Tips for the body

Your body needs exercise - but small changes can have a positive impact

«Your30» (30 minutes of physical activity a day) provides great health benefits. You should get a little hot and out of breath, but you don't need to train really hard to feel the difference.

1.

Set a goal

The goal must be concrete, realistic and something you really want to achieve. It must be YOUR goal - not anyone else's.

2.

Make a plan

Make a weekly plan and write WHAT to do, WHEN to do it and, potentially, WHO you've agreed to do it with. Pack any kit you need the night before.

3.

Expect setbacks and obstacles

It's going to rain / something else has just cropped up. What SHOULD you do when that happens? (Because it is going to happen.)

4.

Make "unbreakable" rules,

'such as "I must walk for at least 30 minutes every day after dinner. Rules and routines eat willpower for breakfast. You don't have to waste energy deciding whether to train every single time.'

5.

Summarize the week

Did it go brilliantly, badly or just kind of average? Give yourself a pat on the back anyway. Don't be too hard on yourself, remember that ANYTHING is better than nothing!
