One of the biggest secrets to healthy lifestyle success is to plan ahead. With just a few simple tips you can save time and cut some of the stress in your daily life. Plan for some exercise everyday. Or some kind of sport or physical activity.
If you want to lose some weight - plan to incorporate the 2 vital keys into your daily schedule. Make time for exercise. And stick to eating healthy foods!
Involve your family or loved ones. Enjoy your journey together! Keep meals simple! Foods that keep your family healthy can be fast and easy to prepare. Unless it’s a special occasion, keep cooking simple and involve kids or other family members.
Cook several main dishes when you have more time-like on weekends. Make soups, stews, or casseroles to freeze for the next week. Cook extra for later.
Do some tasks ahead. Washing and trimming vegetables, cooking noodles for a pasta salad or lean ground meat for tacos a few hours, or the day before, can save you lots of time during busy weekday evenings. Saving time in the evening enables you to have more time for exercise or active family fun! Take the dog for a brisk paced walk. Chase your kids around the school playground! Enjoy your extra time together!
Plan fun, and energizing activities for all family members to enjoy a couple times a week! For example, go on a family bike ride, plant a family garden, or pack a picnic meal to eat at the park and afterward go on a family hike. Plan (with your kids) fun activities for the whole family. Make a regular date to walk with friends or neighbors. Join a new activity group, like aerobics or yoga. Sign up for the company softball or basketball team.
Make time for physical activity by walking, jogging or swimming during your lunch hour or take fitness breaks instead of coffee breaks. Do something fun - and give your energy level a boost! Try jumping rope, some good old fashioned calisthenics, riding a stationary bike or other home fitness equipment while the kids are busy playing, at school or sleeping.
Plan ahead. Make active time part of your daily or weekly routine and write it on your calendar! Invite a close friend or family member to join you in the activity. Sharing the experience with someone will make it more enjoyable and you can keep each other motivated.
