Not everyone wants to build muscle up and look like a bodybuilder, sprint like an Olympian or be as skinny as a marathon runner. However many people do want to get themselves into decent shape and maintain a healthy lifestyle and a positive healthy appearance and feel. These five tips will certainly help you to do that:

1) Consume smaller more regular meals. Doing this increases the speed at which your body uses up its reserves of calories, otherwise known as its metabolic rate. By raising this rate you can of course shed pounds and decrease your weight faster. If you only eat once or twice a day your body thinks it is starving and that it has to hold onto the energy it has and so chooses a much slower metabolic rate. By eating meals regularly your body feels that it can use up it supply of calories without danger and will adopt a higher metabolic rate.

2) Perform interval training routines rather than long steady exercises. Interval training involves short bursts of energy maybe for a minute or two which are very intense, these are then followed by period of much easier activity. For example you might jog for a couple of minutes then run at 80-90% of your maximum for a minute and then jog again for 2 minutes. Doing this for just 20 minutes provides a great workout. This approach can be used for virtually any type of activity but is highly suited to running, cycling and swimming. This is better for you as you can burn off more calories in a shorter space of time, you will find that you average heart rate over the twenty minutes is higher than if you did a long continuous jog. What is more, it is much less boring and as you get fitter you can change the time intervals to keep increasing your fitness levels. 

3) Exercise with circuit training. These are made use of by the armed forces for a good reason. It generates a erally great allround workout. You can improve you explosive power and your endurance too. There are endless variations to try out and you can track your progress easily.

4) Drink plenty of water. Your body is around 80% water so clearly to function properly a good supply of water is required. This helps your mind stay alert and also aids the body in getting rid of potentially damaging toxins.

5) Join your friends for training sessions. Exercising with others stops you from dropping out so easily and will keep you persisting for longer. It helps prevent you from getting bored n makes you persist and have fun at the same time.
