Health & Nutrition: Getting Fit for Summer

BournemouthTown has searched the country for a leading health professional to give his expert opinion on great ways to get fit and improve nutrition.

We grabbed a moment in the busy schedule of Personal Trainer, Lifestyle Consultant and Nutritional Advisor Simon Lovell.

Regardless of where you are in your life, at what level of fitness - there's no doubt that Bournemouth is a fantastic place to get in shape, and whether there's a slight bulge on your belly or you're desperately trying to improve your health for your children's sake, I've got some great tips to help you along the way.

The most important part of getting in shape and staying there is about seeing results and keeping up variety, building into a part of your lifestyle. Not everybody reacts well to the same kind of exercise - and for most it's about learning to be specific about your goals and training according to where you want to be.

You need to find out what is the most practical exercise for you. It's vital that this is something you'll be able to stick at in the longer term. The great thing about Bournemouth is that there are so many options available to you. If you're someone who has never undertaken proper exercise before, then you may want to start by taking up a sport you enjoy watching, such as football, netball, tennis, or badminton. On the other hand, how about something a bit more adventurous like indoor rock climbing? Whatever you do, you should make it a regular weekly activity and involve other people that can motivate you.
