Fitness Programs

Three quarters of young women do hardly any exercise, although most wrongly consider themselves pretty fit and active.

Active For Life is a new campaign aiming to rouse couch potatoes from their laziness. The message is that you don’t have to purchase a wardrobe of lyrca and attend aerobics classes religiously to get fitter. Any exercise, no matter how gentle, is better than none. Dancing counts. Or you could try ’swimming or cycling. Even walking’s better than nothing. So what’s your excuse this time?

‘I don’t have time for exercise.’ Lame. You need to make an effort to fit activity into your daily routine. Try cycling to work, squeezing in a swim at lunchtime or walking to the shops instead of taking the bus.

‘I lead a frantic life.’ It’s the I’m fit enough already’ defence. Are you sure? You may be stressed and busy but try working out how much exercise you’ve actually taken in the last month. You could be surprised.

‘I’m too tired to work out.’ A popular excuse, but it doesn’t wash. Exercise makes you feel more  lively, not less, and the best part is, you’ll begin to notice the  effects immediately.

Fitness clubs and health centers can help you reach your goals sooner.
