Drinking water Good hydration is one of the most important aspects of diet and helps the body to work effectively. The British Dietetic Association states that low levels of fluid in the body can cause headaches, feelings of dizziness, lethargy, poor concentration, and a dry mouth. They recommend drinking 1.5 - 2 litres of fluid a day (8-10 glasses of water). An awesome workout in just 15-minutes A full-body workout doesn’t have to take long. If you do just five exercises for 30seconds each and repeat the moves five times (allowing a little rest in between them), that’s a great workout in just 15 minutes! Walking is a great exercise Walking is great for cardiovascular health, legs, and core. As you get fitter, you’ll feel comfortable walking a little further and faster. However, in the cold winter weather walking outside can lose its appeal. Our fitness suite treadmills offer a great alternative with a view of the pitches and grounds, so come inside to walk and add some inclines, if you can, for extra benefit. Set a goal Setting a realistic and achievable goal can help to keep us motivated. Something that gives us a little leeway if life’s little hurdles get in the way. Achieving a goal rarely offers a straight path but is all part of the journey. Get started Getting started can sometimes feel like the hardest step, but making it can be the start of something life-changing. Come along to one of our exercise classes and commit to going for one-month. This will give you time to create a habit on which to build and by February you may find yourself coming to multiple classes each week. Sleep routine Going to bed at roughly the same time every night and waking up in the morning at a consistent time will keep your circadian rhythm on track, helping you to fall asleep and wake up more easily. The circadian rhythm is the natural cycle of physical, mental, and behaviour changes that the body goes through in a 24hour cycle, which is mostly affected by light and darkness. abingdon.org.uk/sports-and-leisure 4 Activities are run by Abingdon School Enterprises Limited on behalf of Abingdon School.
