TRAIN WITH CHARMAINE

ONCE YOU'VE decided to “get
active,” staying that way and includ-
ing it into an already hectic lifestyle
is a real challenge for most of us.

Finding an activity that’s fun and
easy to do is one way to ensure that
you'll stay on track. Choose a pro-
gram or activity you can do at your
own pace, otherwise you'll feel tired
and frustrated. Walking, swimming
or cycling are low-impact activities
you can do.

No matter what you decide to do,
always set realistic, measurable
goals which you can attain in your
own time frame.

Do consuit a physician before
committing to any major activity to
see what’s best for your specific
needs or condition.

Active time will not only help
you wind down from stress, but it
can also give you a much needed
boost of energy!
