It’s been 10 days since I started my Fitbug challenge. Read how I have got on and learnt to make all my steps count. Also find out how you can join in being motivated to eat healthily and be more active.
Fitbug is a web based service described as ‘a personal health and well-being coach’, and aims to keep you motivated to keep moving. Read as I road test the ‘bug’ to see how it will work with me.
After getting caught out in a summer storm today, Strenua learns what you should do to protect yourself from lightning.
Whether you want to hire a rowing boat on a local lake, kayak down the river or just go for a walk by the sea, it is important that you know how to swim for your own personal safety. But aside from it being an essential survival skill and a form of exercise in its own right, being able to swim allows you to participate in many more exciting activities.
Restricting food for weight loss isn’t really my thing. Although I need to lose some weight, I think it’s more important to adopt a long term healthy diet than to starve yourself for a few weeks. I started by not having sugar in my coffee, there is around 16 calories in a teaspoon of sugar, which doesn’t sound like much but in 5 cups a day 7 days a week that is around 560 calories.
The scientist in me wanted to record my baseline body measurements so if my weight loss plateaus I can hopefully stay motivated with some recordable inch losses.
