Fit is the new thin - 2

The second week of the Sunday Times ‘Fit – not - Thin’ campaign tells us how off-putting some gyms can be – well, we know that our village gym is far from off putting. Its where big fit men move the cable pin for small ladies who are not yet strong enough to yank the anchor point up and down. Its where young boys learn exercises from older men, its where we all know it can be tough but we are in it together. One regular gym goer reports in this week’s article that she feels more toned, has more energy, is less stiff and sleeps better. Quite an outcome if you ask me! Sunday Times top tips? • Music – if you are not a lover of the music in the gym – pop your head phones in and listen to a track of your years! We have Friday wind down music in the gym – those of us in their after about 5.30 pm need to de stress – the music we choose definitely helps! • training with someone – drag your friends and family along – much more difficult to duck out of coming and easier when you get there as you can pull each other along. • set realistic goals – you can always review them when you reach them – if they seem insurmountable then you might feel that you just can’t ever get there • stay happy – oh yes, the power of positive thought! Never underestimate how important this is If you need any help with these top tips – just get in touch – we can help you
