12 Evening Habits Fit Women Always Do

While we know the habits that fit girls have throughout the day, there are still some great habits they have in the evening as well. And if you’re curious and would like to implement some good evening habits yourself, then definitely check these out and let us know what you think!

Have a Skincare Routine

Being fit involves an element of self-care overall. Remove any makeup and cleanse your skin to ensure your pores aren’t blocked. This is particularly important if you enjoy exercise, since excess sweat can affect your pores.

Drink Water Two Hours Before Bed

Drinking water too close to bedtime can negatively impact you due to breaking the sleep cycle. And because of this, many fit women will know that drinking at least two hours before bed, and no more, will help them stay hydrated and healthy without risking any negative effects.

Using Appropriate Late-Night Snacks

Not all snacks are suitable for the evening, particularly before you sleep. But snacks, such as natural Greek yogurt, are more likely to aid with sleep and stop you from feeling hungry before you go to bed. Researching what is best for your body late at night can greatly benefit your fitness and health overall.

Drink Milk Directly Before Bed

While water before bed may negatively impact you, it has been found that milk can assist you. Milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid which aids with sleeping, so this will definitely benefit you. And for those of you who follow a vegan or dairy-free diet, almond or coconut milk will have a similar effect without the lactose or use of animal products.

Exercise

Evening exercise can be a staple for fit woman. There are a variety of benefits, including gaining more sleep and swapping unhealthy nights out for fitness. Plus, there are less time limits to exercising in the evening, as opposed to trying to fit your regime in before work. HOWEVER, make sure to research the best before bedtime workouts. Certain exercises, before bed, can keep you from falling asleep sooner.

Showering

It’s been shown that having a warm shower, about 90 minutes before bed can actually improve your sleep, leading you to feeling more energized in the morning. Great for a full day ahead

31 Simple Wellness Tips for Healthy & Happy Living

1. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING Coffee’s great too, but it’s best to start your day by re-hydrating with a full glass of water. Hydrating first thing in the morning helps to aid digestion, enhance skin health and boost energy. 2. TAKE THE STAIRS Taking the stairs instead of the elevator is a simple way to get a little more physical activity in your daily life. It also strengthens and tones your legs and core while you’re at it! 3. MAKE HALF YOUR PLATE VEGGIES A simple hack for healthy eating (and portion control) is to make half your plate veggies at each meal. 4. GET A FITBIT & TRACK YOUR STEPS Using a Fitbit (we like the Ionic and Versa ) to track your steps is an easy way to make sure you’re getting enough physical activity. We aim for 10,000 steps each day , which has significant physical and mental health benefits. The Fitbit will also remind you to get 250 steps each hour (another important measure of health—see tip #9!). 5. SWITCH TO NONTOXIC HOUSEHOLD...

9 STRETCHES FOR LEAN LEGS – GET SEXY LEGS WITH STRETCHING

Image
Stretch #1: Downward Dog This pose is so good to start with, especially for stretching out those hamstring and calf muscles. It really opens up those back leg muscles starting from the lower back, all the way down to the feet. You can try transferring the weight from one feet to another, banding the other knee and really try to achieve that deep stretch. If you feel flexible enough, you can try extending one of the legs up, before heading on to the next pose. Stretch #2: Low Lunge From downward dog, head on to the next stretch, the lower lunge. You just need to step your right foot forward between your hands, placing the right knee over the heel. Touch your left knee to the floor keeping the right knee fixed in place. You can do this keeping your palms on the floor, or if you feel flexible enough you can try lowering down to your elbows. Either way, keep it in the pose for at least 10 breaths. Stretch #3: Low Lunge Quad Stretch Next we have the deep lunge again, but this time, your che...
