Get in Shape this season!
This season brings with it the drawing down of this current year, and rings in the arrival of the New Year. With all the memories you’re going to be making, photographs are going to be clicked by the dozen – and you definitely want to look your best! Here are a bunch of things you can do to get into and stay in shape this season:
1. Set a reasonable goal and target it with dedication. Don’t look towards losing 20 kilos in a month – that’s crazy! Make sure to focus on losing inches and on fewer kilos rather than to look to knocking off by the larger numbers.
2. Cook and freeze, defrost and eat. This will help you avoid eating a lot of fast food and processed food – especially on days on which you know you are going to be busy.
3. Exercise, exercise, exercise! Always make sure that you keep those calories burning and keep your body in good shape. Don’t allow the winter to take you over and forget to exercise.
4. Keep yourself hydrated. Just because it is winter, it doesn’t mean that you can slacken and forget to keep your water content in order.
5. Cut back on salt – the more salt you ingest, the greater the chances of water retention and bloating.
6. Workout indoors if you can, especially with such things as strength training, yoga and Pilates, so that your bones and joints move, and you remain limber and strong as ever.
7. Keep your skin healthy and supported with cold cream, winter moisturizers and other nutritive skin cleansers to avoid clogged pores, zits and allergies.
8. Never neglect to keep your body free of fungus. With winter, dampness in your clothing, particularly after laundry, can be harmful to your skin. Always air out your clothes well – using a drier, and then wear them.
