Top Ten Fitness Tips

Always start with realistic goals

Focus on feeling good instead of watching the bathroom scales

Treat the body with respect, abuse it & it will complain with pain

Train with a buddy where possible for that extra encouragement

Try to eat healthily as much as you can

Enjoy eating those high calorie foods but always in moderation

Aim to get the heart pumping faster for 20 minutes 3 – 4 times per week

Exercise in a way that supports your day-to-day movements – ‘Functional Training’ stretching up, bending down, pushing & pulling

Wear suitable clothing for the exercise you do, trainers especially important if running

If thinking of joining a gym, shop around, look at the facilities, ask for a trial session, look at the qualifications of the Instructor's & consider the costs

… and most importantly - enjoy the experience; feel healthy, more confident & energised

"I am a mid-forties overweight insulin dependent diabetic. Val has painstakingly put together an exercise regime and nutritional diet, but most importantly given me the confidence and encouragement I needed to achieve a healthier life style. I would have no hesitation in recommending Val as a Personal Trainer."

"Hopefully many of you will remember Mr. Motivator, well now meet Mrs. Motivator. Since meeting Val, my outlook on life has changed completely. I remember saying to Val “I can’t run”. With Val’s encouragement, motivation and belief in me I now can run effortlessly. This has given me newfound confidence in myself and a real feel of freedom. I have also channeled this into my everyday life achieving goals and having a positive outlook on life. Take that first step to a new you. Thank you Val."
