Whenever you think about fitness and getting into shape, the first thing that strikes in your mind is joining a gym or hiring a personal trainer for a proper workout session. It’s completely right, but not enough to get the guaranteed result in a short period of time. If you have enough time or have planned your schedule in such a way that you can go slow and steady, then there is nothing to worry about. But, if you have limited time and wish to see amazing results, you should burn your energy beyond the boundaries of the gym wall. Along with the regular set of exercises advised by a personal trainer, you should do many other things to achieve your goal.
You should start with your kitchen, which means you should eat healthy as well as a natural diet. Here, a natural diet means no junk food items, packaged food, or aerated drinks. You should always keep one very important point in your mind i.e. fitness includes 70% of your diet and 30% everything else.
Apart from your diet, you should perform the following things to burn your calories and boost your fitness outside the gym.
1. Walk as much as possible
Other than 7-8 hours of sleep at night, you have enough time during the day to keep your body moving. To burn calories, which are one of the important factors for weight loss, you should steal some time from your work and start walking. Other than this, you should go outdoors for walking long distances. Walking in-between nature will provide physical and mental benefits. Besides, exposure to hot or cold elements is great for your immune system and vitamin D levels. The best time for walking is early morning before you have your breakfast.
2. Stretch beyond your limits
A personal trainer might have advised plenty of stretching during workout sessions so you should try doing them even after you are out of the gym. Though not in the same way, you should do as per the demand of the situation and the location. Your muscles or other areas become tight due to long sitting hours or after being inactive for long like continuously staring at your phone. You can stretch your calves when going up the escalator, or stretch hamstring while watching TV or take multiple steps when going upstairs. Rest you can think as per your comfort.
3. Enjoy with some physical activity
Achieving your fitness target does not mean you just have to move on the counts and in the fixed way as advised by a personal trainer. You can burn extra calories with fun and along with your family and friends. You should do physically demanding activities like dancing, playing sports and so on. Take some time out and try different sports or activity every month with your family, friend, or your partner. The overall idea is to stay active; the selection of the activity is your choice.
4. Never make things easy for yourself
You always find easy ways to perform your daily tasks or activities. But, you should understand that there is enough energy in your body to perform physical activities in an efficient manner. You do not need to conserve your energy for later use and try doing things in a hard way. For example, you should carry as many shopping bags as possible in one go or should park your car far away so that you get enough time to walk. Besides, you should stop less when going for the walk in the park or ground. Performing physical is just like exercising.
