Has all the guilt from holiday binge eating resulted in you adding being fit to your New Year Resolutions list? Now it might seem difficult to stick to.
There are simple, smart ways to be fit without doing anything extraordinary. So, forget all those excuses you were going to come up with three months later and get ready to meet a new you! Here are ten simple things you should weave into your everyday schedule to be fit and to stick to your fitness resolution:
1. Ditch the Escalators

We love escalators, don’t we? We can relax comfortably while the escalators bring us in and out of MRT stations. It’s that 30s of respite from the morning rush hour when we get to zone out. Sadly, it’s time to tone down that love a bit. Climbing stairs is one of the best routine exercises as it burns more calories than jogging (yes!) and it helps tone up muscles. We’re not asking you to climb the stairs to go home or to the office, but just take the stairs instead of the escalators during your daily commute, and you’ll be able to see small improvements to your fitness over time.
2. Say No to Your Favourite Coffee
Yes, it might seem to be a harmless stimulant you have each day to lift up your spirits or just keep yourself awake but having your much-loved coffee from that fancy coffee shop needs to be stopped. That’s because there are chances your coffee is a dessert in disguise and you might be consuming around 200-400 calories each morning (OMG!). Have a cup of green tea instead.
