Fitness Tip: Realise that your exercise and your diet are connected. Consistently burn more than you consume and you will be on your way to weight loss.

Fitness Tip: Never go more than two days in a row without exercise. This applies to your holidays too! If you do, it will be hard to get back into routine.

Fitness Tip: Workout in the morning. When you get your workout in first thing, you are less likely to skip exercise, because you may get tired later in the day.

Fitness Tip: Follow the 80/20 rule. Eat healthy 80 percent of the time. Indulge occasionally, but make sure most of your choices are healthy.

Fitness Tip: If you take medication, avoid taking it after you work out. The drugs may actually suppress muscle growth when taken after a workout.
