There's no way to lose fifty pounds in a day, or to go from couch potato to marathon runner in a week, with enough self-discipline you can become fit relatively quickly.
Start by exercising daily, if you're a sedentary person start with 15 minutes of low-impact exercise every day. If you push yourself too hard, you risk hurting yourself and losing progress, or burning yourself out and quitting altogether. And always remember to stretch before and after your workout to warm your body up and minimize soreness.
Once you've become comfortable with that, move up to thirty minutes a day, and increase as you go along. Make sure you set concrete goals within your skill range and work your way up slowly.
If you feel you haven’t been feeling fit lately, it is because you have let laziness take over you. If you are always asking someone else to grab you a glass of water or turn off the lights, you prefer to wait for the lift to go to the first floor and you don’t want to walk.
The result of this laziness can be a saggy belly, poor digestion, and lethargy. If you want to be fit and you want to achieve it in the least possible time, you have to let go of the laziness. Whenever, you see an opportunity to get up, take it.
If you are in bed and your spouse needs something, go get it. When you have to fetch groceries, walk to a nearby store. You could take a walk when you are bored. It is the simple tasks every day that you need to do, to stay fit. You might have a long way to go in your fitness journey but it’s never too late or too hard to take a small start.
It is never possible to become overnight; however, you can get it done quickly. The process begins with your mental attitude, ensure you have fun, and stay positive all day irrespective of how your day is going. Do not be too much in a hurry; take a step at a time. Ensure you are not too restive; always get that heart pumping. Watch your diet and ensure you take appropriate food and supplements.

There is no strict measurement of what’s a healthy diet. Depending on your body type, weight, height, and age, your daily intake will be quite different from someone else.
