New Season, New Start
It’s the New Year, so if you’re thinking about a healthy start, here’s a few tips to help you on your way from health and fitness expert, Jo Williams
#1 Get the diary out and make some time for you
It’s not as easy as it sounds, believe me, with hectic work, school and life schedules but it makes such a difference, trust me. We all need some time to ourselves. So, start by scheduling a meeting with yourself. Aim for 30 minutes to an hour and for best results, try to get that locked in your diary, three to five times a week. Sounds a lot, but you’ve got to look after yourself before you can look after everyone else.
#2 Get Appy with your help
If you’re not sure how to start, have a look at what Apps are out there. There are lots to choose from which can help you on your journey and can be completely tailored to your goals. I recommend using Nike training or 0 to 5K. However, if you still need that extra nudge, engaging a personal trainer can be key and you don’t have to sign your life away. You can ask them to help you with anything from creating workouts to one-on-one sessions. It is important that you get on with them though, so bear that in mind!
#3 Start slowly
You may prefer to just add some little extras to your daily walk and build from there adding in some hills or steps - your muscles need to gradually feel the benefits and gain condition and strength. Important- exercise even when you don’t want to, it’s amazing how much better you feel when you get your endorphins and blood flowing round the body. And it’s even better with your own killer playlist which can really help to get you through. Mine is an upbeat eighties delight, or not, but it does the trick.
