Tips For Getting Back Into Shape
Has the silly season got the best of your belly and your clothes feel like they have shrunk!? Yet you don’t want to reduce the alcohol or the afternoon munches... Try smaller serving sizes with all your meals. A better way to look at a serving size is to use your hand.
· A serving of protein (chicken, seafood, and meat) should be approximately the size of the palm of your hand, length and thickness.
· Green vegetables or a mixed salad could be the size of two fists – Are you eating enough of these?
· Carbohydrates such as potatoes, rice or pasta should be served no bigger than the size of your tightly griped fist.
If your new years resolution was to start an exercise program and you have already made the excuse to yourself “I’ll start in February” try one of the 3 tips below.
1. Grab a friend and get moving, whether it be a work mate at lunch, or an afternoon walk with friends!
2. Hire a Personal Trainer to give you a kick start!
3. Ask your boss to get Corporate Fitness trainers to design a team building, health, fitness and wellness program for your whole company.
4. Report to a friend or your partner how many times you plan to exercise in the week and get them to check up on you.
