Get Fit With Team Sports!

Get Fit With Team Sports! Fitness Programs Every January it's the same. 'New Year, New me' we say, but by Valentine's day all our best intentions have fallen by the wayside. But this year I'm going to stick to my regime by participating in team sports, as they give you a great work out, allow you to socialise, and appeal to your competitive streak. Another motivating thing about team sports is that if you don't go, unlike the gym, it's not just yourself your letting down but also the team. This really makes me want to go, as although i think nothing of letting myself or my fitness down, my dedication to those around me guilts me into it! So, now your thinking 'hmmm, maybe team sports are for me after all', which team sport should you do? Well here are my top 5: Basketball: Very popular across the pond, but gaining a real following here in the UK, basketball is a fast paced game, and the time seems to fly by when ever i play.

Keeping Fit With Family

Keeping Fit With Family Fitness Programs  Why is keeping fit so simple for my children, but a challenge for my husband and I? To my children, exercise means chasing each other, playing hide-and-go-seek, jumping and playing at the park. To kids, keeping fit is fun, as not much thought is put into exercise. Exercise means something altogether different to me. When I was in college and throughout my 20s, fitness was a priority. Going to the gym was a regular habit, much like praying. Living in the city meant you walked everywhere. Healthy eating, which included Organic foods, was fairly easy to do. However, once I started having children, exercise became much more of a challenge. Many things can get in the way of it, such as family responsibilities, work and running a household. Now that I have hit 40 and my doctor wants to check my cholesterol, bone density, etc., exercise is a necessity. Health and weight were never issues to think about years ago, but somehow the years hav

Drive Your Life! Set Some Goals For 2015

Drive Your Life! Set Some Goals For 2015 The holiday break is of course a great time to spend with family, to indulge a little and recharge the batteries. It is also a good time to take a few minutes and think about how 2014 worked out for you, and what you might want to achieve in 2015. If you set some goals in 2014 how did you do against those goals? What could you do differently in 2015? If you did not have goals then how do you feel about 2014? Was it everything that you could have wanted? I used to think that setting goals was too much hassle and to be honest when I did not meet a goal (which was often) then I would be hard on myself. Why would I put myself through that guilt and hassle if I didn't need to? After a few years I realized that (a) I achieved more if I actually set out with goals; (b) I was able to reconcile myself that even if I missed a goal, it was better than not having had one in the first place!

Fitness Programs / A Diet Fitness Program That's Effective For You

A Diet Fitness Program That's Effective For You Fitness Programs  Flexitarian Diet: There are numerous diets to choose from but in my opinion the Flexitarian is one that really works the most efficiently. The word itself is the marriage of two words – ‘Flexi' meaning flexible and ‘itarian' a shortening of vegetarian. So although it is mainly vegetarian, you are allowed to eat red meat, chicken etc. now and then when you feel the urge. Balance is the key to everything and the Flexitarian diet is just that; using a variety of foods to keep it interesting with delicious mouth-watering recipes to keep you satisfied. These include what is classed as the "new meat" tofu, beans, lentils, peas, nuts, seeds and eggs. Also, whole grains, vegetables, fruits and dairy.
