Lara Hudson, a professional Pilates instructor, has identified 10 habits of people who take care of their health and keep the body in good shape. “When it comes to why I get up at five in the morning and go for a run,” Lara shares, “why I go to yoga, and not to lunch, why I always find time to work on myself, I don’t think about it. … I just do it."

I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the habits of people in good physical shape in order to become the best version of yourself.

1. They know that movement is life

Healthy body people understand how important movement is. Exercise can exhaust you, but if your slogan is "Do it or give it up," then you will always do it.

Rest assured that the discomfort caused by a grueling workout will yield excellent results in the future. Don't give up and remember how important it is to force yourself to be constantly on the move.

2. They plan their training

People in good physical shape leave nothing to chance. They plan their workouts the same way they plan any important meeting. If for some reason they miss at least one workout, they will definitely be able to make up for it. Life is unpredictable, but your training regimen doesn't have to be.

Planning is the key to making exercise a habit.

And as soon as something becomes a habit, things are easier. No matter how busy you are, you always have the opportunity to carve out time for at least a short workout.

3. They are persistent in character

People in good physical shape have developed self-discipline. They are future-oriented and understand that results do not come overnight, they must constantly and consistently go towards the intended goal.

Fortitude means they work hard even when the training target looms in the distance.

4. They are true to their habits

Many people, due to their inconstancy, cannot accustom themselves to train regularly, very often they do not finish training or jump from one sport to another without doing one properly. And then they wonder why they did not achieve the planned results. Those who keep in good shape always bring the workout to the end, even if it didn't work out at first.

5. They don't need to brag

People who are in good physical shape do not need praise from others. They don't brag about how many pounds they lost or how many push-ups they can do.

Excellent health, toned skin, healthy body and vigorous mood are a worthy reward for hard and persistent work on oneself.

6. They know that it is important to train not only the body, but also the mind

The connection between mind and body is very strong. Like Olympic athletes, physically fit people review their training and try to improve it every day.

Do you admire the fit people you see in the gym? They look like this because they don't mindlessly train.

7. They rise with the sun

Most physically fit people exercise in the morning. Waking up early also helps them focus on other goals, succeed in daily tasks, and burn more calories.

When you stand with the sun, you witness the birth of a new day, and this can fill you with energy and inspiration.

8. They love food

Healthy people never go on diets. They eat well, avoiding food that could harm their body. They deal with stress through exercise, rather than seize it.

Healthy people enjoy eating, realizing that food is a precious gift for body and soul.

9. They don't forget the importance of getting adequate sleep

Lack of sleep provokes a slowdown in metabolism, worsens mood and the ability to think clearly.

During physical exercise, people “burn off” the stress and negative emotions that so often prevent many people from falling asleep. If a healthy person has had a hard day, then he will take a hot bath or work in order to relieve stress. Fit people understand that rest is as important as exercise.

10. They pamper themselves

They can afford to party and overeat on special occasions. Life is boring without a little frills! But people in good shape have one thing:

Instead of rewarding themselves with food for their efforts, healthy people reward themselves with experiences.

How about a massage or a weekend getaway? This is a worthy reward for hard work on weekdays. Women can indulge in a trip to a beauty salon instead of buying themselves ice cream.

Indulge in experiences that will energize you, improve your health, and boost your self-confidence.
