I recently decided to join the Stay Fit Team to improve my physical health. This team focuses on simple and effective techniques to help members get healthier through exercise, diet, and changing habits. Here’s my journey and the techniques I’ve learned.

Exercise

Starting Small: I had to begin with simple exercises like walking and stretching. I didn't try to over do in the first place. Me Walking 10 to 15 minutes per day was all it took to make a difference in my life. This was easy and plausible to start with.

Discovering Pleasurable Activities: I started dancing, which I liked. Overall, the exercise became something enjoyable for me, so I started not to mind it. I always have in mind that If someone having fun doing something, it's not a task.

Scheduling: I allocated the time for exercises, usually in the morning before work. With a set time, I was able to stick to my routine and made it a habit.

Group Activities: In this team, joining in exercising with others on the Stay Fit Team was a good motivator. We would have group workouts and sporting events. It was fun and kept me committed.

Mixing It Up: So, to make it at least somewhat interesting, I mixed up the workout types. Some days I would do cardio, then strength on other days, and sometimes yoga. The variety kept my interest level high since it also helped to fettle different body parts.

Diet

Fruits and vegetables: I started to eat a lot and different types of fruits and vegetables than usual, because it will really help me to have a good health.I know fully well that Fruits is known to be rich in vitamins and minerals,so this keep me forward in consuming more fruits and vegetables. My purpose was also to try and include varieties of shining colors within my meals, like a salad that contained tomatoes, carrots, and spinach.

Water Intake: Much water had to be taken in. I consumed at least 8 glasses a day. This kept me hydrated, and it often worked for me when I needed to control my food intake so I would not eat too much.

Consuming Less Sugar: I minimized the consumption of sweet drinks and snacks. Instead, I used to have fruits and nuts. In this way, I managed to stay away from diabetes and other possible health issues associated with it.

Eating on Time: Never did I skip any meal, let alone breakfast. Regular consumption of food maintained my energy level and didn't drive me to overeating at any part of the day.

Counting Portions: I kept track of my portions. Anything in too much quantity is too much, even healthy food. One thing that helped was to eat on smaller plates.

Shifting Habits

Setting Realistic Goals: I tried setting minor goals that would be achievable. For instance, at one time, my goal was to walk for 10 minutes each day in a week. Once the week has passed, increasing that time wasn't as difficult anymore. This way, my goals are achievable, and I would not get discouraged.

Monitor progress: I kept an activity record of things done and food consumed. This kept me apprised of where I was and motivated me. When I looked at my record,I am encouraged by how far I had come.

Adequate Sleep: However, I have been always trying to get atleast 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Why,??? Because a good night's sleep helped us to achieve energy levels and alertness for the day.

Stress Reduction: I found ways of unwinding and stress reduction-reading a book, music, meditation. Further, there were several activities organized by the Stay Fit Team in terms of yoga and mindfulness sessions for stress relief.

Being Consistent: It was all about consistency. Even if I missed one day, I just never gave up. The next day would start afresh. And that persistence helped me build long-lasting habits.

Benefits of Joining the Stay Fit Team

Access to Resources: It gave further resources, such as workout plans, healthy diets, and health workshop activities. These resources provided me with the opportunity to learn more about how to be healthy.Group workouts, sports events, and challenges on health matters were some of the fun activities. Well, that made it pretty enjoyable to stay fit.

Community: My membership to the Stay Fit Team put me into a community. I got to know new people with whom I shared certain goals and interests. In fact, it was motivating.

Improved Health: By the techniques followed and team activities, I improved my health physically. I grew more energetic, lost some weight, and also reduced risks of health problems.
