15 Easy Fitness Tips for 2015

My New Year resolutions always include fitness. I start strong, keep up exercise during the summer when it’s easy, but by the time I get to the end of the year, I’ve stopped altogether. So, the New Year comes, and it’s time for me to get myself up and moving!


Beauty starts with being healthy. Here are 15 Fitness Tips to get you moving in 2015.

1. 15 minutes a day. Move for at least 15 minutes every day. Walk, run, bike, do yoga, whatever it is you like best. Do it for at least 15 minutes every single day.
2. Focus on aerobic exercise for the best workouts. Increasing your heart rate can be done through running, bicycling, dancing or swimming.
3. Find your max heart rate. 220 – (your age)
4. 15 jumping jacks can get your heart pumping!
5. Stretchingcan help you become more flexible.
6. 15 Sun Salutations every day will help you feel amazing! TRUST ME ON THIS ONE! It will not be easy but it is so worth it. *Basic Sun Salutation steps below*
7. Park far away from work, school or the store. That extra walk will give you more exercise.
8. Take the stairs, not the elevator.
9. Cut out soda, sugar and carb heavy snacks.
10. Don’t connect fitness goals to weight loss. For example, don’t say “I want to lose 10 pounds.” Instead, make your goal something you enjoy, like “I want to hike my local state park.” Or “I want to run a 5K in June.”
11. Make it routine. Do the same thing every day for a short burst of time.
12. Skip the gym. You can exercise at home, or outside. And it’s free!
13. Or try the gym, if you want to.  See myspecial Curves/AVON offer.
14. Dress for comfort. Wear sneakers that fit, and loose clothing that lets you move.
15. Keep it fun! If you are not enjoying the exercise, find something you like because if you aren’t having fun you won’t want to keep doing it.
