Turn the hum drum of shopping into a tummy-trimming muscle-toning work-ou.!  All you need to do is focus on a few key points and carry out some simple exercises and you will soon be on your way to burning some of those extra calories ready for that long awaited summer holiday.   Exercises & Tips

A favourite local venue of mine for mountain biking is Coed Llandeglla near Wrexham.  It is perfect for beginners to get to grips with riding a mountain bike but also has some great black runs for the more adventurous rider!.  Get out there and give it a go, you'll burn tons of calories and the fresh air will work up an appetite that can be satisfied with fresh, home cooked food in the cafe.  For more information visit www.coedllandegla.com

Focus on the muscles you are using when performing an exercise. Imagine how the muscles look when they are contracting and working hard.  You will gain faster results and work harder than you expected by maintaining focus throughout your workout.

Aim to consume at least 20 different types of food every day.  This will ensure that you are providing your body with a wide range of vitamins, minerals and nutrients.  A varied, healthy diet is essential in order for your body to function efficiently.
