With all of the technology that is so easily available to us Americans we should have no excuse for getting behind on maintaining our body and health. There are a ton of apps out there for your smart phone where you can instantly get tips on health and fitness. Click here for some new fitness apps for your smart phone.
Spring time is the best time to amplify your fitness routine. You can include the outdoors or even spring clean your house to get in a good workout. I know it sounds surprising, but you can burn a great deal of calories just cleaning house! Scrubbing the floor on your hands and knees burns 400 calories an hour, not to mention you get quite an arm workout. If you're windows are dirty get out that rag and start cleaning. After an hour of window washing you will have burned 250 calories and be able to see the clear skies of springtime.
You should also set aside some time to completely revamp
your kitchen cabinet. Get rid of all those leftover goodies (but high in
calorie) holiday and Valentine’s Day candies. Start fresh and hit up a local
farmer’s market to stock up on fresh fruits and veggies. The time is now when
tomatoes, strawberries and avocados are in season so prepare your pantry with
some good fats for the springtime.
Try and take some time out of your day to search the Web for
meals that include those fresh fruits and vegetables. It makes a world of
difference to cook with fresh produce to enhance your health. I know it will
take some time out of your busy schedule, but cooking at home can really be the
cure to those fast food and fatty meal cravings.

towards vamping up your health and fitness routine this spring season.
