Top Tips

1. Exercise with friends – a great way to catch up and make training sessions fun!

2. Keen to stay at home on dark nights – why not if you take a fast and furious 30min training session at lunchtime!!

3. Allow your body to recover if you have a cold or flu. You will not reap any rewards by exercising when actually you should be resting.

4. Indulge in this time to think about new exercises to incorporate into your future workouts.

5. Keep hydrated at all times! Exercise performance can be severely limited in those suffering from dehydration.

6. Restock energy levels after a hard workout to maximise recovery time. Chose a carbohydrate based snack - our favourites include an energy boosting banana, ryvita with cream cheese or glass of fresh fruit juice!
