Simple steps to shape up
Eating healthily is a positive step towards getting in shape.
Eating less calories, less junk and healthy foods will help you manage your weight and will also make you feel better. But you can do more to help yourself get into better shape and lose weight.
Mention the word ‘exercise’ and some people run a mile – the exercise fanatics run 10 miles just to show they can. But remember our principle that our changes should all be sensible and sustainable.
If you are not doing much exercise then do not charge headlong into a mad training regime. You may injure yourself and you will almost certainly find that after an initial wave of enthusiasm you 'burn out' and give up as sore muscles and low energy stop you in your tracks. If you are already doing a lot of exercise to crank it right up is also unwise. You will suffer similar consequences.
The key is to gradually build up. A great way of doing this is to walk more. Walking will burn calories but not be as demanding as running or other forms of exercise. Leave the car at home, park a short walk from your destination or get off the bus a stop early. Think of ways to introduce a few extra minutes of walking a few times each day. It will add up.
You can also build up any exercise you are already doing. Exercise burns calories and raises your metabolism which makes weight loss easier. As you get fitter you are able to do more. This means you can burn more calories and get fitter – so you can do more. If you progress at a sensible rate a virtuous cycle develops.
If you want to know more about sensible exercise you can look at our coaching section. It is possible to use this to have a training routine that is suited to you and your current level of activity drawn up. The training schedule drawn up with Sonia O'Sullivan can be made up of walking, walking and running or running. You can choose the days you want to train on and decide how much you want to do.
You can also discuss diet and weight loss on our forum.
