As with any weight-loss regimen, establishing realistic goals is a crucial first step. We’re not going to sugarcoat it—if you want that cheesecake, you’re going to have to forego your lunchtime kale salad. Sorry! However, just because you can’t (read: shouldn’t) dive headfirst into a meatball sub doesn’t mean there aren’t ways around that particular problem. For example, ordering half of your sandwich at lunch and saving half for dinner is one way you can reduce your overall caloric intake by 100 calories per meal without dramatically altering your diet or lifestyle. If you’re really serious about losing weight
quickly, we suggest consulting a registered dietitian who will help you develop an effective plan based on your specific dietary needs and health goals.

For people who prefer solo sports and like a little bit of solitude with their exercise, running is ideal. Not only does it improve your overall health, but runners report feeling more self-confident once they start regularly pounding out miles. The reason: It challenges you in ways that force you to go outside your comfort zone—and when you do, you feel accomplished. Plus, with running there’s no need for extra equipment or special skills; just lace up and go. A 30-minute daily run can produce all of these positive benefits (and a few more). Running is better for your physical fitness. You don’t even have to be a seasoned athlete to get started, so grab your sneakers and try it out today!
Final thoughts:
When it comes to physical fitness, there is one thing that everyone agrees on: You should be physically active and you should exercise regularly. The type of activity doesn’t matter—walking, running; weight lifting, swimming, whatever. Whether you run a lot or not much at all, consistency matters most when it comes to physical activity as well as other habits like sleep and meditation, says Jessica Matthews, PhD in Psychology Today. You have to get into a routine that works for you so that it becomes automatic. So how can you make sure your fitness practice works for your individual personality? Below are some suggestions by Myers-Briggs type. Go over them with a friend (or yourself) to see which seems most fitting!
