Staying fit doesn't have to involve too many sacrifices. It can be a lot of fun, and besides, the better your fitness is, the more you enjoy life.
Steps
Step 1. Drink lots of water
Try to drink at least eight glasses of water a day, and avoid fizzy, sugary drinks. Eat a balanced diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, lean meats (fish, chicken), legumes and nuts (especially if you are a vegetarian).

Step 2. Start exercising

These are all fun activities that help keep you fit. Find one that you really like and dedicate yourself to it constantly.

Go for a run and pedal daily. It's fun to play football, and then it helps you burn calories!
