Leading a Healthy Lifestyle

Hi!

A little while ago I posted about my fitness routine and what exercise I had started to engage in. As that was in February I thought I would do a little update as I've made a few lifestyle changes since then. I am still doing a spinning class a week, I'm running and swimming along with a regular gym session too. Its important to remember that your body becomes stronger as you workout so you need to alter your routine as appropriate to your needs and goals. I think its also important to ensure that you are eating the correct foods to enable your body to recover and grow, that being said.......

I am still really enjoying exercising and I am feeling so much happier within myself, fitter and healthier. I have also started to eat better and trying new things which I'm happy about. I have increased my fruit and vegetable intake massively and I'm noticing the difference this is making. Below are some of the things I've eaten in the last week (Hummus with vegetables, mixed salad, stir fry and fajitas). 

It is important to remember not to restrict yourself as this often leads to binging on things and people then often feel guilty about this. Remember a leading a healthy lifestyle means everything in moderation (we all know I love cakes and chocolate!)

I think the key to enjoying exercise is to do something you like and a buddy always helps as you can motivate and encourage each other. I think nice training clothes are good as you will want to wear it, hopefully to exercise in. As well as making sure you have the right tools, as I recently started running I recently purchased these New Balance trainers. I was analysed running on a treadmill to ensure that my purchase would provide the correct support. I can already tell the difference in these new trainers compared to the ones I had been using. My feet have so much more support, they are light and have a foam sole.

A little tip, if you're lacking motivation put your gym stuff on and then decide whether you're going to do it or not!!

Thanks for reading, see you soon
