Better Streatham Ice And Leisure Centre

Let's start thinking of setting some goals for July so that when Monday arrives, we are ready and focused. Why not combine a healthy eating month with a daily cardio blast! Try eating 'clean', i.e. no processed food and no refined sugars. Just fresh fruit, vegetables, grains and pulses - not too difficult in the summer months when you can make big bowls of mixed salad. Be creative and look for recipes on clean eating. Then add 5 minutes of cardio to your day. This is in addition to what you would normally be doing. It can be jogging on the spot, a quick run on the treadmill after your usual class, jumping jacks, etc. Every day of the month! Try it and see the results on 1st August!

Do you sit at a desk all day? Do you do a lot of driving? Maybe you do both? If so, your body needs to mobilise and stretch.

Look after your feet and your body will feel better. Aim to walk barefoot for at least 1 hour a day. Add a Pilates or yoga class, which are practiced barefoot, and you will be walking on air! Walking without shoes or socks helps to release the fascia in the feet, which has an impact on all the muscles of the body! http://better.org.uk/book
