Get Movement Into Your Day

It’s okay to start small. Try to find moments in the day to stretch, walk around, dance a little, or any other kind of movement. This may help relieve stress and will help get your body more used to moving regularly without putting strain on it right away.

Get Out of the House When You’re Tired

Practice getting up and doing something at the time of day when you’d like to start working out. That way even when you’re feeling tired—like early morning or after work—you’ll be more accustomed to getting yourself back up and out the door.

Shower When You Would If Working Out

It may sound a little silly, but one thing you’ll want to get used to is showering at whatever hour you’d normally finish working out. This way, there’s one more part of the routine you’ve already worked into your schedule and you’ll be more inclined to get sweaty right before your scheduled shower.

Limit Your Caffeine Intake

We love a cup of coffee, but caffeine later in the day can make it hard to fall asleep. Cut your caffeine off about eight to ten hours before you plan on heading to bed.

Make Your Bed a No-Work Zone

When you’re working from home, it’s easy for your home life and work life to get blurred, but make sure your bed is a no-work zone. You don’t want your bed to be associated with stress.

Follow an Exercise Routine

Exercise can help you fall asleep faster, so following a workout routine will help you get a better night’s sleep. Try and finish your workout at least two hours before heading to bed because exercise releases endorphins and increases your body’s core temperature, which will prevent you from falling asleep.

Eat Dinner a Few Hours Before Bed

Your body needs time to process food before you go to sleep. To avoid indigestion, eat large meals earlier and avoid eating at least an hour before heading to sleep.

Avoid Bright Lights in Your Home

Bright lights and screens suppress melatonin and they make your body think it’s still daytime. They can not only make it harder to fall asleep, but they can impact the quality of your sleep. Avoid bright lights at home, especially before bed.

Skipping Breakfast

You may think that you’ll have an easier time losing weight if you skip breakfast, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. While you’re sleeping, your metabolism slows down and eating in the morning can fire it back up, allowing you to burn more calories during the day. By skipping breakfast, you’re telling your body to conserve energy rather than burn calories. Kick start your day with a nutritious breakfast like eggs, yogurt and berries, or whole-wheat toast with peanut butter.

Being Inactive

With many of us working from home these days, we find ourselves sitting at the computer for eight or nine hours at a time, barely getting up from our seats. When you’re sitting all day, your body goes into energy-conservation mode, which ends up slowing down your metabolism.

Not Eating Enough Protein

We all know that protein is important for building and maintaining muscles, but it also leads to maintaining a healthy weight.

Not Getting Enough Sleep

It’s not unusual to have trouble falling asleep, but if this is happening all the time, your metabolism decreases and you’ll have hormonal imbalances.

Not Drinking Enough Water

Drinking water throughout the day will not only keep you hydrated, but it will boost your metabolism.

Lack of sleep

You need to be properly rested to achieve good results. Reducing sleep so you could have enough time to exercise won’t do you any favors, and you’ll feel tired and stressed out during every workout.

Improper hydration

It may seem like a bother, but bringing a bottle of water every time you hit the gym is a must. This precious liquid will keep your body moving during workouts and help regulate your body temperature.

Skipping warm-up

A lot of people want to get to business as soon as they enter the gym, and wish they could skip stretching all together. Don’t let yourself be one of them. Warm-ups are extremely important because they prep your body for what’s coming next.

Doing the same things

Sticking to the same fitness routine is also a bad habit because it means you’re constantly targeting the same areas instead of focusing on improving your whole body.

Poor nutrition

The calorie counter isn’t always a reflection of your health, and it shouldn’t stop you from having a snack before your training. Working out hungry will prevent you from doing your best, and you should avoid at all cost.
