Answer 1:

First of all, being fit should not be a fad. So…if you want to be healthy, you have to change your life style.

TO KEEP FIT:

1. Exercise 3-4 times a week consisting of aerobic exercises (aerobic means constant motion of the body such as walking, running, bicycling, dance classes, etc.) and anaerobic exercises (anaerobic means short burst of energy such as strength training). Try to keep your workout below 1 hour, so for instance, run for 30 minutes and then, workout with weights for another 30 minutes (alternate upper and lower body strenth training on different days to ensure you get plent of rest). For instance, on Monday, after your run, you can perform strenght training exercises for (upper body parts) the chest, back, arms and abs. For Tuesday, after your bike ride, you can perform strength training for (lower body parts) your legs. For Wednesday, you’ll have to rest and on Thursday, you’ll have to go through the cycle again.

If your goal is to add muscles and power, lift heavy with low repitition (4-6). If your goal is overall fitness without adding bulk, lift medium weights with medium repititions (8-12). I don’t believe in low weights (5 lbs. dumbbell) and high repititions (20-30); you’re just wasting your time and you’re body and health will never improved. Don’t be afraid to lift some weights and challenged yourself. You’re body won’t transform unless you challenge it.

2. Diet is key to keeping fit. Ensure you eat a proper balanced diet. Plenty of vegetables, complex carbohydrates (eat complex carbs to make you full longer and avoid any insulin surge such as whole grain bread, brown rice, sweet potatoes, corn, etc.) and lean meats (protein is important since every part of our body including our skin, hair, nails are made of protein).
