\n<\/strong>I\u2019m a huge fan of FabFitFun. I think the offerings are excellent and the products are fun and fantastic. I wanted to personally be able to offer people something in that vein, which allowed them to get fit and have fun doing it, which is why we thought my app would be a perfect match for the FabFitFun brand.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Variety is key when it comes to exercise. It continually forces the body to adapt to new stimuli, which helps prevent plateauing. And, it helps to prevent boredom by keeping things fresh and different. The ball in particular, is a great tool for developing core strength and fine tuning your stabilizing muscles.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I am lucky to live in a place where the weather is always good. However, for many, I suggest taking advantage of winter sports to stay active and keep fitness fun. Skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating are all great ways to enjoy the season and burn some calories.<\/p>\n
\nThere are so many. I would say nowadays the idea that harder is better is a dangerous mindset. Working smarter is key, not “harder.” Harder can overstress the body, impeding progress and increasing the potential for injury.<\/p>\n
\nThe key with fluctuating weight is finding a way of life that is manageable. People who go up and down tend to take more drastic approaches to health and this leads the pendulum to swing back in the other direction. Ultimately, maintaining weight is simple science. Don\u2019t eat more calories than you burn. Then, simply use common sense with your food choices. Abandon a strict or overly regimented program that makes you feel deprived.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s about eating less of these comfort foods. You can still indulge, just not excessively. And be sure to offset the calorie intake with activity to boost calorie burn.<\/p>\n
\nFind your\u00a0“why.” I always say that work with purpose becomes passion, but work without purpose is punishing. Anything worth having in life doesn\u2019t come for free \u2014 it requires hard work, but having perspective and a detailed goal you are emotionally connected to helps us push through the more difficult times.<\/p>\n
