Paleo workouts are meant to be short and simple but immensely effective in helping you build strength, quickness, and endurance. Because the movements and routines are simple, proper form is key, and you have to guard against over-exercising. In addition, you have to make sure you're fueling your body with the right foods before and after exercise.

Fasting has many, many benefits. But sometimes even knowing all the benefits of a healthy lifestyle doesn't mean that you'll be able to stay motivated all the time to adhere to that lifestyle. Following are some different techniques you can use to get and stay motivated. You don't have to stick with just one of these motivational tactics.

The goblet squat, a movement invented by renowned strength coach Dan John, is perhaps the most simplistic, but effective squat variation in existence. What's great about the goblet squat is that it's almost impossible to do wrong, making it a perfect beginner squatting variation. Just because it's easy and great for beginners, however, doesn't mean that it's of no use to veterans.

The Turkish get-up is one of the most comprehensive, compound movements in existence today, because it has you moving just about every joint in your body. The purpose of this exercise is to get up off the ground while supporting a weight overhead. This movement simultaneously works elements of mobility (the ability to move through a range of motion) and stability (the ability to resist changes in joint position) in the shoulders, hips, and core.

Living Paleo means eating all-natural, real foods that support steady blood sugar levels and eliminate inflammation inside the body. Living Paleo also means knowing how to estimate the right amount of food for your needs, stocking your kitchen with Paleo-friendly foods, and cooking healthful meals at home. Not sure how to make the switch to living Paleo?

Your immune system is something you can manage: When you begin to eat the right foods and live in a way that boosts your immunity, you look and feel better. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder or just want to take control of your health and increase your energy level, you can take simple steps in the areas of nutrition and detoxification to keep your immune system healthy and happy.

If you love results, then cooking Paleo is for you. Eating Paleo boils down to one simple philosophy: eating real, fresh foods your body is designed to have. Making this lifestyle change work means getting into the kitchen — cooking quality foods, swapping out non-Paleo ingredients, using oils and spices to your best advantage, and revamping your view of snacks.
