Start 2013 off with a BANG!!

Many of us have been indulging on some extra treats, high calorie foods, higher calorie drinks and just foods that are not in our normal diets. Our bodies may have even gotten to the point where we don;t notice the tight feeling in our pants, the bloated stomach or the "backed up" digestive system. It is normal to have this little extra over the holidays but sometimes we lose sight of what "everything in moderation" means at Christmas.
Here are a few tips for you to try and get your body back into its "rhythm" as well as getting some sweat on to help wake you out of that "food/carb coma" and get some energy back;

1) Drink 2-3 litres of water a day! Add lemon for bonus cleanse benefits
2) Be active for 45-60mins a day; this doesn't have to all be in a row and it can be sledding, nature hikes, or working out...just get that heart rate up!
3) Eat lots of veggies, fruits & lean proteins
4) Set some personal goals for yourself in 2013; they don't need to be massive goals but things like taking time for you 3x week to workout/do yoga/jog/walk; run your first 5km, learn to salsa...things like that
5) THEN DO IT!! It's great to think about what you'd like to do but there are MANY people who set goals at New Years but they never come to fruition. If you really want to do those things then do the scary part...COMMIT! 

We have lots of options at Performance Fitness to help with your fitness goals in 2013 and a new weight loss program as well. So whether its toning up, losing some weight, learning how to workout properly so you don't injure yourself, trying a new way of training with the ViPR or meeting some new friends and challenging yourself in a small group training class...we are the place for you.
