Get moving


Exercise is a lifestyle, not something you do three times a week
Thank goodness for gyms. And thank goodness they’re not the only option.

Ø Embrace the change of seasons and get outside. Exercise alfresco and get to know your suburb, your city, your country. Walk, climb, cycle or scoot!
Ø Indulge in random acts of fitness: slide around in socks like a skater; take a 10 minute brisk walk in your lunch hour, take two stairs a time and give the escalator a miss.
Ø Stand as much as possible – when you are chatting on the phone (walk around if it’s a mobile), or simply painting your nails. Move about and use a variety of postures during the day. Your muscles will love you.
