Video Transcript:

My name is Christine Marquette and I'm a registered dietitian with the Austin Regional Clinic
and I'm going to talk to you about how to keep fit. There are a lot of ways to keep
fit. The important thing is that you find an activity that you enjoy doing and that
you stick with it. There's a variety of things you can do. You can run, walk, swim, bike,
go hiking, do yoga, lots of different methods for keeping fit. You can go dancing, dancing
is a very good aerobic activity, very physical activity, burns a lot of calories and its
a very enjoyable way for a lot of people to keep fit. The other thing that's important
is making sure that you follow a healthy diet. You want to make sure that you have enough
energy to do these activities that you actually enjoy doing to keep your body fit. So following
a healthy diet means making sure that you eat when you're hungry, you stop eating when
you're full, you include plenty of different types of fruits and vegetables, whole grains,
things like brown rice, oatmeal, millet, all those types of things are considered whole
grains. You also want to include some type of lean protein whether that's from legumes,
beans such as pinto beans, garbanzos, or seafood or lean cuts of meat or poultry without the
skin. Any of those are sources of lean proteins that are very beneficial for your body. And
again, that particular method of eating will make sure that you have the energy that you
need to actually perform these different types of activities that you enjoy doing. So as
long as you find an activity that you like, make sure that you try to do it several times
a week at least 4 to 5 times a week will really help improve your level of fitness. More than
that can actually cause you to lose weight if you're trying to actually lose weight.
So several different methods for keeping fit. Can be any type of physical activity that
you enjoy doing.
