Getting fit and slim

You started the year in fine form, made a promise to yourself to get fit and slim, joined a gym and started a diet. But what happened to those gym visits and the lettuce diet? At least half of US who try to get fit and thinner give up after less than a month. Many people blame their failure on lack of time. Lack of willpower was highly important too.

Much of this is down to the way we set unrealistic fitness goals — a flat stomach in eight weeks and a celebrity diet plan - instead of trying the boringly practical long-term fix of exercising a bit more and eating a bit less. Most fitness clubs get an influx of new members from January to March, but theft use of the gym tends to decline after that. So how do you beat the temptation to give up? First, don’t expect to fail as soon as you start - be positive, even if you’ve failed before. Many people are fooled into believing that they need to follow an expensive eating plan. This is simply not true. The answer is to soul-search for the thing that really interests and motivates you. It’s fine to have small motivations, but you should write them down and put them together to make a list of things to keep you going.

You also need to change the way you think about things. Women feel particularly guilty about doing the three- hour-a-week exercise routine, thinking it ‘selfish time’ that takes them away from responsibilities to family and friends. It is better to regard this as vital ‘self-care’ time. People also think three hours is a lot of time out of their week, but we spend around 98 hours a week awake - and the other 95 we are just sitting around.

People tend to give up a fitness regime because

A. they have achieved theft goals.

B. they expect too much of themselves,

C. they become too tired.

D.  they can’t afford to continue.
