The post How to Get Sugar Cravings Under Control appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>One of the main reasons people crave sweets is due to irregular meal times or skipping meals. When your body doesn’t get what it needs, you experience extreme blood sugar drops, and the easiest way to deal with them is with sugar. That’s why we crave it.
If you’re eating regularly, but not consuming enough carbs, you may notice you have cravings for sweets and carbs. This is your body’s way of telling you you need more carbs. Carbs are the body’s source of energy and if you’re not eating enough of them, you’ll crave them. Incorporate carbs into every meal and choose ones that have fiber, like whole grains, beans, legumes, and fruit.
Depriving yourself of foods you enjoy makes you crave them more until you decide to cave and overindulge. After that, you feel guilty and it’s a never-ending cycle. That’s why you shouldn’t put any food off-limits and instead just eat fewer sweets.

]]>If you switch up the exercises too often and have no long-term focus, you won’t see gains. It turns out that doing the same workout over and over again builds strength and muscle more than switching it up. Stick to the same exercises and focus on progressing with more weight or reps over time.
While it may seem like doing more sets leads to more gains, there are just a certain number of sets that you need for a single session and anything above it can lead to injuries. Aim for no more than 10 sets per muscle group in one session.
Make sure you’re making the most out of your time at the gym and choose your exercises wisely. Include exercises that are biomechanically different and challenge the muscles at different angles and ranges of motion.

]]>Hip thrusts are great for all fitness levels and unlike deadlifts and squats, they require less core stability, balance, coordination, and spinal extension strength. You can also tailor the exercise by using a dumbbell or barbell. Once you’re more comfortable with the exercise, add weight or slow the tempo down.
While deadlifts and squats are great for the glutes, they put load on the spine, which can put you at risk for injuries. Older adults and those with back injuries can do hip thrusts to train their lower body while still being gentle on their lower back.
There are tons of variations to the exercise like adding a mini band around your thighs, just above your knees or doing a single-leg thrust. Choose a variation based on your training goals.

]]>Calling something a guilty pleasure makes you feel bad about indulging in it. Being negative about it makes it harder to enjoy the pleasurable experience.
When things you like conflict with your identity, it makes you feel uneasy. Like if you see yourself as someone who’s healthy, but you eat a donut or you’re athletic, but you’re spending the day playing video games. This inconsistency can make you feel stressed and like you’re a fraud.
Being unable to embrace pleasure without guilt attached makes indulging seem sinful and that you’re weak. Giving in to your guilty pleasures implies you don’t have willpower or self-control, which isn’t the case at all.

]]>Some people avoid reaching for snacks in between meals, but snacks can help you avoid getting hangry. Eating four to five smaller meals throughout the day will help you stay on track with your health goals. Snack on foods like carrots and celery snacks and pair them with hummus or peanut butter.
Many people fall victim to snacking when they’re bored, but over time, small bites add up. Before grabbing a snack, do a hunger check and figure out if you’re actually hungry.
Dried fruit, nuts, and seeds make great snacks, but they’re high in calories and it’s easy to overeat them if you’re not careful. Check the portion size when eating these foods.

]]>The important thing about fitness is every workout counts—it’s important to just get moving. You don’t need to put aside an hour to work out. If you only have 10 minutes, you can still get a great full-body workout in. In 30 minutes, you can do HIIT, strength training, cardio, or a mix of cardio and strength.
When it comes to exercising, don’t make things too complicated. You just need to know basic moves like pushups, planks, squats, and lunges.
Chances are you’re not going to love every workout. You may have to try a bunch before you find one you enjoy, but once you find it, stick with it. You’ll be more likely to exercise if you enjoy your workout.

]]>Gone are the days when you’d have to bring a fanny pack or armband with you for your run. They’ve been replaced by discreet running belts which can hold your keys, headphones, phone, cash, and license.
Weighted hula hoops are just like the ones you fell in love with during your childhood and you’ll burn tons of calories while using one.
During the summer, staying hydrated is especially important, but even still, most of us don’t drink enough of it. Marked water bottles will give you that extra motivation to keep drinking.
Not only are workout trampolines one of the most fun ways to get cardio in, but they’re also easier on your joints. They also fold up, so they won’t take up too much space in your home.
Resistance bands are essential for at-home workouts, but they can be really annoying when they snap or slip. With these fabric ones, you won’t have to worry about that happening.

]]>While most people think they have to run every day to build endurance if you’re looking to build your stamina you should run two to three times a day. Start with a run or walk to help your legs build strength and stamina. Also, run on non-consecutive days and mix non-running workouts throughout the day.
Mix up your runs by incorporating easy runs with both fast and short intervals in between, and running on hills throughout your week.
Did you know that you can build endurance for running by not running? Cardio workouts like swimming, cycling, and yoga and strength training workouts should also be part of your training routine.
Don’t go easy and don’t stop when it gets hard. You need to push yourself, but if you feel any soreness or pain, it’s best to stop running.
