Many of our habits, including those of personal exercise and diet often stem from our desire
to attain a certain body shape, size and weight. Balance is the key. For example, sometimes, trying to stay thin comes at the expense of energy.
It's important to realize that we all need sufficient energy and nutrition, not just to walk around and perform daily errands, but also to properly drive major body functions. Our food intake (diet) and exercise levels work hand in hand to help us maximize our body's functions. As ordinary people, we can learn a few tips from what athletes do to maintain health and wellness throughout the course of their professional career and beyond.

1. Define
the reason to be healthy and well
What is the force behind you wanting to be leaner, toned up, stronger, or more flexible? The reasons could be as diverse as there are people, but what is even more important is to identify the reason for your
commitment, dedication and focus. The more solid and specific your reason for keeping fit
is, the higher the chances you will stick to the journey. Review your reasons daily, and stay focused on what your main "driver" is.
2. Setting
goals
An athlete’s main goal is to win. They do this by basing
their training on existing and personal best records, which they constantly strive to beat.
Some people prefer to set definite goals for themselves, and while this works
perfectly before they achieve them, what happens when they reach their accomplishment? Become disciplined enough to set new goals every time you
achieve a current one. Avoid complacency, and do
not put a finish line to your efforts. Always strive for more. You might just reach it.
3. Develop
a set of habits
The only way you can truly excel at anything is by practicing
to become better at it. Running, training and any form of drill is good, provided it works for you and you are ready to make it a habit. Some of the top
performing athletics are known by their daily fitness and practice routines. "Practice make perfect". A
routine simplifies the process of achievement because the effort needed to
excel lessens with time. Imagine having a routine exercise regime to strengthen
a muscle. The drill may be simple, but the fact that it is done regularly makes
it stronger and increases its resilience. Blend this with a smart diet and consistency, and you got a great combination to help reach your goals to levels you may never have expected.
Be smart. With exercise, comes the possibility of injury, and since you are striving to perform your best, mistakes are bound to happen. Injuries could come in the form of mental loss or physical pain, but either one requires time to recover. Remember that the most important aspect of higher training levels is to gear up for your expected outcome regardless of what it might be. So, become your own winner by identifying your reasons, setting goals, and being consistent with core habits.
