Fitness

OK, lets assume you’re not very fit, perhaps a little overweight and beginning to feel life should be better than this. Well you’re on the right page.

What being fit means

Being fit means being able to do the everyday things you want to do:

• play with the children,
• dance all night,
• take part in that charity event or
• simply feel better.

Being fit also means minimising the likelihood of getting many of the common diseases associated with todays modern lifestyle of poor diet and low activity.

Make a date!

Put a regular slot in your diary, on your calendar or even on your mobile phone to remind you it’s exercise time.

A 30 minute jog before breakfast, 20 minute walk in the park at lunch time or a regular gym class are all good habits to get in to. And if life gets in the way and you miss one you already have the next one planned so it’s no problem.

Don’t be a fanatic!

Regular exercise is a vital component of all these things. You don’t have be a fanatic, in fact it’s best if your not, but you will have do some work and surprisingly the more you do the better you will feel. The human body is a fantastic thing and will adapt to the stresses and strains you put on it (within reason).
