Fitness e Conselhos: 2017
by Lucas Graham Victor CordeiroVocê quer e decidiu mudar seus hábitos por uns mais saudáveis. Viver uma vida fitness até agora parecia apenas para famosos, mas são cada vez mais os que se animam. Conhecer qual é a maneira mais adequada de ser fit sem fracassar na tentativa. Uma coisa de cada vez. É muito cansativo mudar tudo o que vem fazendo de um dia para o outro. Mesmo que muitas pessoas tracem a meta de serem saudáveis e a princípio a motivação os ajuda, ao fim de algumas semanas o mais certo é que o cansaço os faça desistir da ideia. Por isso, o caminho é fazer ajustes em sua rotina por semana. Por exemplo, nos hábitos alimentícios, a meta da primeira semana pode ser beber mais água, para a segunda mantenha a água e diminua as bebidas açucaradas, álcool e farinhas. Enquanto que para a terceira já pode começar a diminuir as porções do prato e fazer 5 refeições por dia.
