Seven Habits of Highly Healthy People

What are the seven characteristics of healthy, fit people?

1. Exercise is a high priority for fit folks; they get 60 to 90 minutes of exercise a day.
2. Healthy people eat a variety of natural foods, and usually avoid sugars, flours and fats.
3. They limit portion size is a part of their dining.
4. Fit people regularly track calories.
5. People who keep weight permanently off weigh themselves on a regular basis.
6. Health minded and physically strong people surround themselves with other happy, active people.
7. They set specific goals, both short-term and long range.

 And if I wanted to add a personal eighth, fit people get back up when they fall down. If they binge, they get back on their nutritional plan. They go to the gym or hit their run regardless of whether or not they feel like it. They don't let other people's weight or size scare them away from their workouts. They know why they want to be healthy and they just do it- again and again. And they get the results!

*Some of these ideas come from the book "Zumba: Ditch the Workout, Join the Party" by Beto Perez.
