  1. 9 Tips To Get Fit While Gardening

    Comment
    Lockdowns helped us to appreciate our gardens like never before. Confined to our homes our gardens became our saviours!  With travel plans still uncertain for this year, it would seem we are destined to spend more time in our gardens again this year – weather permitting!! Besides the obvious benefits of stress relief and good food or beautiful plants, you can also use your garden to keep you fit! Try these techniques to get fit while gardening: Grab a brush and sweep. If you see a few fallen leaves laying on the floor of your garden, grab a brush and sweep them away. Sweeping could burn as many as 200 calories per hour.

    Comment
      Have you caught yourself piling on a few extra pounds as you’ve got older? Are your old dieting tricks no longer working as they did? Most people find that staying in shape gets harder with age, but this is no reason to despair. Once you understand how and why it’s happening, you’ll be better placed to tackle it effectively. Metabolic changes Everybody’s metabolism gradually slows down with age. This has some advantages – it’s one reason why elderly people are more likely to survive in the rubble after earthquakes than young, healthy people, because they can survive for longer without food. If you’re getting plenty of food, however, it can be a problem. The first course of action is to cut down your portion sizes and reduce saturated...

  4. Tips for Taking Online Exercise Classes

    Comment
    Lockdown has changed how we live and how we approach exercise. Are you struggling with making the switch to online fitness classes? Across the country,  gyms are closed and when they reopen are likely to be operating at reduced capacity. This situation is likely to continue because exercise facilities pose special health challenges due to crowded spaces and heavy breathing. Still, there are some advantages. You can say goodbye to commuting across town or waiting in line to shower. The extra privacy may be nice, too, if you feel self-conscious working out in a crowded room. If a traditional fitness class doesn’t appeal – then why not try an online dance class? Most importantly, you can get an effective workout at home. ...
