My Anti-Ageing Fitness Strategy

During my career in the fitness and wellness industry, I have seen many different types of women, from varying ethnic backgrounds, ages, shapes, and sizes.  Each one of them unique.  And each one with their own individual goals.

Inevitably they each wanted to increase their fitness levels, with many hoping to improve their shape.  With an input of time and energy from them, these goals could be reached.  Physical activity will benefit fitness levels, and if the level of activity is high enough, fat loss will be achieved, and muscle tone gained.

    Here are a few tips to avoid making excuses to avoid your anti-aging fitness regime:

    • Make use of your weekends - take time out for yourself and go for a walk or run

    • Be prepared - carry your gym bag or workout shoes in the car with you so if you have a spare 30 minutes

    • Have a Plan B - carry fitness bands, or workout shoes with you so if you can't make the gym, workout at your desk or walk at lunchtime

    • Make working out a family effort - play sports with the kids, cycle with them, run around the oval while they play cricket or football

    • Focus on the rewards and benefits - realise the personal benefits to yourself by increasing fitness levels

    • Prioritise - the housework will still be there when you're done working out

    It is never too late to begin an exercise regime, however you should seek medical advice before commencement.
