Exercise
Your body needs you to get on a regular exercise routine . Remember nutrition combined with regular exercise is a guaranteed win . Exercise makes your muscles more sensitive to insulin so you will not require as much . Less insulin in the body means less inflammation and less body fat especially the belly fat !
A great tip is to get into a routine that you can sustain , so that it doesn ’ t feel like work . If it feels like work , you will end up quitting . If you love to walk or skip that ’ s fine . You will need to do this daily for about 45 mins . I always encourage my clients to combine cardio with weights so that you have a well toned and strong body .
If you can get to high intensity training then all you need is 20 mins max . Be sure to get guidance from a gym coach . Whichever way , get moving !
Here is to a healthier and happier YOU !
