5 Physical Fitness Habits

Drink water all day

Every time you transition from place to place, or between activities, slake your thirst. Take a water bottle with you everywhere.

Prep cook on the weekends

This simple hack can be responsible for a dozen healthy meals. Don’t make one salad, make six at a time, and store the others for easy lunches every day.

Plan a diet cheat day

Eating well six days a week is better than eating badly all week. Pick a day to indulge, and spend the other six days eating the best you can.

Move your body once a day

It doesn’t have to be long. 5 minutes of stretching after you get out of the shower, or a walk around the block after work.

Sweat once a week

Every week, break a sweat at least one time. Do something you enjoy, it’s easier to keep the habit.
