Getting Active

it's no secret...

As a society, we are less active than ever before – we rely heavily on motorised transport, fill our home and work environments with energy-saving devices, and many of us have sedentary jobs. And in case you haven’t noticed, it’s starting to show!

Despite the resounding message that this isn’t a healthy way to live our life, there is a huge reluctance to change. Why? Because of the misconception that activity and exercise means toil, sweat and tears!

Life is full of pressures and busy routines for most of us. It’s easy to believe that our lifestyle doesn’t have enough flexibility to include activity. Taking time out to visit the gym for an hour every day may be practically impossible, and jogging home after work just isn’t an option for most of us.

But activity doesn’t have to mean hours at a gym – it could be as little as a brisk 5 minute walk to the shops, a stint raking leaves in the garden, playing hopscotch with the kids or a game of Frisbee in the park – it all counts!

body benefits

Being active can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure as well as help protect against osteoporosis and diabetes. It can have positive effects on mood, self-esteem, stress and anxiety levels, and improve sleep, energy levels and general fitness. Wouldn’t it feel great to run for a bus and be able to ask for your ticket without gasping for breath? Or climb a flight of stairs whilst continuing a conversation?

For those of you who are still thinking “I hate exercise, I don’t want to exercise, I’m not going to exercise” the reality is that you don’t have to!

You weren’t expecting that were you?

a match made in heaven!

Food Optimising doesn’t rely on you sweating every evening at the gym, or training for the marathon from day 1, and legwarmers are positively banned! Food Optimising properly without exercise will result in a weight loss – we guarantee it!

But Food Optimising with exercise (as little as getting off the bus a stop early a couple of times a week, or walking up two flights of steps instead of taking the elevator occasionally) will bring even greater results. We call this ‘match made in heaven’ Body Magic.
