Get fit the right way

Never Do the Same Workout
The reason most people don't see changes isn't because they don't work hard—it's because they don't make their workouts harder.Use a little more weight, rest five to 10 seconds less between sets, add a few more reps, or do another set. Incorporating these small variations into your routine is a recipe for change.

Be True to Form
It doesn't matter how many push-ups you can do in a minute if you're not doing one correctly.Perfect your technique, then later add weight and/or speed. This is especially important if your workout calls for performing “as many reps as possible” during a set amount of time. Choose quality over quantity, and you can stay injury-free.

One Day at a Time
Long-term goals are imperative, but they can make you feel overwhelmed or discouraged at times. Instead of thinking about how many dress sizes smaller you want to be in four months, focus on small everyday victories for example, today you are going to eat breakfast, fit in a workout, and drink more water.Stay focused on the present, and your future will be successful. 

Find a Fit Friend
A workout partner not only keeps you accountable, she also may help you clock more time at the gym and torch more fat. A British survey of 1,000 women found that those who exercise with others tend to train six minutes longer and burn an extra 41 calories per session compared to solo fitness fanatics.

Heed Your Hunger
Give your body a little more credit: It tells you when you’re hungryyou may not be listening, though. Before chowing down because there’s only one slice of pie left or because the last guest arrived at the brunch, stop and check in with your stomach. If you’re not hungry, make yourself a small plate and sip on some tea or coffee while everyone else digs in.
