NEW CLASSES FOR NEXT YEAR AND HOW TO COMMIT TO THEM
I hope you have had an amazing Christmas and are looking forward to a fun New Year, this is a great time to think about making your health and fitness plans for next year.
If you do not exercise at the moment don't over commit to your new exercise regime because you won't be successful as it may not be manageable around family, work and other commitments.
The best thing to do is join one class which you can do every week and then when this has become a new habit and you do it without thinking about it you are ready to join another.
My New Classes For Next Year Are:-

Wednesday Morning Online Weight Training Class
Beginner and Intermediate Classes, learn how to use weights correctly and effectively to get stronger, fitter, help to control hormone levels and menopause symptoms, improve mood and confidence and help improve and alleviate many other health conditions. You will also get a recording of this class so you can repeat it in the week if you have time.

Friday Morning Online Fat Burn & Tone Class
Suitable for all fitness levels and ages as easier and harder exercises are shown, using body weight, resistance bands and cardio moves you will increase fitness, strength and tone whilst blasting away body fat. This class is recorded so if you miss it you can do it during the week.
Tuesday Evening Circuit Training at Haybridge Sports Centre (Not New)
This class has been running for the past 16 years and is a very friendly, social group where you will be able to increase fitness, strength and tone whilst burning fat in a relaxed environment.
If you would like more info on any of the above please let me know by return or on 07903 956421, also see www.lifestylepersonaltrainingandfitness.co.uk and Lifestyle Personal Training & Fitness, Hagley
May I wish you all a very happy New Year and I look forward to seeing you in 2026.

STAY ON TRACK BUT REMEMBER IT'S A TIME TO RELAX AND ENJOY
I hope some of the tips I have shared with you this month have been useful to help you stay on track over the festive period and at least one of them will stick in your mind over Christmas.
Continue with the exercise I have given you as this is going to help to balance out any extra calories you eat, this can also be done by a couple of big days of Christmas shopping, dancing all night at the Christmas party or some long walks in the fresh air. May I wish you all a very merry Christmas and please feel free to ask any questions below or contact me directly on 07903 956421

ARGH IT'S THE BUFFET!
Here it comes that scary buffet where we don't know what to choose and can't seem to keep away from, ok you need to be strong.
Visit the buffet once, choose about 6 things that you are really going to enjoy and DO NOT RETURN. Great healthy options to go for are chicken, nuts, guacamole, if there is salad fill part of your plate with that, if you want to choose other options (you are mean't to be enjoying yourself) that is fine, just remember pastry has a lot of fat calories so watch out for vol au vents and sausage rolls. Remember to visit only once and then put your plate down and go and mingle or boogie some calories away.

STAY HEALTHY OVER CHRISTMAS - Time For More Exercise
Try and do 10 minutes a day.
After a quick warm up:-
1 Minute of Jogging on the Spot
1 Minute of Jumping Jacks or Low Impact Side Lunge
1 Minute of Sit Ups or Crunches
1 Minute of Spotty Dog
1 Minute of High Knees
If you want to do more take 1 minute rest and repeat all of the above.
If you are new to exercise try just 30 seconds of each exercise, take a minutes rest at the end and repeat again if you want to.

CHRISTMAS LEFT OVERS - "DON'T USE YOURSELF AS THE BIN!!!"
How many times have you hoovered up the kids left over fish fingers or dessert because we don't like to see waste, or eaten left over cake to get it out of the way?
All you are doing is using yourself as the bin it would be far easier to bin that food than try to work the calories off after. At Christmas there will be lots of left overs so you can freeze some of them or may be give them to the friends you have enjoyed the meal with to take home. What ever you do don't just eat those last 5 sausage rolls just to get them out the way.

GET SOME CHRISTMAS CALORIE CREDITS WITH THIS WORKOUT !!!!
We can all find 5 minutes in our day so here is a plan to strengthen, tone and burn calories, which you could do every day or if you have a little longer than 5 minutes repeat it 2 or 3 times for more benefit:-
Warm up for a couple of minutes or if you have come in from a walk you can begin straight away
1 Minute of Press Ups (you can do these on your knees or full)
1 Minute of Squats
1 Minute of Dolphin Raise (Lie face down with hands at the side of your head, whilst looking down lift your upper body off the floor squeezing your shoulder blades together, pause and then lower)
1 Minute of Lunges
1 Minute of Crunches
1 Minute of rest and repeat all of the above if you have time.

ARE YOU PUSHING YOURSELF HARD ENOUGH TO KEEP SEEING RESULTS?
When we first start weight training we will make strength gains quickly but will then plateau.
Upping your weights as you get stronger is important to keep your body guessing. The last few reps of each set should be a struggle – if they're not, it might be time to think about increasing your weight.
