Fitness Tip: Rest against weight gain. Adequate beauty rest can help you pass up pick-me-up snacks and head off added pounds.

Fitness Tip: Share The health. Even if you are the most independent exerciser around, give a group fitness class and may find that you enjoy it more.

Fitness Tip: When trying to adopt healthy habits, it’s important to work around other long-standing practices that could sabotage your efforts if overlooked.

Fitness Tip: Finish strong. At the end of every run or bike ride, pick up your pace for the last minute as you would do when you’re finishing a race.

Fitness Tip: Consider retail therapy. Occasionally buy new shoes or gym clothes if it helps revitalise your passion for the gym.
