Fitness Facts
Cutting out 10 calories a day will see you lose around 1lb of weight in a year - that's just 2 teaspoons of sugar!
Inadequate sleep negatively affects many hormones which cause fat gain - aim to get around 8hrs a night.
Eating healthy fats (in moderation!) helps you to lose fat - include avocado, nuts and oily fish in your diet.
Drinking water boosts your metabolism - as much as 30% for 500ml of cold water on an empty stomach.
Women will never gain the same muscle mass as men - don't be shy of the dumbells ladies, they'll tone you!
6 small meals a day are better than 3 large ones - you'll keep your metabolism up and avoid energy slumps.
Training with weights burns more fat than aerobic exercise alone - aim to combine the two.
Cheating is ok! An occasional chocolate bar or packet of crips won't make you fat, but one every day will!
