How to Act Fit

10 Easy Ways to Act Fit

Act Fit means moving with the intention to meet your fitness goals.

1st YOU SHOULD have fitness goal (if you don’t see the post on goal setting). Without a fitness goal YOU HAVE NO CONTROL of how your body changes. 

Having said that.. onto the 10 easy ways to Act Fit!

1) Move with the intention of meeting your goals

         a) if you want to loose weight, get lean, or stay fit:  sweat, lift, jump

         b) if you want to be Ms/Mr Chubs: sit, lay, be still

2) Every morning do a dynamic warm-up.

3) Have Get Fit Fits (see post) aka Move when you can even if it’s just for 60seconds

4) Play: Bowl, Kayak, go to the Batting Cages, Swing, Hop Skip Jump, have fun moving everyday

5) Go for the Bonus Round: Take the steps, park a little further from the door, get off the bus a stop earlier… get the picture?

6) Pick things up and lift them over your head

7) Dance

8) Sweat Everyday for at least 15 minutes (This means ACTIVE sweat as in you caused it not the weather)

9) Train your body they way it was meant to move and use your body as resistance (so no more sitting on machines at the gym)

10) Thank your body- It does AMAZING things for your everyday and don’t you forget it.

Celebrate that you can walk, jump, skip, hop and swivel your hips.

Ok so that’s it… well not exactly,  I know it’s a lot. So pick 1 of these principals and work at it for 2 weeks. I’d start with number 1 and then go for number 8….

I’ll talk more about Acting Fit on video posts.

Just remember you have the choice of what to do with your body and how your body looks, if you want to be more tone… then act like it!

Best,

Whitnee
