With the modern lifestyle of the long day at work, long commute and busy personanel life keeping fit is becoming harder and harder. There are some basic facts you can follow to ensure you increase your fitness.

The most important thing you can do for yourself is to achieve the most basic level of fitness.

Fact 2

It does not take much to be fit.

Fact 3

You do not have to have gym membership or have access to a personal trainer or carry out cross-training, you just need to walk regularly.

Fact 4

All it takes is a modest amount of regular walking – say 30 minutes a day, five times a week – to reap huge benefits not only for your physical health but your mental health as well.

What is more the 30 minutes of walking can be split up into three 10 minute sessions!

Fact 5

It is not what you weigh – it is where you wear it – so a bit of extra weight is not such a problem as long as if you are a man your waist does not measure more than 40 inches and if you are a woman your waist does not measure than 35 inches

Measuring your waist:

Measure your waist by wrapping a flexible measuring tape around the natural waist (in between the lowest rib and the top of the hip bone) or at the belly button.

Keep the tape parallel to the floor.
