Living in the 21st century is not an easy task. Our robotic lifestyle has not spared us enough time to go to gym and work out to stay fit. Is gym the only place where you can achieve the ideal body you aspire or maintain your equilibrium?
Bazinga! No, it is not. Keeping in mind the stressful schedule that you follow every day where there is no time for love or respite, we’re here with 10 alternatives that can be practised in order to stay fit even without joining the gym.
WAKE UP EARLY
Yes, however laborious it in fact sounds, it is a very suitable way to stay fit and healthy. Waking up early at a fixed time not only keeps your mind fresh but also stimulates your metabolism by keeping you lively and enthusiastic for the entire day.
As they say, “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
YOGA FOR LIFE
Regular Yoga or exercise can give you 10 times better results than gym. Though it cannot help you with great muscles, it can give you a tranquil and a steady life. Being an extremely effective hack, it helps you stay as fit as a fiddle.
A FRUIT A DAY KEEPS ALL THE HEALTH CLUBS AWAY
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but any fruit a day can definitely keep you away from gyms! You can see a prominent effect in your health and skin within a month with just one single fruit a day.
SLEEP IS BLISS!
Who doesn’t like to sleep? You can count on nothing but PROPER rest. A proper rest is an amazing stress buster and you wake up with a rejuvenated mind and body. Sleep relaxes your muscles and gives you enough strength to balance the strenuous day ahead.
HEALTH > JUNK. ALWAYS
Our taste buds start to drool at the mention of any famous eating joint. Eating out is an everyday business. But why not limit your junk intake for a day if that makes your life simpler and gym free. Try eating at home 6 days a week and you’ll not only make your mother happy but also your liver will live for long.
WATER IS THE ELIXER OF LIFE
Go above par by drinking more than 3 litres of water a day. And viola! An easiest escape to a healthy life. Moreover, a glass full of water is like a pocketful of sunshine for all.
A GLASS OF JUICE EVERY MORNING
Healthy drinks each morning is not only a great detoxifier but also provides ample energy for the day. A bitter gourd juice would be the best supplement to avoid gym and stay fit.
DO NOT ESCALATE, WALK DOWN THE STAIRS
Nobody has a real urge or time to go down for a walk every day. So why not best utilise your busy life for the same? Use stairs instead of escalator or an elevator. Avoid conveyance for short distances, walk instead.
GREEN TEA OR A GLASS OF WARM WATER AFTER A FATTY MEAL
Green tea works magic for your health. Drinking a glass of warm water or a cup of green tea after an unhealthy diet or a fat full meal can help you with neutralising its effects on your health.
SET GOALS, STAY AIMED AND BE HAPPY
Prescribed norms can only be avoided when you have your own set of goals. Set rules and to-dos for yourself every day and make sure you follow them rigorously. It will inevitably keep you happy and ecstatic for the entire day. As they say ‘laughter is the best medicine.’
So, fellas, eat healthy, sleep shamelessly, laugh tirelessly and you’re good to go gym-less.
