It of course involves some amount of physical activity, so there’s no escaping that if you want to stay fit. Let’s take a look at these activities: 1. Yoga: Yoga involves stretching your body in various poses, which brings a lot of tension to your muscles, thus increasing your overall pain threshold and stamina but also puts your mind at ease.

If losing pounds is as easy as journaling about what you put in your mouth, can you use the same technique to help you stick to a fitness routine?
