Eating the right FOOD:
Making healthy choices and portion control. There are many programs out there to help you accomplish this. BeachBody uses a color-coded container system for those of us who are very tactile-type learners. WeightWatchers uses a point system. MyFitnessPal is an online food tracking system as well. The IMPORTANT thing is this: We didn’t get overweight by eating healthy foods and already knowing and adhering to proper portion control. These systems make it easy to identify what a proper portion “should” look like. After that, it’s YOUR responsibility to do with it as you desire. Choose a program that works for you, and stick with it until it becomes second nature.
Doing the right EXERCISES:
Find what works best for you. This is not just a physical thing, but also a mental thing. If it’s not fun, not engaging, not challenging, not interesting, you will probably get bored and quit. At BeachBody, we have Coaches who can help guide you towards a workout that best serves your needs and abilities.
WATER:
This is simple. Take your current weight and divide that in half. That’s how many ounces of water (non-alcoholic liquids) you should drink every day to stay fully hydrated. (Example: A person weighing 200 pounds should drink approximately 100 ounces of water daily.)
SLEEP:
Your body needs time to repair, recover, and metabolize your daily nutrition. On average, a middle-aged person needs between 7-8 hours of sleep each day.
