The key steps to lose those extra pounds gained over the holiday.
Now that Passover is over, for many of us our clothes don’t fit as they did just a few days ago. What can we do? And more importantly, how can we bring some permanence to our health and fitness and not go through this process every single year?
The first step in this process is to concentrate on three main areas: exercise, proper eating, and stress reduction. Exercise should consist of a balanced program of aerobics 4-5 times per week, resistance training 2-3 times per week and stretching on a daily basis. A good nutritious food plan must include vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean proteins and just as important – portion control. Manage your stress levels with a combination of practical problem solving together with relaxation techniques. Your exercise routine is another key ingredient in reducing stress.
How can we make the necessary changes and keep our resolutions?
Now that the holidays are behind us and we have beseeched the Almighty to watch over our health, we need to do our part and make an effort to succeed. The best protection that we can give ourselves is to eat right, exercise, reduce stress and ask the Almighty for help.
