HOW TO CHOOSE THE SPORT FOR YOU - IN SHAPE

How to choose the fitness and wellness routine that's right for you

Somewhere we must also start. Trivial, but pure truth. All those who have decided to change their habits for the better and live healthier and more active have certainly started in different ways and times.
If you also know that a little exercise could only do you good but you have no idea where to start or you are not sure you have a suitable training plan and diet, you are in the right place at the right time.

Just do what you like!

Are you about to start your workout but don't know how to find something that really makes you have fun? You don't like going to the gym and you find yourself a little uncomfortable among many people and maybe unknown tools? So don't go there! You have many possibilities to train comfortably at home, only with your body or at most with some equipment you have at home , like a chair or even walls. You can try the exercises or the Runtastic Results workout plan, which guarantees you significant fat loss and muscle gain in just 12 weeks. Watch the exercise videos here and download the app .

If you prefer fresh air to sweat, get out! And even if you feel like punching someone, sign up for a martial arts and cardio kick boxing class to free yourself from tension. You may have to try and try again before you find out what it does for. you, but if you don't try you will never know! Any workout you don't do may be the right one.

If it's "quick" or "simple", don't trust it!

Be wary of "lose weight fast", "quick and easy" or "2 minutes a day is enough". I'm not saying that you have to sweat 7 shirts, spit blood and cry in pain for 2 hours every day, but to see results that last over time you have to put in a little effort, not just smile while taking a selfie between exercises. ! Runtastic Results is the right mix of intensity and effectiveness, with workouts lasting between 15 and 45 minutes

Not just vegetables and white meats

Eating healthily doesn't mean getting depressed when mealtime comes. Not forever, at least! If you decide to go on a diet, ask yourself first if you can go on forever. If the answer is yes, then start, but you don't have to do it just because everyone is on paleo, vegan, gluten-free, or the South Beach Diet. For some, the Paleolithic diet is fine, for others it is not. There is no standard diet for everyone and you need to find the right one. each of us, suited to our tastes and habits. In addition, on the internet you can find a lot of recipes, such as these low-carbohydrate zucchini lasagna, to vary your diet a bit. If cooking is not your forte, the words "fast" and "simple" "are great in this case. The ideal way to experiment with new recipes and not feel the only one dieting, is to invite a few friends to dinner and share the healthy dishes, cooked by each of you.

Surround yourself with friends

My dad always told me that the 5 most important words are "Always surround yourself with good friends". It took me a while to understand what "good" means but then I got there: people who help you and are always by your side, in the best and worst moments. You may have a "friend who wants to train with you or maybe you can make new acquaintances at the Spinning or Yoga class. Dating to people who share your goals can help you achieve them more easily and successfully.
Once you decide to change your life, you can't back down. Take the time to decide which types of exercises you prefer and which foods you enjoy eating. It will not be wasted time.
