How can I do this? Choose healthy foods • Avoid processed high fat food. • Eat healthy fats in moderation, these can include olive and sunflower oil, fish, nuts and seeds. • Select foods that are low in sugar and highly refined carbohydrates. • Eat a variety of food instead of processed foods, such as fruit, vegetables, lean meat, beans, grains, low fat dairy products. Get some exercise! • Start and finish your workout with a cool down of stretching. • Try and go to the gym 3 – 5 times a week. We have a great gym at Hartpury, just visit the Hartpury shop online for details of membership. We will provide you with a full induction to keep you safe. • If the gym is not your thing try walking. Seek out Hartpury Active for all the extra activities that are provided at low or no cost. Avoid unhealthy habits • Try not to yo-yo diet. Once you have lost weight then just keep going with what you have learned rather than having to keep telling yourself you need to lose weight. • Stay away from fad diets. They don’t work and you will just get into that yo-yo state again. • Exercise in moderation – don’t go mad and injure yourself. There are plenty of people at Hartpury to help you manage your exercise programme.
