Have you ever sat and thought–I can’t lose weight or get fit or change my life because it’s too hard or takes too much time? We’ve all had those thoughts, but did you know, small changes do make a difference! Small changes slowly add up to big changes over time. Here’s a list of some small changes you can implement in your life that will make a huge impact on your journey to live healthier:

 

Cherry Hill personal trainer tip #1.

Get Enough Sleep- Adults optimally need 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night. Most of us are lucky if we get the low end of that range. Proper amounts of sleep help reduce stress, helps keep your heart healthy, reduces inflammation, makes you more alert during the day, bolsters your memory, helps you lose weight, and reduces your risk for depression. You will feel better, think better, and look better with a good night’s sleep.

 

Cherry Hill personal trainer tip #2.

Drink Enough Water- water is essential for the body to function – Do you know over 60% of our body is made up of water? Water is needed to carry out body functions, such as waste removal, and delivery of nutrients and oxygen throughout our body. We lose water every day through urine, bowel movements, perspiration and breathing, thus, water replenishment is essential.

 

Cherry Hill personal trainer tip #3.

Exercise-. The human body is a machine that is designed to be used! It adapts to meet the demands that you put on it. That means that the harder you push it, within reason, the stronger it will get. This is particularly important for your heart, exercise will increase its ability to pump blood to the various parts of the body and allow optimal oxygen exchange.

 

Cherry Hill personal trainer tip #4

Pick Brightly Colored Food- Fruits and vegetables with bright colors are usually high in anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants remove free radicals in our body that damage our cells. Get your fill of colorful fruits/vegetables: White (Bananas, Mushroom), Yellow (Pineapples, Mango), Orange (Orange, Papaya), Red (Apple, Strawberries, Tomatoes, Watermelon), Green (Guava, Avocados,  Cucumber, Lettuce, Celery), Purple/Blue (Blackberries, Eggplant, Prunes).

 

Cherry Hill personal trainer tip #5.

Breathe. Deeply. Proper deep breathing through the abdomen has a myriad of health benefits including improving digestion, the quality of your blood, nervous system function, and the respiratory system. It’s easy to learn correct, slow breathing to enjoy the health benefits. When you feel yourself breathing shallowly or too rapidly, correct your breathing style. It will do wonders for your health as well as your workout!
