What Is The Best Way To Stay Fit?

I can't tell you about others but here is what I have been doing for last 4-5 years. In order to achieve fitness, you first need to define your goals and then work accordingly. Obviously, I have some fat and I am nowhere close to a model type physique but that has never been my goal. For an average person like me, who is 25 year old and have been busy finishing his PhD for last 4 years, I think I am doing okay in terms of achieving my personal fitness goals.

Here are some of my habits:

Food: For breakfast, I eat two whole eggs fried in very little salted butter, wrapped in a tortilla and a glass of milk. For lunch, I eat cooked beans with rice for 3 days and chicken/mutton with rice for 4 days. For dinner I eat green veggies and fruits. Veggies could be in salad form or cooked depending on my mood. On Friday, generally I eat dinner outside.

Workout: I run 3-4 miles every evening 5 days a week. For the remaining two days, i do pull ups, chin dips, push ups and squats and sometimes deadlifts.

Sleep: This is an area where I have been trying to improve myself. My target is 8 hours but it is difficult to achieve during a PhD. I usually end up getting 6.5 to 7 hours of sleep every night.

Remember, you first need to set your fitness goals. The goals should be defined on the basis of how much money and time you are willing to spend and your ultimate objective with your newly carved physique. For normal working class people I think the goal should be to achieve a level of fitness that would allow them to have a healthy and disease free life. Mine is the same and I am glad with my progress so far towards achieving this goal.
