On Staying Fit & Active

Staying fit and active might be one of the hardest things for people to do these days- unless you're a three years old, have the metabolism of one, or are a professional athlete :) But being healthy and being fit are two different things, depending on what you think of it. Health is something that you can achieve by eating right, getting enough sleep, AND staying fit and active. Staying fit is a little different. That's something you can't expect to get off a diet! Being fit means that your body is in shape, not just eating all the right things, although that's part of becoming fit. When you are fit, that means that your body is at the normal standards of bodily function- you go to the gym, or go running and biking, you feel like you are starting to get abs under that bit of flab on your stomach, and you feel GOOD about yourself! But beware! Do NOT over work your body. This could lead to potentially drastic consequences. Staying hydrated properly is also needed. Water is great, Gatorade, Propel, and other sports drinks are fine too. Based on rumors I have heard, I would NOT go with Muscle Milk, but they are rumors that I haven't researched. VitaCoco tastes a little weird, but I find that it definitely keeps me hydrated! :)
