Your health is everything, and it is so important to take care of it. You only get one body, after all! No matter where you are on your fitness journey, incorporating some key habits will help ensure your health in the long run.

Nicole Brar has worked as a fitness instructor in her local area for more than 15 years and is passionate about exercise and nutrition. Today she shares her top 10 habits for staying healthy.

1. Incorporate exercise in a way that is sustainable for you. Especially if you are trying to lose fat, you need to exercise in a way that you can maintain. If you exercise a lot to lose weight, then stop exercising as much, and the weight will come back. 
2. Drink plenty of water. Our bodies are 70% water, and it is so important to drink enough of it. Most people only reach for water when they are really thirsty. 
3. Walk whenever possible. Many people are used to driving their cars everywhere but try to think of some ways you can take more steps. Park farther away from the grocery store or even just take a walk around the block every day.
4. Improve your cooking skills! One of the best ways to get more nutrition into your diet is to skip the takeout and cook at home. Plus, you can change up the recipes to your personal taste. 
5. Do a combination of cardio and weight training. If you are looking to lose fat, cardio burns a lot of calories, but weight training helps your body burn more calories in general. 
6. Remind yourself that anything is better than nothing. If the only thing you can manage to do today is a 10-minute workout, do it, and congratulate yourself for it.
