I am glad that you are reading this article, it means that you are starting a new life or are down the path of health, you are probably doing some workout sessions already, maybe a diet or even better perhaps you are clean eating already. That’s all great and as someone who desperately wants more people to get on the healthy bandwagon, I want to help out as much as I can by providing you with loads of information. Today I want to share with you 8 hacks that can vastly improve your life.

Getting your daily water consumption – While I have no problem whatsoever getting enough water in my system on a daily basis, I understand there are a lot of people who do have this problem. Well let’s try a potential solution for that problem, shall we? Get a normal water container, preferably one that is good enough for the entire day. All you need to do is place marks on it for when you should reach a certain level, say it is 8 AM, you should have finished up to a certain point on your glass. It’s as simple as that. You can even make it a fun challenge for yourself, if you like to be competitive with yourself especially during workout sessions, this will make the water intake breeze by.

TV being your workout guru – A lot of people like to binge watch and eventually miss up their gym time, hard to blame them as there are a ton of great shows nowadays. Seeing as it’s a detriment to not only your diet but your workout as well, an idea popped into my head. Why not make a game out of it? There are recurring occurrences in a lot of shows, if it’s a sitcom and there is a catch phrase, every time they say it on the show you need to do something such as 20 push-ups. If there is a laugh track played, you do 10 jumping jacks. Keep making it into a unique game for yourself and challenge your workout with this mini game paired with your favorite show. Now just make sure not to snack on unhealthy food while watching so you don’t blow your diet either.

While it’s very tempting to laze around on the couch while watching tv, make your life healthier by adding a workout routine to it.

Gym reading – The start of getting your routine down is tough, especially with the gym. You can miss out some premium workout sessions if you keep skipping gym. The incentive of being healthy and fitter is sometimes lacking for some people, so let’s bring up the ante a little. Download your favorite ebook and let listen to the 1st chapter. From there, stop while you are at the edge of your seat. Now promise yourself to only listen to it when you are at the gym, now you have something to look forward to go when you go to the gym.

Clean eating on the go – Clean eating is pretty tough or so a lot of people think so, however if you are really invested in it, it’s not that hard. There are a lot of hacks that work well with daily lives and they are pretty easy to make. They are so easy to make in fact that I have another article specifically for this topic. In this article I have some friendly hacks that help your diet and keep clean eating fun and easy for you. I highly suggest taking the time to read it.

Caffeine king – A cup of coffee is something that is a non-negotiable item for a lot of people and that is actually alright. However if you want to get your coffee and manage to burn fat more, it’s time to stop adding other stuff into it. The sugar or cream is what brings calories into a relatively low or no calorie drink, and quite frankly you don’t need it. If you must drink coffee I highly suggest trying to consume it in its natural state: black. Of course another option is green tea, which has a ton of antioxidants and is really good for you too, aside from the fact that it is part of the clean eating diet and has a detoxifying effect on the body as well, it’s pretty good with pretty much any meal. Personally I like a nice cup of tea after a grueling workout and when I am just cooling down.

Join the club – I realize there are times that the couch is just too alluring and you make up excuses to avoid your workout session, while that is alright once in awhile but if it is done too often, let’s just say it can lead to some unfortunate events. I realized that it is best to find people with like interests in order to spur you on. Like to run? I am pretty sure there is a running club around your area, with people who know the best places to go and are pretty heavy enthusiasts of running, they will cheer you on and help make sure you finish your workout. Like cross fit? Well let me tell you there are a ton of clubs for that! Clean eating? Well not really sure there are clubs for that but at least there are blogs, *cough, cough, that work very well. When you need people with similar interests, the sky is the limit and it’s easy to find them, the only challenge is that you need to find out what you really enjoy doing for your workout regiment.

Pedometer champion – A pedometer is a powerful tool that can help pretty much any workout or even a non-workout in fact. All you need to do is check your daily walk count and keep upping it or at the very least have a minimum walk count on a daily basis. Imagine if you take an average of 10,000 steps a day, which should be the basic steps in a day, at least in my opinion, you should see an effect by a few months down. This eliminates the need to go to a gym or to do traditional workout sessions in fact, so if you aren’t really into the usual methods of working out, this might be perfect for you. Pair it off with the right diet and you will be fitter than the day before, believe me on that.

Challenge yourself and up your activities by trying something new like wall climbing. Or simply break your lazy boring days by adding a running routine into your habit.

Up your activities – It’s a lot of fun to go out with friends, a lot of the times you end up in the movies with some buttery popcorn or over indulgent sweets, maybe you can do an afternoon run. Instead of hitting a bar with them, why not go to the gym? A dinner date with that special someone? Why not a nice quiet dinner at home, where you can practice the clean eating diet and spend some more time together? An intimate walk down the beach, why not go rock climbing up a mountain without a harness? Ok… the last one was a bad idea but you get the general idea, there are a ton of activities you can do with more people that will make it much more fun than doing it alone, and workout sessions with a ton of friends makes the time go by. All you need to do is think of better activities and find friends who would enjoy doing all that with you.

As you can see these simple hacks will greatly change your diet and workout plans but if you do it right, it shouldn’t be impossible to do all of them. Test them out and see what best fits into your personal preference and run with it. You can enjoy the world a whole lot more when you are healthy, fit and active, trust me on that.
