Build exercise into your commute to and/or from work. Run, Cycle, Walk all or some of the journey. Get off the bus a stop early, park further from work, keep change of fresh clothes at work etc. Great for body and mind and saves money too.
Preparation

"Before anything else, preparation is the key to success": Alexander Graham Bell.
In order to achieve your health and fitness goals, preparation is crucial. This is especially true with regard to your nutrition. This image shows my daily nutritional preparation with numerous tupperware and storage tubs, which I put my meals and snacks in for the day ahead. I prepare this the evening before and it usually does not take me more than 10-15mins. By doing this I know exactly what I am eating and 'fueling' myself with and also I can easily access my food and have a snack every 2-3 hours. This ensures that I am not going to eat the 'wrong' foods if I get hungry e.g. empty calories like sweets, cakes, crisps etc, and also ensures that I am not leaving long gaps between eating and then risk overheating due to being hungry. I stress to my clients the importance of being prepared and planning your nurition on a daily basis and how it will become routine and part of your lifestyle. The image does not show the fruit that I have during the day e.g. pear, banana, apple, the bottles of water that I take with me every day to ensure I do not become dehydrated and my eveing meal.
Be prepared and get into good habits in order to achieve your health and fitness goals. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask me.
Keep up the great work

"Matt has been really accommodating as I bring my baby with me each week, so he incorporates exercises using my pram. My little one loves being out and Matt is great with him! I can't recommend Matt highly enough to mums who want to get their fitness back."
