Be realistic – trying to lose alot of weight too quickly can leaveyou feeling drained and irritable,while severely restricting caloriescan also undermine your efforts bycausing your body to try and hangon to fat.Dropping weight too rapidlyalso makes you more susceptible toregaining the pounds at the end ofsummer (experts recommend sheddingno more than 2lbs / 0.5kg perweek at the most).2. Eat healthily – we’re cominginto a season with plenty of freshfruit and vegetables available, soit’s sensible (and tasty) to make themost of this in your meals andsnacks. Looking for wholegrainproducts and reducing the amountof saturated fat and sugar you eatwill also help build a better balance.3. Get moving – you won’t loseweight unless you burn off morecalories than you consume, sobeing active is an important part ofgetting in shape. With the weathergetting warmer (hopefully!), youcan get your cardiovascular exerciseby heading outside for activitieslike walking, gardening,cycling and playing with the kids.Try for thirty minutes of moderatecardio exercise five times a week.4. Be strong – exercising to loseweight isn’t just about jogging oraerobics. Doing some strengthtraining will not only lead to moretone and less jiggle, but also boostsyour weight loss efforts by increasingthe rate at which your bodyburns calories – and ladies, it willnot make you look like arnie! aimto train each major muscle group inthe body at least two days eachweek.5. Feel good – eating healthilyand working out will help you feelbetter about the way you look – andthat can make all the difference!Remember – if you haven’trecently been involved in exerciseand /or have health concerns talk toyour doctor before becoming moreactive.If you would like more helpwith getting in shape then contactpersonal trainer Liz Burfield(liz@getupandgofitness.co.uk /07779 724818).
