Eat Healthy
Get your vegetable challenge on, daily. Vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. Remember you are what you eat.
Flex Your Muscles
After you run or do any other cardiovascular workout, when your muscles are warm, it's important to stretch to prevent muscle tightness. Stretching your hamstrings, the large muscles in the backs of your thighs, not only helps prevent soreness, but it can also increase your flexibility.
Proper Sit Ups
Lie down flat on a flat surface with legs straight and knees at 90 degrees. Feet should be placed in the ground and parallel to the floor. Hands should be kept near the ears or below the chin area. With eyes closed deep breaths should be taken so that the blood circulation will be activated well and mind prepares itself for some physical work. Now, with your belly region and lower body resting completely on the floor, try to move up the upper portion of the body (above the abs region) and do a full crunching motion.
A healthy you , keeps a happy you.
