Regular exercise and weight management
*Exercise is helpful for weight loss and maintaining weight loss. Aerobic exercise can increase metabolism, or how many calories you burn in a day. As part of a balanced exercise session, you should aim to include 20 minutes of aerobic training, and do this at least three times a week. Add a progressive programme of strength training to increase muscle mass and lean tissue, which will also help to burn more calories, and you will have an effective workout programme that will give you great results!
So, to shift belly fat for instance, include aerobic activity to boost the metabolism which will burn more calories, and use strength training to increase the size and efficiency of the muscles that are burning the calories and the fat.
Controlled calorie intake should then tip the balance to a leaner, stronger body!

Posture Check - Added stresses and weight increments placed on the neck when the head tilts forward, is causing bad posture and increasing the pain that goes with it. A common position with the use of mobile phones, laptops and computers is now prevalent in our daily lives as we are spending many hours with the neck in a static, forward flexed position. This constant increase in stress and weight on the spine may eventually cause neck and lower back pain, upper back kyphosis and a forward leaning posture. With this in mind, a little exercise goes a long way. Learn easy exercise techniques to lengthen and strengthen your spine, ease the pain... and stand a little taller!
