This months tips
This months training tips focus on ways to get fit and stay fit!
find time to exercise: Don't make excuses! Make fitness a permanent part of your new lifestyle
Be more active: try to walk more instead of using the care, bus or train and take every opportunity to walk the dog!
exercise regularly and 'service' your body: aim to exercise between two to five times every week - try to make each session last between 20 minutes and an hour. always remember to warm up and cool down before and after exercising and indulge in a regular sports massage to help keep those muscles in good condition
follow a set of realistic fitness goals: don't overdo it at first, gradually build up your fitness to prevent overtraininig and unnecessary injury. remember, results and not instant os stay motivated and be patient.
try to vary your exercise: make sure that your exercise regime covers both aerobic training (such as running, walking or rowing), resistance training (dumbbell work or using your own body weight as resistance in exercises such as press ups and pull ups) and flexibility or stretching.
follow a well - balanced diet: eat healthily and cut out the junk food - never skip breakfast, enjoy a healthy lunch and cut down on the quantity for dinner. try to include at least 5 servings of fresh fruit and vegetables every day.
drink more water: aim to drink at least 2 liters of water a day - and more if you are exercising. don't wait until you are thirsty as this is too late, your body has already become dehydrated.
get motivated! get help!: work with a personal trainer. working with a personal trainer can make the difference between 'just going through the motions' and achieving your true fitness goals. with the help of a personal trainer, you can learn the correct techniques to help you get the most out of your exercise programme.
enjoy it!! most of all, now you've started, keep focused, stay motivated and have fun!!
