How to Get More Energy!






Do you constantly feel tired? Try these healthy tips as well as the exercise tips to get more energy!

The first thing you want to do is eat healthier snacks if you are not at this time. Skip the fatty potato chips, candy, cake, etc., and have cut up vegetables and fruit ready when you are craving a snack.

Make sure you are getting enough calcium, vitamins and minerals each day. Start reading food labels so you know how much you are getting and if it is enough.

Follow the food pyramid! If you haven’t looked at it lately, it has changed. It could help you to print a food pyramid you find online and hang it up by your refrigerator.

Get moving around! Park further from the grocery store so you have to walk further as well as your employment parking lot, take the stairs instead of the elevator and other minor things to get more daily physical movement.

Dance, fast-pace walk each day, mix it up with a bicycle ride, any exercise equipment you may have, yoga, kickboxing, etc.! Got a dog? Take your dog for a walk or jog--he/she will love you for it and you will be doing good by your beloved best friend as well. Make your exercise routine fun by changing it around.

When working out listen to music. Most people work out harder if they are listening to music that they love.

Join causes that are important to you. You can join a walk for breast cancer, run for arthritis, etc. Raise money while exercising and doing good for others!

You can join a weight loss contest like The Biggest Loser. Get Downsized Weight Loss Contest has been taking try outs for people who want to get into shape. Every Saturday you can try out for this amazing contest. Real people just like you that need to lose 80 lbs or more.

With the above tips---your energy will soar!

  1. I'm going grocery shopping and starting out a new way of eating tomorrow! Thank you for this information. I needed this to get inspired.

    Looking into the Get Downsized Weight Loss Contest, too.

  2. I agree with Keri. I'm going to start eating like this. Only have a 'bad' food as a treat once in awhile. Although I've switched over to healthy foods a few years ago and you start to crave only the healthy foods.

    Time try out next Saturday for the contest!
