Fitness Tips

Health and Diet
Enjoy soy nuts for a high-protein, high-fiber snack. Soy nuts are lower in fat and calories like many traditional roasted nuts. Soy nuts are simply whole soybeans that have been soaked in water for at least eight hours. They’re then baked or roasted until crunchy and browned. If you’re watching your sodium, buy unsalted soy nuts.

Fitness
Stretch the truth. Researchers in Quincy, MA found that beginning exercisers on a 10-week program who did simple 20 second stretches after their weight training gained an average of 19% more strength than subjects who did not stretch. And they were taller too (Just kidding).

Health and Diet
Grilled chicken makes a low-fat tasty meal. Here’s a simple recipe for slimming success. Coat cooking grate with cooking spray. Grill over medium-hot fire. Try aromatic hickory or mesquite wood chips for added flavor. Turn every five minutes until juices run clear when pricked. Use tongs to turn. Cook with skin on, and then remove before eating.

Fitness
Watch you eat for the sake of your feet. The average 180 pound male burns 9.7 calories a minute while walking. In other words, it would take 15 minutes of walking to burn up one 12 oz. bottle of beer, and 107 minutes of walking to burn up a quarter-pounder and super size fries. Not counting the ketchup.

Health and Diet
Walking is a step in the right direction.
Remember, your form is very important. Keep your chin up and your shoulders held slightly back. Walk so that the heel of your foot touches the ground first then roll your weight forward. Walk with your toes pointed forward and swing your arms as you walk. Be sure to get your heart rate up when you walk.

Fitness
All socks are not created equal. If you’re still wearing the same old crew socks for everything, it’s time to get sport specific. Just like there are different shoes, there are specific socks for hiking, walking, running, weight training and even water sports.

Health and Diet
Prevent yourself from overeating with these tips. Don't hesitate to ask for a doggie bag when dining out -- you'll have tomorrow's lunch already made. Offer to share an entree, appetizer or dessert. At home, serve the entrée and starch dishes in the kitchen. Put a big salad and vegetables on the table. Help yourself to seconds if you like.

Fitness
Don’t get stuck in a rut. If you’ve been using barbells, try using machines or dumbbells. It’s easy to get into the habit of going through the motions of doing the same exercises over and over. Live it up! Change the angles or range of motion. But don’t get reckless and ruin your form.

Health and Diet
The USDA’s 5- A-Day initiative aims to get Americans to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. There are plenty of ways to do this. Pile veggies like cucumber slices, sprouts or carrot shavings on your sandwich. Enjoy fruit for breakfast. Add a banana to your cereal. Berries contain the most fiber and least calories of all fruit; have a handful. Broil half a grapefruit topped with cinnamon.

Fitness
Variety is the spice of life. If you’ve been hitting the same gym every morning, try going to a friend’s gym on a free pass, take a group fitness class, do a boot camp video at home or run on a scenic trail. Even reversing the order you do your bike ride or run can add a new challenge.

Health and Diet
Cooked soybeans are good sources of soy protein and antioxidants. They contain no cholesterol and little saturated fat. Add soybeans to stir-fry dishes. Add cubed tofu or soybeans to homemade or canned soups. Toss soybeans in a salad. When you bake a batch of chili, add a heaping helping. You can also blend a serving of soybeans and fresh garlic in a food processor for an appetizing spread.

Fitness
Keep a training log. Writing down everything will help you follow the details of your program and give you a quick reference of routines to alternate. Plus you can admire your progress and pat yourself on the back (but stretch first before you try it).

Health and Diet
Fight flab with fiber.
Research shows that the average American eats only 10 to 15 grams of fiber daily, far less fiber than the recommended 25 to 30 grams a day. The benefits of fiber include a healthier digestive system and a lowered cholesterol level. The best sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans and legumes.

Fitness
If you’re not up to running, take up race walking to burn calories, trim inches from your waist and pump up your calves. Race walking causes considerably less impact to your ankles, knees, lower back, shoulders and neck than running. It’s less jiggle and more wiggle.

The SF police is here (just kidding).

for posting these health and fitness tips.

I assume the OP has copy/pasted the above article from a (non-Muslim) website, so I would just like to point out a couple of things and Insha'Allah the OP can edit her post to delete those parts and then I will remove them from my post as well Insha'Allah.

In other words, it would take 15 minutes of walking to burn up one 12 oz. bottle of beer, and 107 minutes of walking to burn up a quarter-pounder and super size fries. Not counting the ketchup.

Insha'Allah no one drinks beer on here so that's irrelevant to us. Same with a quarter-pounder, unless of course it's a halal one?

Keep your chin up and your shoulders held slightly back.

Yup, we are taught in the west (or I guess just about anywhere these days) to walk with your "head up", both for posture reasons I guess but also for 'pride' reasons. However, as Muslims, Insha'Allah we should walk with our head down (which means chin also); in other words we should lower our gaze in order to protect it from seeing what we shouldn't be seeing. The eyes are one of the weapons of the shaytaan and whatever image the eye sees, it gets copied into one's heart, thereby potentially making the heart dirty (if it was something one shouldn't have been looking at).

Please forgive me if I said anything wrong.

Allah knows best.

Regular exercise is good for health.Yoga asans like pranayama are good to keep body flexible and healthy.

[Jinn]

If you want to be fit and fine so always do some regular exercise in the early morning like push-ups and yoga. Always do some dynamic work-outs, get in shape and don't try to use any equipments for it, skip to take very expensive shoes, try to change your fitness plans. In, the winter season keep working out daily.

Don't try to use any equipments ? I smell bro science.
