Top 6 Exercise Routine Tips for a Healthier Lifestyle

• Begin with small steps, and engage in activities you enjoy: A successful physical activity program has to be safe and effective, fit within your daily schedule and be realistic.

• Prioritize regular physical activity: In order to make physical activity a priority, schedule time in your calendar. Putting your workouts on your calendar gives them importance and permanence akin to a doctor's appointment or a work assignment.

• Join a group or find a partner: Socializing with a workout partner, joining a group fitness class or finding a community-based exercise program is a great way to make it more fun.

• Set smart goals and track your progress: Setting both short-term and long-term goals can help you make consistent progress.

• Align your plan with your values: You may have a goal of losing a certain amount of weight, but it’s important to explore why this is important to you. This is often referred to as "finding your why."

• Stay positive and be patient: Developing an exercise habit takes time and consistent effort, but also patience and grace with yourself.

4 Drinks for strong bones that are better than supplements

• Milk: Milk has been given to kids and adults for its healthy fats and high calcium content, which is vital for bone health.

• Green Smoothies: Leafy greens are naturally loaded with essential nutrients like antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They can naturally induce bone-strengthening minerals like calcium, which helps in the absorption of vitamin D and improves bone health.

• Bone Broth: Preparing bone broth with mutton or lamb legs can also help boost immunity and improve bone health. This is because of the collagen and minerals that help improve bone density.

• Tomato Juice: Consuming tomato juice in moderate quantities can also help in improved bone health, this is because of its high lycopene content, which is an essential antioxidant that reduces bone loss.

4 Ways To Kick a Food Delivery Habit

• Be mindful of what you are ordering: We’re fans of mindful eating — and that starts with considering what you plan on ordering through the food delivery app. You want to gauge your hunger before you order, so that you’re not potentially over ordering.

• Set a budget: Many food delivery apps have a delivery fee and then, once you factor in a tip and how much a restaurant marks up its food, you can potentially spend a lot on a single meal. And if you do this frequently, it can become a costly habit. Have an amount that you’re willing to spend each month.

• Stock up on easy-to-prepare meals: You’ll be less likely to reach for your phone if you have easy-to-prepare meals at home. So, consider this when doing your grocery shopping: What can you buy ahead of time that will be quick and easy to make?

• Hide or delete food delivery apps: It’s easy to just click on those apps when you’re hangry and just want food now. So, it may be a good idea to remove the temptation by hiding or deleting any food delivery apps from your phone.

5 key arm exercises for a brutal arm day routine

• Flat dumbbell chest press: Lay flat on a bench, your knees bent, pushing your feet into the floor. Press a pair of dumbbells into the air, locking out your elbows. Lower the bells slowly until they touch the outside of your chest, keep your elbows at 45 degree angle, pause here before explosively pressing back up. Repeat.

• Incline dumbbell bench press: Lay on a bench set at a 30-45 degree angle, holding two dumbbells locked out above your chest, slowly lower both bells over 2-4 seconds, keeping your elbows at a slight angle to your torso, until both dumbbells touch your chest, explosively press the bells back to full lockout and repeat.

• Dumbbell skull crushers: Gripping the dumbbells, extend your arms straight up. Keeping your elbows fixed and tucked in, slowly lower the bar until it is about an inch from your forehead. Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position without locking your elbows.

• Triceps rope pushdown: Attach a rope handle to the high pulley of a cable station. Bend your arms and grab the bar with a neutral grip, palms facing inwards, your hands shoulder-width apart. Tuck your upper arms next to your sides. Without moving your upper arms, push the rope down until your elbows are locked and split the rope. Slowly return to the starting position.

• Floor press: Lay flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Press the weights above you, locking out your elbows. Lower them slowly until your upper arms are resting on the floor at a 45 degree angle to your body, pause here before explosively pressing back up.
