Learn 5 key tips to overall fitness shared by Boca Grove's Fitness Director: 

1. Diet is king. 80% of our body composition depends on how we eat.  You can work out like a crazy person and never see results if you eat unhealthy. So, remember, a well-balanced diet of proteins, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and good fats will aid in improving your fitness level. Also, many people find it helpful to keep a log of the food that they eat.
2. Weights and Cardio go hand-in-hand. Resistance weight training helps build lean muscle, burn fat throughout the day, and helps with bone density, while cardio burns calories and, most importantly, helps keep the heart healthy. So, much like many things in life, the key is finding a good balance between weights and cardio.  An example of this would be to weight train Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while doing cardio on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
3. Sleep. Sleep helps balance your hormones, which in turn helps maintain your weight. The better you sleep the better your body is able to function and maintain a healthy metabolism.
4. Drink water. Water helps to keep us feeling satiated, and less likely to over eat. But, more importantly, keeps our muscles and organs hydrated and bones lubricated.
5. Don’t overdo it.  Many people are guilty of trying to solve all their fitness problems in one day.  They turn into a superhero and do too much. This results in injuries and soreness that derail a workout routine before it even gets started.
