Healthy Living Tips - Skip the Exercise by Skipping the Sugar

If you're like me, you may not be that crazy about sticking to an exercise program, even an easy exercise program. I want to be healthy and I'm not really anti-exercise, it simply means that I find the effort needed to get physically fit is usually very inconvenient at best. With work and families, life is super busy and taking the time to exercise regularly is not necessarily something we can always do.

Believe it or not, I am actually in the best shape of my life and it doesn't have anything to do with exercising at all. By making a few smart choices along the way, you can get physically fit and stay healthy, even without an official exercise program.

One of the easiest healthy living tips is to totally cut sugar out of your life. Although this is impractical to some extent, you can't imagine the health benefits that you can get by following this one health tip.

The easiest way to eat less sugar is to eat according to the glycemic index. This is a list of carbohydrate foods, arranged according to how quickly the sugars contained within them are dumped into our bloodstream. If you stick to the goods on the low end of the glycemic index, you can eat about as much as you want to. You won't be hungry and you won't suffer from the highs and lows caused by eating sugar.

Along with making eating foods the low on the glycemic index, you should be eating a protein at every meal. Vegetables are notoriously low in calories and in order for us to keep our metabolism running strong, we need to eat calories. Protein helps you build and maintain your muscle mass, even if you are losing weight.

Of course, healthy living does involve doing a little bit of exercise along with eating the proper way but you don't need to hit the gym on a regular basis in order to experience these benefits. Simple tasks like gardening and housework also burn calories. Just try to stay as active as possible in your everyday life. The benefits of doing so will be evident whenever you look in the mirror.

Easy Exercises at Home - 5 Ways to Get Effortless Exercise

Would you like to do some easy exercises at home so you could be more physically fit. Most of us would love to be physically fit but just don't have the time and energy for a time-consuming exercise program. If you're looking for easy workout exercises, there are several ways you can get effortless exercise that will help to easy toning and weight loss. Here are five different ways you can do easy exercises at home, without even realizing it.

Easy Toning Exercises as Part of Daily Life

1. Where Do You Park Your Car? - Think about all the trips to the store you make in a week. One easy workout exercise is to park your car as far from work or the store as possible so you get easy toning just from walking. This easy fitness exercise adds up to many calories burned over time.

2. Clean Your House for Easy Exercise - Housecleaning is one of the best overall exercises we can do for a number of different reasons. Dusting, mopping the floor and washing the dishes are great physical activity. Household tasks can burn up to 100 calories in 30 minutes. Besides being easy exercise you can do at home, having a clean house is going to make us comfortable and less stressed. This will go a long way in helping us achieve our fitness goals.

3. Enjoy Your Children - Children are powerhouses of energy and can be a great source of exercise for you. Take your kids to the park where you can walk, run and play basketball with them. Go for nature walks with your kids for easy toning for you and for them. You're teaching your kids the value of being physically fit and spending some valuable fun time with them.

4. Take Dancing Lessons - Dancing can be one of the best workouts around plus it's lots of fun. Lessons are usually available at the local community center or college. Check your local listings and see if you can get in on the fun. This workout will be more strenuous but you won't even recognize it as being exercise. It is also a great way for you to spend some family time and almost everybody will enjoy doing it.

5. Don't Use the Phone or Email - Instead of picking up the phone and calling somebody on the other side of your office or shooting them an email, get up out of your cubicle and walk over there to talk to them. It may seem small but this is good, easy exercise that will add up over the course of time.

Think about all the things you do during the day and see what else can be turned into an easy exercise at home or at work.

Walking Pedometer Motivates Weightloss and Fitness

Need motivation to walk more? It might be as easy as wearing a walking pedometer daily. One study showed that those wearing a pedometer lost about about 1 lb every 10 weeks, even without dieting. Couple wearing a pedometer and a program and the pounds will drop off quickly.

Walking pedometers are small devices, worn on the wrist or clipped to a waistband, that measure the steps you take daily. If you set a goal to help you lose weight, say 10,000 steps a day, you find yourself jogging in place while you brush your teeth or marching while you cook dinner, just to get your steps in. All those steps registered on your fitness pedometer mean extra calories burned.

When you first starting using a pedometer to count your steps, wear it without a goal in mind, just to see what your average number is. On one pathetic day, my steps were only about 3,000 so I realized I had work to do to lose weight. I set my goal at 10,000 steps and have been meeting it on most days.

If you really want to register some steps on the pedometer, try an aerobics class.One class equals about 4,000-5,000 steps. A walk around my block with my dogs measures 2,000 steps.

Here's one fitness pedometer I especially liked and it got great reviews on Amazon. I've found it accurate and easy to use.



Try wearing a pedometer for 30 days and see if it doesn't motivate you to lose weight and increase fitness.
