Getting Fit & Staying Active
Staying fit and active is the single most important way you can ensure your body keeps working just as it should do. While supplements like Build-up can give you a real boost, its important you enjoy them as part of a healthy active lifestyle to make sure you keep getting the best results, day in day out.
Keep Fit
Physical activity needn’t mean pounding the treadmill or flailing about in a gym class with loud music and shouty instructors. With just a little bit of thought you’ll be able to incorporate moderate exercise into your day. With so little fuss and inconvenience you’ll barely notice you're working out at all – until you start to feel the difference that is!
Top Tips For No Fuss Fitness
- Try to use the stairs rather than the lift
- Find activities that are convenient and enjoyable – you are more likely to keep them up
- Exercise with a friend – you can encourage and motivate each other
- Get up 15 minutes early and go for a brisk walk before breakfast
- Invest in a pedometer and see whether you are clocking up a healthy 10,000 steps a day
