Health Tip of the Week 46-50:
General Fitness Tips for Better Health
.
46. Use a foam roller
Foam roll to relieve tight muscles and achy joints. Foam rollers are affordable and easy to use;
aim for about three times a week for best results.

47. Read others’ success stories as motivation
Learning about others’ success can encourage you to persevere and believe in your own
success.

48. Do HIIT
Ramp up the intensity on your workouts to rev up your metabolism and break through a
plateau. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts will give you a boost.

49. Track your calories
People have the tendency to underestimate the calories they consume. Tracking your calories
for a week or two can be helpful in getting an honest assessment of how many calories you’re
eating per day. Don’t skip anything – you’ll only hurt yourself by not being honest.

50. Make movement part of your life
Think of exercise and movement as an all day thing. Just because you got in a 45-minute
workout in the morning doesn’t mean you should sit on the couch the rest of the day.

                                                                                       17
