James’ tips to getting moving in the new year: a 6 day plan…
DAY ONE:
Go for a walk and do some deep breathing to clear away the cobwebs.
DAY TWO:
Do some squats, lunges and push-ups. (Check out James’s Clean & Lean Diet or Clean & Lean Flat Tummy Fast! books for exercise plans).
DAY THREE:
Find an exercise buddy to play a game of tennis, badminton, squash – even to walk dogs together. Anything you can do with a friend. Buddying up will help motivate you through the year.
DAY FOUR:
Try something you’ve never done before, whether it’s a new exercise class, new activity or a different route.
DAY FIVE:
Hopefully you’re feeling better and you’re back in the groove by now. Try a 20-minute walk and jog – walk for a minute, jog for 30 seconds. If you can jog for 20 minutes straight, all the better. Finish off with metabolic circuit – squats, lunges, push-ups, dips. Do them all in a row: 20 squats, 15 lunges each leg, 10 push ups, 10 sit ups – with no rest between the sets. Have a minute and a half rest then do the circuit again. You’re exercising your whole body that way.
DAY SIX:
Do something relaxing – yoga, pilates, or have a massage.
