How To Transform Yourself From A Couch Potato To A Fitness Freak

There are people who go that extra mile to stay fit and then there are people who crave for an extra hour of sleep every morning. Well, if you belong to the latter category you must realize that the lifestyle you follow is not the best. A closer look into the mirror should make you realize what you are doing to your body. If you are sensible enough you will know that it is time for you to prove to yourself that you are better than this. You need to stop living the life of a couch potato and do stuff that brings out the fitness freak within you. Here’s how you can get started:

 

#1. Get off the couch

The first thing to do to stop being a couch potato is to stop being lazy and give up the habit of lazing around on your sofa. Stop spending hours and hours of your precious time in front of the TV and snacking upon crispy chips and other snacks.

#2. Hit the gym

Do spend a considerable amount of time productively rather than sitting in front of the idiot box. The best way to do this is to join a gym and start training.

#3. Use other forms of exercise

If hitting the gym is not really your thing, you can try some other forms of exercise that can help in weight loss. You could try brisk walking, jogging, sprinting or skipping. Doing these exercise on a regular basis while following a healthy Indian diet can help you reduce a considerable amount of weight.

#4. Try to take lesser breaks

Taking a break from workout has its own advantages but never make the mistake of extending your break for more than two days in a row. Long breaks make it difficult for you to get back to your routine.

#5. Learn some basic exercise

When you find it hard to go to the gym for some reason, you can still do some workout at home. A couple of sets of crunches, push-ups, leg raises and butterfly jumps can be easily done at home. Watching some videos on YouTube can help you learn some basic workout techniques.

#6. Do some Yoga

Yoga is a great way to exercise the mind and body together. It helps you improve your balance and makes you more flexible. It is an effective way to relieve yourself from mental stress.

#7. Mind what you eat

When you are a couch potato, you naturally are a big time foodie. This makes it very difficult to control your craving for snacks and junk food. But face the truth here – these kind of foods are not all that healthy for you. Watch what goes into your mouth and go for some healthy Indian diet. Eat food that helps you feel fuller while reducing the building up of calories.

Becoming a fitness freak might seem a herculean task, but when you make an effort to keep yourself motivated you will soon find that is not all that difficult. Soon you will be on your way to becoming a fitness freak from a couch potato.
