needing any of it. Getting a consistent workout is very easy to do and it will help to deliver consistent results too.

Eat Well

The best thing that you can do for your body when working out is to eat well. If you do not make the effort to follow a healthy diet, then this will really impact your results and you may even find that you don’t have enough energy to actually do your workout either. If you want to help yourself then it’s a good idea to try and focus on eating at least five portions of fruit or vegetables a day, with several servings of fish per week. This will drive results, and leave you feeling great!
