January – After the disruption of Christmas, now is the perfect time to build exercise into your day – before you slip into the old routine of not having exercise as part of your day. Even better put your trainers and exercise gear beside your bed so you put those on first rather than a dressing gown – it will inspire you and you have one less hurdle to overcome to start your exercise!

February - Weight training for ladies is one of the best ways to improve your body shape, boost your confidence and improve your mood  after the Christmas excesses - and it doesn’t mean you end up with huge muscles. Check your technique with a professional personal trainer or instructor to get the most out of your exercise time and avoid injury.

March – Do you know that often many people spend more time thinking about starting their exercise session than it would take to actually do the session? As long as the exercise session stays in your mind you won’t get fitter or feel more energised. Stop thinking and start doing – it’s really that simple.

April – Take time out by eating an orange for breakfast! By sitting at a table and peeling an orange you have to stop and relax during the morning rush to get to work. You also get one of your ‘five a day’, avoid tooth erosion from the acid in your carton fruit juice and increase your fibre intake. Time to head off to the shops?
