So it was National Fitness Day yesterday and The Slimming Clinic wants you to get active! As we all know fitness plays a large role in our health, so making sure you get that 30 minutes of exercise in is essential to living a healthy life.
National fitness day encourages the nation to celebrate the fun side of fitness and physical activity, so why not get your families and co-workers to get involved too?* In this blog we will be giving you a few ideas to make sure you’ll be getting your daily dose of exercise even if you’re behind an office desk. Don’t forget that exercise isn’t just going to the gym, there’s plenty other FUN ways to enjoy working out.
- Walk or bike to work – Instead of driving try walking or cycling to work to burn those extra calories.
- Family park day – Take the kids for a couple of hours in the park, make sure to bring a football with you!
- Try a new exercise class – Use today as an excuse to try something new. Try a dance or yoga class to mix it up.
- Try a HIIT Circuit – High Intensity Interval Training. These circuits make sure your body doesn’t plateau during exercise, burning those calories quickly and effectively!
- Rock climbing – This is quite an unorthodox way of getting your fitness in but let us tell you that rock climbing is one of the best arm and back workouts ever!
- Boxing – Try a boxing class this international fitness day. Boxing is a massive stress reliever, not only will you be a sweaty betty but you’ll also be having a stress relief session without realising!
- Don’t meet for coffee – When somebody asks you to go for a coffee try suggesting something active e.g. hiking, volleyball, tossing a frisbee.
- Swimming – Swimming is a great way to burn a lot of calories as you’re working out all your body parts.
- Try our online The Slimming Clinic exercise tracker –Our exercise tracker helps keep track of what exercises you do and allows you to set yourself exercise targets. You can also try downloading a pedometer on your phone to count your steps. Give yourself daily targets to motivate yourself further!
Hopefully these ideas will inspire you to try something new today.
