Mother's Day Fun Run

- Get moving. Any exercise is better than none. Once you start to build up your fitness, you'll be amazed at how quickly you feel the benefits of a healthier body.
- The best exercise program for you is one you will stick to. Find a routine that works for you, and make it a habit.
- Don’t think of exercise as a duty but as a choice. It’s your time to devote to your body and health because your wellbeing is important to you. Go with a friend, or join a place where the environment is welcoming.
- Bigger muscles create a smaller body. In order to increase your metabolism and achieve permanent weight loss, you must increase your muscle mass. Muscle burns calories so you can actually eat more food without gaining weight, and strength training is the only way to do this.
- Working out should NEVER be painful. Make sure your workout helps -not hurts.
- Don't be a slouch. Stand or sit up straight at your desk, in the car, when shopping! Hold your head up high, and tighten your belly. The more muscles you use during any activity, the more fat burning your body will do.
- Stretch. Stretch in the morning and at night to warm the body up, and relax it after a long day.
- Drink water. Water acts a natural diuretic, and helps flush out your systems of toxins, Coffee, tea, juices and sodas don't count, you need 8 glasses of pure water a day.
- Think small. Set small, specific goals. Goals like ‘losing weight’ or ‘gaining muscle’ are too general. Be more specific - reaching a certain dress size, losing 5 kg. Break your goals into smaller chunks so you can see the results.
- Keep track. Chart your progress to keep track of your workouts and improvements. Whether it's fat loss, building muscle tissue or just feeling better, keeping a log will motivate you.

Remember It's never too late to start!
