Winter is a great time of year if you look at it from a father or mother's point of view because you can spend some quality hours with your family doing different healthy activities. With time off in the winter due to holidays at schools, colleges and work, you can relax and enjoy the entire time with your family and engage in healthy activities. During the rest of the year you are busy with your work and hence, spending time with family becomes difficult with the possible exception of the summer break. But during the winter there is plenty of vacation to take and scheduled days off including Thanksgiving week along with Christmas Break to allow you to engage in fun and healthy events so that everyone can enjoy themselves. This post will help you to come up with different solutions for the winter breaks. .

Go on a holiday
Perhaps there is no better way to spend time with your family than holidaying in an exotic place that is full of daily activities. You can visit places that give you the opportunity or the chance to be involved in fun and thrilling activities as a whole. For instance, you can try out mountaineering, paragliding, kayaking, rafting , camping and other such activities that you may not have done before. There are guides and trainers in these holiday hot spots that will help you get started.

Go on a family movie date
It is during the holiday season when good movies get released. You can all plan for a movie date together and have a great time watching a family fun movie on the big screen. Believe it or not, this can give others, some serious family goals. Going to a movie with your kids, parents and other relatives is like a mini picnic. In case, the weather is too cold outside, you can all watch your favorite movie right at your inside your home by ordering from Hulu or Netflix.

Go sledding
It is winter time, and you simply cannot miss out the thrilling action of sledding. This is something that will bind the whole family together and this is always a fun time with the kids. But while you are out there enjoying the snow and having a great time, you shouldn’t forget to maintain the safety measures by wearing helmets and all other safety requirements required for protected sledding.

Play in the snow with the kids
If you are lucky enough to witness snowfall where you are located, then you cannot ignore playing in the snow with your kids. When you get involved in playing with your kids in the snow, everyone get's outdoors and becomes active. It's important to involve yourself in healthy activities in the winter because we tend to slow down and become less active. We want you to enjoy their time and keep yourself moving. We encourage you to go online and search for key words such as "How to build a Snowman" or "Building an Igloo". Your kids will love it!

These are just a few fun activities you can get involved in along with your family members during the winter. The prime motive is to spend quality time with family while engaging in healthy activities and create beautiful memories that can be cherished for years to come.

​45 percent of New Year resolutions are about individuals deciding to live a healthy lifestyle and I'm sure yours is no different. It doesn't matter if it's about quitting smoking; getting into a fitness program, or simply making healthy lifestyle changes - every New Year's Resolution requires a strong commitment and desire to succeed.

We find that sticking with any resolution becomes a tad difficult as the year proceeds. In fact, it has been discovered that barely 50 percent of the individuals who had made a resolution at the beginning of the year stick with it by mid-year. And by the time the year comes to an end, only a mere 35 percent were able to accomplish their New Year goals. In this article we hope you find something that will better your chances.
​
So, it’s unsurprising if you feel a little skeptical whether you’d be able to succeed with your healthy eating resolutions – I understand, I’ve been there, and have figured out a way to stay on track with my goals. In this article, I’d be sharing those nuggets with you.

Reduce sugar intake
The trick here isn’t to eliminate sugar from your meals all at once – which could lead to symptoms of deprivation – but rather to gradually cut back on the amount of sugar intake per meal. 

My hack was to substitute refined sugar with organic sweeteners so instead of using the table sugar I’d replace with sativa. Also, I consciously created an environment at home that makes it impossible to use sugar – well, I did that by just not having them in the house. Taking all the candy out of the house was a tough decision but it eliminated temptation and helped out the entire household to reduce sugar intake. 

Figure out a way to eat more veggies in a day
Green vegetables as you know are a rich source of vital minerals and vitamins, but somehow, we seem not to eat enough of it. So one of your goals for a healthy eating is figuring out ways to add this essential element into your meals.

One way to improve on your vegetable servings is through piling some during breakfast; here’s what I do, I garnish my omelet eggs with green vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, etc. however, be sure always to keep prepped veggies handy.

Also, choose your favorite vegetable to snack on throughout the day. I love Celery, Olives and raw Carrots so having a constant supply of cut up celery in a bowl for when you get hungry will refuel your body in a healthy way. 

Snack on fruits
Swap your usual high-calorie snack for a healthy bite of fruits. Fruits are a power-house of several helpful nutrients required by the body. They are also a rich source of anti-oxidants that minimizes the effects of free radicals in the body.

One way to eat more fruit servings in a day is to make it part of your daily diet, say eating one during lunch and having one as your in-between meal snack.

Decide to cut down on meat
Sure, meats are a rich source of protein, however, due to its high cholesterol content you’d be increasing the level of LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) in your bloodstream, thereby increasing the odds of a cardiovascular disease.

So, instead of having meat every day, substitute with other heart-friendly protein sources like soy, fish, and if you must have meat go for lean meat.

Incorporate whole grains into your meals
Whole grains have a high fiber content in addition to the numerous minerals which are essential in preventing heart diseases, type-2 diabetes, and in fighting against cancerous cells.
​
Some of the fiber-rich whole grains you can add to your diet include Quinoa, whole-wheat, brown rice, Millet, etc.
So there you have it. Following the tips listed above will ensure you’re able to stick with your healthy eating resolutions, since you aren’t starving yourself, nor on a diet but just swapping one unhealthy food for a healthy one.

See the end from the beginning
I purposely put this at the top spot – the truth is it was mind shifting for me realizing that I can achieve my fitness goals by visualizing how I want my body to turn out even before I set out to sign up with any workout program. This will look different for everyone but it's important to do.

I envisioned how toned I want my arms and legs to be; I felt the emotions coursing through my system when I’ve achieved my goals; I visualized how fit I’d be, the things I’d be able to do and how confident this is going to make me feel. I can’t explain it, but doing this conditioned my mind to go after it; even when I don’t feel like going out, somehow I just did.

So, to be successful with your New Year fitness goals visualize what result you’d get if you consistently show up.

Develop a plan
It’s not enough to just visualize and dream it. You must figure out a way to move from where you’re now to where you want to be. While making this plan, consider the days that would be most convenient for you – remember you’re trying to eliminate as many roadblocks as you can.

Here’s why you need a plan, it provides you with the tactical, actionable processes you need. You’d know that you have to wake up, and be in the gym at 5.00 AM on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday every week, so you’re not just winging it but deliberate, intentional and strategic.

If you are not a morning person, get your routine set up for the evening. Work out a schedule that is possible and something that fits your lifestyle. Some of us have kids to get ready for school and can't commit to the mornings while others are early risers already. Make a plan that you know you can keep.
 
Create a Social circle around your workout regime
Getting support is one of my favorite approaches, because I know my friend is counting on me to show up and this means I have extra motivation to jump out of bed and do what needs to be done. I deliberately signed up in a group of four members and a trainer – this means I’m accountable to myself, to other members of the group and to our trainer. I just couldn’t give up on them. People just naturally do better in a team setting.

So, you’ve got to do the same, seek out individuals on the same journey as you, and get them to agree to look out for each other. And while at it - have fun.

Show up even when you don’t feel like it
Days will come when you will feel like not doing anything – in those moments just show up. Remember you have a lot of people rooting for you, so don’t disappoint them. Don’t be the one that didn’t show up and let others down.

Honestly, it’s not going to be easy but get up, and show up.

Commit to eating healthy
Here’s where some many of us make mistakes, by neglecting to nourish the body with the vital nutrients it needs to heal and repair itself. If you are taking in more calories than you are burning up you can still gain weight even though you are exercising.

During workouts, there are micro tears, wounds, and strain on the body, the food you eat provides the body with those vital nutrients it needs to repair the torn tissues. Also, remember to have sufficient rest, you’d feel rejuvenated and ready to go again.

So there you have it, do you desire to make your New Year fitness goals a reality? Then follow the points listed here. Happy New Year and we wish you a happy and healthy 2018. 

It’s a New Year, time to make new resolutions to strive for in 2018. Just like every one of us, you’ve resolved to make some changes to your lifestyle; perhaps your goal is to lose weight, eat healthier meals and exercise to become more trimmed.
​
However, research has shown that most people lose steam after one to two months of making their resolution. I believe that’s why you’re here; to learn tips that will help you make long-lasting changes right?

In this post, I’ll be sharing with you some nuggets you can implement to stay on track with your weight loss goals:

Set a goal
Just saying you want to lose weight doesn’t cut it – it’s broad and ubiquitous – and you’re likely to tire out faster than you can imagine. So, instead set a specific, measurable, attainable, reliable and timely goal – simply put set a SMART goal.

Why do you need to do this?

Having a clear goal, you aim to achieve primes your brain to try to overcome whatever challenge to get it done. Now, you can say, I’m going to lose 10 pounds in the next five weeks – now that’s a specific goal with a timeline. Take your goals in steps, if you need to lose 20 pounds set up two goals to help you feel like you've accomplished something after reaching the first. 

Plan out your strategy
Now, you have your goals set; you need to figure out how to accomplish it. That’s where planning comes in – there’re several moving parts to making this a flexible plan; though I believe it doesn’t have to be anything fanciful.

Consider how much time you can conveniently commit to exercise; decide to work into your routine the habit of prepping the meals you’ll need for the week way ahead of time.

Ticking off on your exercise time and preparing your meals ahead of time does two things for you – your workout routine is less likely to be disrupted; secondly, you’d have healthy food handy when you need it. Go online and get some recipes that are healthy and low in calories or visit our Zen Bodi Recipes page for great food that is healthy. 
 
Build a support group
The fact of the matter is, you’re more likely to stick to your weight loss plan if you have someone you’re accountable to; also you’re more likely to hit the gym or take a walk if you know a friend is waiting for you.

There’re several ways you can get the social support; tell a friend who shares the same fitness goals with you; join weight loss support groups, or leverage the social media. Putting yourself out there means you just have to show up every day to achieve your goals.

Visualize what success means to you
How would you feel when you hit your fitness goals? Imagine the trimmer, slimmer, healthy body you’d have; feel the pride and confidence in every step you take when you’ve achieved your goals. Visualize in details your success as much as you can and try to spend a few minutes each day relishing this new body.

The aim of this is to prime you mentally to want to achieve your goals.

Give yourself small treats after hitting a milestone
Remember to reward yourself whenever you attain a milestone. During your planning stage, you would have divided your goals into tiny chunks that make it easy to achieve.

So let’s take, for instance, your goal is to lose 10 pounds in five weeks. You can divide the goals into losing 2 pounds in a week; hence once you hit your target, you can decide to have a pedicure/manicure, a massage or whatever reward you'd choose – this little treat keeps you motivated to continue working at your goal.

In conclusion
The trick in sticking to your weight lose New year resolution is in making small incremental changes that can be seamlessly integrated into your lifestyle. I hope these tips help you in making those minor changes that are vital to attaining your goal.

Drink water, plenty of it
If in 2017 you didn’t take this routine serious as part of your beauty regimen then it’s time to include it. You must take at least 6 to 8 glasses of clean water. The reason is simple – the human body is made up of about 70 percent water, and your skin cells need to be adequately hydrated to function properly. This is where your skin care should start - water and lots of it.

You’re body is constantly losing water either through sweating, urinating and evaporation, so it’s vital you replenish, either by drinking lots of water and applying moisturizer; this leads to a younger-looking, healthier, and radiant skin. This is a must to have healthy and glowing looking skin.

As the saying goes - You are what you Eat
Your skin is a clear reflection of what you eat so implementing a healthy diet in 2018 is critical to obtaining healthy skin. If your diet consists of healthy meals with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole foods, it shows on your skin. Since these foods are rich in nutrients required by your skin to repair, and produce new cells.

Vitamin C, B, and E all play an active role in the production of collagen, maintaining skin elasticity and also protect the skin against the sun rays. Using creams with these vitamins will help your skin look and feel healthy.

Exercise, as part of your beauty routine
You might not believe it, but regular exercise helps promote healthy, glowing and unblemished skin. During workouts, the body metabolism is increased which leads to the excretion of waste products and toxins hence detoxifying your body.

It also improves the blood circulation around the skin surface, thereby efficiently transporting the essential nutrients and oxygen required by the skin cells.
 
Don’t forget your sunscreen
Sunscreen is one of the under-utilized beauty products; well expect when one is heading out to the beach. But, if you desire a clear skin in 2018, you must make it an integral part of your beauty repertoire.

So apply the sunscreen whenever you’re going outside – especially if you’d be spending an extended amount of time under the sun. The UV rays from the sun are one primary cause of skin aging, wrinkles, and spots; so you see why you need the sunscreen?

 Wash off the makeup before hitting the bed
This I believe is one of the must-do routines for anyone who desires a clear, glowing skin. The problem is most females don’t know how to cleanse their face correctly.

Thankfully, there are makeup cleansers, and moisturizer one can use to do this. Or if you’re more of a home remedy kind of person, here’s a simple homemade routine you can employ.

Get a riped banana and scoop out the inner pulp, mix with milk and blend until it becomes a puree. Pour the mixture into a container and store. To use, simply apply on your face and rub in on your face in a circulation motion. Leave for about twenty minutes and wash off.
​
So there you have it, follow these tips for a healthy glowing skin in 2018.

Focus on results: The winter months always have a way to put a damper when it comes to your fitness goals. However, over the years I have come to realize that focusing on the outcomes of the workout sessions helps to keep the motivation going, even during the coldest days.

So I recommend the same for you – what’s your fitness goals – is it to get a hot trimmed body? Is it to shed off those extra pounds around the waist? I bet you that you are always reminding yourself why you’re doing this in the first place and this type of attitude will keep the fire burning even while the cold wind is blowing.

Keep a positive mindset: Nothing beats looking at the brighter side of life which can be done while engaged in a workout. Sure, the weather can get snowy and the temperature hitting sub-zero; however, this is the best time to lose weight so don't relax this winter, get more active.

During cold seasons, your metabolism speeds up to generate more heat hence compensating for the fall in environmental temperature. So, get your kits on and hit the gym.

Be accountable to someone: Now that you’d rather snuggle up in your warm bed than hit the gym, it’s time to get set up with someone who can help keep you accountable. This works the opposite way as well and is a great strategy to keep you and a friend / loved one motivated.

This is how it works: Knowing that you have an agreement with a friend to meet up with and workout together will give you the extra boost to get up and head out for the exercise. You don’t want to be the one breaking pacts, right?

Spread your workout within the day: There’s no reason why you shouldn’t work out, even if your job is bogging you down with projects and busy work. Schedule small intervals throughout the day when you can exercise, for instance, you can work in a ten-minutes stretching session in your day, a twenty minutes brisk walk session during a break, and decide to use the stairs in the morning and after work. Always look for the bathroom that is furthest away from your desk and if you go out for lunch - choose a place you can walk to. 

You’ll find out you’ve put in over 30 minutes worth of exercise for the day while at work.

Incorporate new routines into your schedule: You don’t have to do the same set of workouts day in day out, in fact, that’s a recipe for boredom and stagnation. Instead, try out new moves, mix things up or just go completely in a different direction with your exercising. Think Yoga, CrossFit, kettlebell training or anything else you haven’t tried and would love to do.

Revamp your training gear: Getting a new training kit does two things for you; one, you are psychologically primed to test your new kit – hence it's more comfortable heading out to train. The second is that you’re adequately kitted for the season, so the new gear keeps you warm, and you’re able to work out better.

Turn your home into your gym: No you don’t have to get your home fitted with different training gadgets nor spend tons of money to turn your home into a studio. All you need is a workout DVD to train along with, and your body weight and you’re set. You might decide, however, to invest in few pieces of gym equipment.

Hence, for those days when the weather refuses to corporate, you’d be ready to continue your exercise in the comfort of your home.
​
Wrapping it up
So, there you have it, following these tips will surely get you in the frame of mind of working out during these cold months and when summer comes, you will have accomplished kicking some pounds into submission by staying fit during the 2018 Winter season.
