Tips and tricks
Tip of the month
I think we’ve been pretty lucky with our British summer this year! Take advantage of the remaining pleasant weather and light evenings by banning public transport and walking instead. How often have you jumped on a bus for a half hour journey, when walking would take you hardly any longer? Well next time you consider hopping on, think about this – a 45 minute brisk walk will burn around 150-200 calories. Do the maths – walk to work for 45 minutes, and back home for 45 minutes, five days a week and you will have burned a bonus 1500-2000 calories by Friday! Add to this the chance to blow those cobwebs away in the morning, or march off the stresses from your working day and you’ll soon be making savings on your Oyster card bill!

Exercise of the month
Superwoman (or bird dog)
Why? Stability, balance, core strength for injury prevention
Grab a mat and get on your hands and knees (hands directly below your shoulders, knees directly below your hips)
Draw your shoulders back and down and lift your belly towards your spine, keep this neutral spine position throughout the exercise
Focus on your core and keep centred, slowly lift up your right leg behind you until it is straight and in line with your body, and when you are balanced, bring your left arm in front (so arm and leg are parallel to the floor)
Hold for 10 seconds then relax
Repeat with the opposite arm and leg
Repeat the whole process 4 times
Progress by holding the position for longer each time – aim for 30 seconds
Tips: Don't let your hips tilt to one side whilst moving your legs and keep your breathing steady
