How to become healthy:
If you strive for fitness, all great fitness tips you get should be read with passion. We all want a good health, and we want to stay fit. Some people find it hard to become fit and healthy. Overweight people are battling to lose pounds with diets and workouts and after a few weeks they give up and continue their un-healthy lifestyle. Some of them have other bad habits as well, such as smoking and drinking too much alcohol. Other people loves to move; like running, swimming, basketball, tennis,skiing, you name it... they find joy and excitement in activities that bring them health and fitness. I'm concerned about the first group, the quitters.
What can they do to become healthy and fit? If you don't know I'll give you the answer right now. You have probably heard it a thousand times so you probably don't wanna hear it again, but I beg you to read it 30 - thirty - times and memorize it. YOU MUST EXPEND MORE CALORIES THAN YOU CONSUME. Here are a few tips on HOW to do it:
Drink Huge Amounts Of Water
One of the smartest fitness tips I have heard about and practiced is intake of fluids in large amounts. According to experts, water and juices from various kinds of fruit are essential part of good diet. Not only will such liquids help you lose weight, they can also keep you body optimally hydrated. Besides, people who are drinking enough fluids is a day usually have clearer complexion so drink up!
Move Around AS Much AS Possible (and try to make it fun !)
Many will say that moving around is the best fitness tip there is. Simple things like for instance climbing stairs, walking dogs, mowing your lawn, cleaning your house, dancing and other moving activities can burn a lot of calories. What is more engaging about moving around is that you don't just lose weight but you also relieve your mind and your muscles from stress. According to recent studies, movement is one of the best stress relievers so don't just sit all day in front of your computer at work. Stand up let's say every half hour and stretch your legs. Likewise, it would be better for you to take the stairs instead of riding the elevator when you go to the office.
Stop Smoking Now
A very momentous fitness tip is for you to quit smoking and concentrate on staying healthy and fit. Tobacco-smoking is definitely bad for the body. Smokers often suffer from different types of diseases including certain types of cancers. If you value your health as well as your life, throw that tobacco away.
Don't Stress
A lot of us who are under constant pressure tend to eat too much and do not take good care of their bodies. If you are one of them who are constantly too stressed-out to think straight, take a break and appraise the kind of life that you have.
Stay away from Food high in fat
Most of us love it; going to MacDonald or Burger King from time to time. It's so easy and simple, and cheap. However, your body doesn't like too much of it. Therefore you should eat as little fat food as possible. If you eat pork, cut off the fat parts of it, chicken is good food and can be prepared in many delicious ways and the same goes for fish - it's so healthy and the fat you get from fish is the good kind of fat that your body needs. If you combine these foods with high fiber bread, vegetables and fruit and make this a habit, you will lose weight and become healthy.

TIPS TO GET FIT
Incorporate more physical exercise into your daily routine. You're probably out of shape because you don't regularly challenge your body to do anything out of the daily range of motion. So start your own exercise regimen and stick to it.
Switch things up. Any physical activity that causes at least a little bit of strain will help you get fit, but it's important to remember that variety is the spice of life. Keep both your body and your mind guessing by enjoying a diversity of activities and having fun:
Dance for exercise. Anything from ballet dance to breakdancing will increase your fitness if you stick with it.
Jump in the pool. It doesn't matter if you're treading water, dog paddling, or mastering the butterfly stroke. Swimming is a good form of exercise that can be fun, too.
Give your body fuel. As you become more active, you'll need more food, but not just any food--you need healthy, energy-laden food that'll jump start the next phase of your day, not weigh it down. Learn how to eat healthy and drink more water everyday.
Let your body rest. When you're giving your body a run for its money with varied physical activities, you also need to let it recover and renew by getting a sufficient amount of sleep. Determine how many hours of sleep you need in order to feel refreshed in the morning, then discipline yourself to wake up and go to bed at the same times on a daily basis.
Get a check-up. To stay fit in the long run, you should perform regular maintenance on your body, just as you would with a car. Take yourself to the doctor and dentist regularly to make sure everything's running smoothly on the inside and to prevent any potential problems from arising.
[edit] Tips
The benefits of a healthy lifestyle and physical fitness are easy to obtain with a small amount of know-how and a serious commitment. If you have decided that you're going to work out, you have to follow through, and not look for excuses to ignore the routine.
If necessary, have a serious heart-to-heart with all of your loved ones. Explain to each and every loved one that you want to be there for them for many healthy years to come. If they don't happen to share your fitness ambitions, ask each loved one to at least respect your will to get fit, so that you can enjoy a healthy way of living.
Also if you are overweight start with something simple like jogging 5 minutes everyday than the next week go 10 minutes a day and so forth
Once you have gotten to your desired fitness, continue the steps that got you there. Wellness is a lifestyle!
[edit] Warnings
Always consult a physician before beginning an exercise or diet regimen.
Don't over do it and cause pain.Try your hardest but if it hurts take advil and rest for the day

Being "fit" essentially means being able to perform well in a wide variety of physical exerting circumstances. For some people, it also means being able to "fit" into their favorite clothes.
