Health and fitness tips for September

  • Try a dance class, Salsa, Flamenco or belly dancing! You could even have fun with the kids and have a short family class in the garden. You can burn on average 50 calories just on a low level 15 minutes of Salsa!
  • Go for a fifteen minute jog with the kids while on they go on their scooters. Everybody gets to have fun, move their bodies and get fit together!
  • Drop the fizzy and beat that bloat.. instead of fizzy drinks, try a whole week drinking water and pure juices instead of mixed sugary fizzy drinks, herbal teas instead of tea and coffee and notice how much more energy you have.
  • Try having healthy BBQ's at the weekends, have salad and quinoa options instead of white rolls and blend your own juices or smoothies.
  • Try ten minutes of meditation each day for the month, just sit quietly and try and still the mind, focus on the breath.
  • Omelette options; for lunch try having a healthy omelette once a week instead of the usual sandwich, add vegetables to load up on lovely nutrients packed with protein and a nice change from the norm.
  • Have an evening of playing a board game, it will get you away from the T.V and is good for family time, and you will certainly have more laughs.
  • Keep a daily diary showing quality family time when everyone is together each week, try and add more family time each week doing something positive.
