Quick Fit Tip: 3 Anti-Fitness Habits

Quick Fit Tip: 3 Anti-Fitness Habits
The following 3 habits will result in weight gain faster than you can say 'anti-fitness habits.' Break these habits quickly.
Drinking Calories. Soda pop, caffeine drinks, smoothies and fruit juices are filled with calories. Since liquids won't give you a 'full' feeling, these drinks slide by without notice of how many extra calories you're getting. Stick with water to avoid extra calories.
Not Exercising. Skipping the gym day after day, week after week, and month after month will lead to muscle loss and a reduced metabolism. Exercise 3-5 days per week to keep your muscles strong and metabolism high.
Eating a Heavy Dinner. Eating a large & heavy dinner sets you up for failure not only for the remainder of the day, but also for the next day! Overeating at dinner-time causes your metabolism to be forced to utilize particular nutrients at sleep time that would NORMALLY be used for healing & rebuilding, to fuel your body's processes in order to metabolize the extra calories you consumed at dinner time. Come the following day not only is your body "full" still so that you can't really eat much of a breakfast(the most important meal of the day), but also your body's metabolism has produced a "hangover" effect from the overeating the night before. (A Hangover is defined as-Having unpleasant physical effects following the heavy/overuse of something)

Keep it fit,
