Welcome! This account is for academic purposes only. BZbod will be discussing about the physical health.

You are doing great

Don't be concerned if you miss a day or a workout. Ignore the guilt and concentrate on what you'll do tomorrow!

[bzbod]

Do not rush it

It can take some time for a habit to become your daily routine. Try to be active around the same time every day, even if you don't go full out every time.

Enjoying the activity is also an option

Make room on your own natural rhythm for action so it doesn't feel like a chore. Incorporate it into your existing activities and quality time with family.

It’s alright to cheat… In physical activities

It is acceptable to reduce your entire physical activity target into shorter periods. Set a goal of at least 150 minutes every week. You can get there without feeling overwhelmed if you do 10-minute bursts a few times a day.

We all need support

For increased comfort and support, make sure you have the appropriate equipment for each activity. This could include a moisture-wicking jersey, a sports bra, or shoe inserts.

Get ready

To get into the mood, lean into your own personality. Your preferred music, preferred time of day, and things that you genuinely enjoy are more likely to keep you engaged.

Did you drink enough water today? This is your sign to chug a glass of water, not your alcoholic beverages :P

Be aware of your breathing, observe whether you have a tendency to hold your breath, and make any necessary adjustments.

Physical Activity Tip #3:

If you are one of the people who are not capable of doing physical activities with using your legs, you can do some stretching, water aerobics, and light weights.

Physical Activity Tip #2:

Walking with your pet is one of the great ways to have a routine, you’re active and so is your best friend.

Physical Activity Tip #1:

Take a full breath before beginning to move with free weights or resistance bands, and then begin to exhale as you lift the weight.

With summer just around the corner, it is not surprising that many people want to look their best, including being fit and healthy. Remember, being fit and healthy does not mean what society told you to be. You look great <3

BZbod Tip #3:

Practice portion control. It’s okay to eat your high-calorie favorite snacks, but must be taken moderately.
