Fitness Tip: Make sure your exercise program fits your own personal goals, suits your body type, and is something you can do for life.

Fitness Tip: Simply picking up the pace while walking can do a lot. Five minutes at a slow pace will burn about 13 calories and double that if you speed up.

Fitness Tip: Take the stairs and not the elevator. Stair-climbing will help you burn around 48 calories, and is an amazing workout for your legs and butt.

Fitness Tip: Don’t arrive at a big meal, event or party starving. Have a light snack before you go to an event so you don’t arrive ravenous.

Fitness Tip: There are many ‘reasons’ why you can’t start a fitness program. Put the excuses away, and start focusing on reasons for why you should.
