FITNESS, FOOD & FAME!

I'm off to London on Thursday for a photo shoot for the Daily Mirror! They are doing an article on women who are fitter in their 50's than they were in their 20's - and I definately fit the bill!
This prompted me to share some information on eating & exercise.....
All of my clients do some form of exercise - it's a well known fact that a healthy diet combined with regular exercise is the best way to get fitter, have more energy, lose weight and generally feel fantastic!
Whatever time of day you exercise you should eat something before hand, and always drink plenty of water during and after to stay hydrated.
Mornings? Try to eat 20-30 mins before you start, even if it's simple food like a banana or a yoghurt when you wake up.
During the day? If it's a few hours since your last meal have a snack like a handful of dried fruit & unsalted nuts for energy.
Evenings? Aim to have your last meal 1-2 hours before you workout. Include wholegrains (brown rice or pasta), protein (lean meat, chicken, fish or eggs) and plenty of vegetables.
Whatever time you choose, and whatever you do, ensure you eat something afterwards, ideally within an hour. Your body will replenish used up energy stores, so give it something really healthy back, like a fresh fruit or vegetable smoothie.

Happy exercising!
