People who stay healthy despite hectic schedules incorporat­e certain healthy habits into their daily routine. If you’re thinking the habits must be extreme or crazy, you’re absolutely wrong! Fitness that keeps you in shape is sustainabl­e and fun.

Here are six things fit people do consistent­ly to stay in shape:

They develop a healthy sleep cycle: A healthy sleep cycle is just as important as working out. Waking up a little early gives you that extra time to work out, meditate and have a healthy breakfast in peace. It ensures that you begin your day on the right note and also that you are well-rested and have the energy to get through the day.

They don’t skip their breakfast: A healthy breakfast not only fuels your body but is also a great weight management tool. Don’t ever skip breakfast if you’re trying to lose weight.

They stay active outside the gym too: Fit people make it a priority to keep their body active and fit. For example, you’ll find them taking the stairs instead of the elevator. So, try and move as much as possible to keep your body active.

They don’t diet: Yes, you heard it right! They don’t diet. Instead, they incorporat­e healthy food into their diet. You don’t have to cut out food from your life to stay in shape. You only need to make choices that will prove to be healthy in the long run.

They keep healthy food in their home: It is very hard to control yourself from bingeing on junk when it’s right there in front of you. Avoid stocking up on any chips or any of your other favourite junk foods. Instead, invest in healthy foods and snacks such as dry fruits and fox nuts.

They drink plenty of water: Not only does it help them stay full, but it also cuts out any high-calorie drinks from their diet. Water also helps maintain body’s fluid balance, digestion, and improves the transporta­tion of nutrients. You can also try out an app to keep track of your water intake.
