Be FIT, Be FAB!


Fit & Fab – the new word combo that many likes to achieve.  Being fit is no nonsense but being fabulous at the same time is an aspiration for everyone.  Yet the ultimate question is…how does one be FIT and be FAB?

Being fit is not just about dieting and losing weight.  It’s about the determination and discipline to maintain your body in your normal weight and at the same time healthy.  Yes, you have lost weight!  But are you healthy?  You can’t just lose weight and risk your health condition.  Dieting is not about skipping meals so you can avoid the food that makes you fat.  When you skip meals, you also skip important nutrients that your body needs.  And being thin is not being fit.  Slim is not another term for healthy.  To be fit, you must be on top form, well and good healthy.

How to be fit & fab? Follow these simple rules:

Maintain Balance.  In everything you do, never under or over do it.  Moderation is the key.  Even in your diet!  Always take a balance diet.  Just simply follow the food pyramid in eating and watch your calorie intake.

Make exercise a habit.  Exercise is getting healthy from the inside out.  20-30 minute work-out a day will not burn extra calories you have gained.  It will only boost your cardiovascular system.  If you want to shed off extra pounds, extend your work-out time for 15-20 more minutes.  When you reach your ideal weight, exercise will help keep the weight off.  So, exercise daily and make it a habit!

Combining diet and exercise will help you be fit.  If you are fit, from head to toe, then you feel better inside and out.  Thus, you feel good about yourself.  You have the confidence to face the world.  Your radiance glows.  Your energy flows tremendously.  You become vivacious.  And people will see that.  You have now the capacity to affect others.  Hence, fabulous you will be!
