Your FREE Local Magazine

JUNE 2016 I 30,000 COPIES

Welcome to your Lytham St Annes Magazine...

The weather seems to be playing our tune in June, a great start to the summer!

As you may be aware, we’ve been trialling sponsored covers over the last three months and after evaluating the feedback overall, have decided that our great front covers should not be distracted by adverts! As it takes focus and identity away from your local magazine, so will be returning to normal as per our next edition.

KEEP IT LOCAL! Please support your local businesses and all those that contribute to each magazine. All the local events featured are advertised FREE but this wouldn’t be possible without your support.

Congratulations to our ‘SPOT the Ad’ Winner: Diana Pidwell – £50 is on its way to you! For your chance to win £50, please check out our new competition inside.

Our new Vegan Print business offers very competitive ethical printing to businesses across the Fylde Coast and beyond. You can find out more at www.veganprint.co.uk

How to COMMIT to a

Healthier Lifestyle

In order to lose weight, we should eat fewer calories and move about more…

It seems so simple, if only it was that easy! Some people have more motivation, better willpower and less stress in their lives, while others struggle with shedding the pounds while negotiating the obstacle course called life. With summer round the corner, now is the time to make some lifestyle changes.

How do you make a start when you are feeling overwhelmed by the size of the task? How do you stick to the plan long enough to achieve the desired result?

And how do you cope with setbacks?

Set goals...

If you don’t set a destination, how will you know when you get there? Once you know what you want to achieve, break it down to more manageable steps. Your personal trainer, sports coach or weight loss instructor can help you with this, as well as with keeping you on course.

Eat protein...

A sufficient amount of protein is necessary for many aspects of health and it also helps with appetite control by keeping you fuller for longer.

34

Don’t ban foods, find alternatives...

Don’t ban whole food groups from your diet.

Resolutions such as “I am done with wine/ chocolate from tomorrow” will only lead to cravings. Instead, identify the culprits that sabotage your dieting efforts and replace them with a healthier option once a day. It is much easier to replace a cheese topping with a few slices of fresh tomato, than to give up cheese altogether. Keep the wine or chocolate in your eating plan, but learn to exercise control over where and when you have your treats.

Make your portions smaller...

The easiest way to do this is to use smaller plates and fill at least a third of your plate with vegetables.

Start with small steps...

When starting a new healthy eating plan, take small steps first. A radical clear-out of food cupboards is the easy part; sticking to eating vegetables every day can be more daunting.

Resolve to eat vegetables with one meal a day to start with, and have a fresh fruit snack when you fancy something sweet. You can always go more radical later.

Find a way to enjoy activity...

Personal trainers despair over clients who force themselves to go for a run when they clearly ‘hate’ running. It really pays in the long term to find the type of exercise you enjoy. Try at least three

ADVERTISE - Book Online www.link-mag.co.uk 0800 970 7687 or sales@link-mag.co.uk

Health & Fitness different classes or have a go at a sport before you make a decision. A decade ago it may have raised eyebrows if you were middle-aged and wanted to join a ballet class, try gymnastics or visit a kickboxing club but these days anything goes.

Educate yourself...

If you don’t know what to eat or how to exercise, ask a professional. We can’t all be experts at everything. A professional will be glad to help and will have compassion – they know the pitfalls and have experience in handling the struggles their clients go through.

“I hate gyms...”

This is a common excuse used to avoid doing anything, but gyms are much more than just roomfuls of scary machines. Book a session with a trainer in the gym before you decide whether you like gyms or not. Once you know how to use various kinds of equipment, chances are you will enjoy it. Additionally, being surrounded by other people exercising can be motivating, and you will go home feeling much better than you would if you had just stayed in watching TV. Besides, most gyms now offer a timetable of varied classes, so everyone can find something they like.

Remember, it is the gym manager’s job to work out what the customers want in their local gym.

Gardening counts...

If you dislike exercise, just accept it and find an alternative. Whether it is gardening, house chores or walking the dog, it all counts. Taking frequent breaks from sitting at the desk, standing up whenever you are on the phone, or doing press ups during advert breaks are just some of the examples of how to break up the cycle of inactivity.

Get a training buddy...

When you arrange to meet up with someone in the park or in the gym, it is harder to find excuses.

Having an exercise buddy will encourage you to stick to your routine.

rather than physical. Commit to doing 5 minutes.

Chances are you will feel better and want to continue, but if you don’t, at least you will have done a few minutes. And that is better than nothing at all.

Add the rhythm...

To get into the mood for exercise, listen to music with a lively beat or set your iPod or phone to wake you with your favourite track to get you going first thing in the morning.

Do both cardio training and weights...

Cardiovascular activity appropriate to your level of fitness is needed to burn off body fat and get you fit: the fitter you get, the easier it will be to lose weight.

But don’t skimp on strength training. Weights or own body exercises such as press ups, squats and abdominal crunches are vital to keep your muscle mass intact. More muscle means easier fat burning.

Remember your health...

The more you exercise and the harder your workouts are, the more you need to rest. Good sleep, sufficient recovery time and nourishing food to supply the vitamins and minerals are necessary to keep you going. Learn to spot the signs of overtraining and if you get ill, get better before you resume training. This applies to colds as well as sports injuries. You are likely to pay for it later if you train with a heavy cold or a sore knee.

Train your mind too...

Professional athletes train their minds as much as their bodies to manage their negative thinking patterns and counterproductive emotions. Dealing with negative emotions does not mean suppressing how you feel - acknowledging that you feel frustrated or angry can help keep you away from that tub of ice cream or bottle of wine.

When you hit an obstacle, suffer a loss or simply lose motivation, having the mental and emotional skills will help you get back on track rather than give up.

Whether you get a counsellor, try NLP (neurolinguistic programming) or talk to your coach, If you struggle to get started with exercise after where the mind goes, the body follows.35 a tiring day at work, it could be mental tiredness ADVERTISE - Book Online www.link-mag.co.uk 0800 970 7687 remember or sales@link-mag.co.uk
