The age-old question of how to get your sweet little bum into gear – really this time – keeps re-occurring. You can watch those Pilates DVDs from your couch and think about doing that 5 mile run tomorrow until the cows come home. It will account to not much more than thinking about taking a flight without buying a ticket. The truth according to acclaimed philosopher Mark Wahlberg still holds true: “No Pain, no Gain.“ Good news: it takes about 2 minutes per hour to generate a positive effect on your health. Find out how and read on…
Being active tends to go hand in hand with passive support. While football fans will have to make do with a rather uneventful summer, fans of the women’s world cup can enjoy the big football fest in a fitting supporters’ shirt . There’ll be more sport on TV to add a bit of telly action to your daily dose of netflix series and reruns in 2015. First the Tour de France offers some degree of hope for a clean British winner, then there’s Wimbledon and Andy Murray, and later the European basketball championship will kick off in September. In November, the long wait for physical team action will be rewarded with the rugby world cup on English soil, may it be dry and not too soggy!
But now for what we promised earlier, a quick guide to making you active, sporty and healthy. Better than losing a bit of sweat over the team you support on TV is developing a regular habit of little daily workouts. Try using the “7 Minute Workout“ App that’s gathering dust on your smartphone would be the first sound piece of advice. Keeping your body in motion for at least two minutes at least once an hour will greatly help increase your fitness and burn some of those redundant calories. Take a long walk through the office, walk up and down a flight of stairs, do some squats in the broom cupboard – but do something. And if you have the time, go for a run before or after work. Join a gym and never walk past it when you see it. A fitness tracker would be a sensible investment as well. And, last but not least, buy some new gear for an extra token of motivation. Tank tops for men and women will get the sporty mood off the ground. And drink lots of water, 2 to 3 litres a day. Have a drinking bottle on the go.
