A word on fitness

With the end of the Olympics and the start of the paralympics dawning I believe this is an appropriate time to talk about fitness.
I always have been rather sporty and I'm a bit of a fitness nut. At school I used to do PE three times a week out of choice, I got an a* at GCSE, on top of this I used to play for the school hockey team twice a week, then I used to go athletics training three times a week, not including competition days. I then used to go Badminton on a Friday morning and Use the Gym on a Thursday and Friday lunch time followed by cross country training. I have a lot of certificates and medals for various sports. Then after school I used to go and look after the horses which meant another 4/5 hours riding depending on how many of the 5 horses I owned at the time I would ride this would be everyday without fail including shows and competitions on Sundays. This was followed on a Tuesday evening and Saturday morning by Aikido and Archery training.

So Yea I was a bit of a sport nut, still am though it is mostly jogging, horse-riding and various forms of dance. I am a bit obsessed with keeping healthy and fit. I naturally have a washboard flat stomach yet a curvy hourglass shape so I try to keep this. Burlesque keeps me fit as I'm practising most days. On top of this the dance I do is Bellydance, salsa and ballroom. This isn't all, I am also a Zumba fanatic. Its so much fun and my instructor is really good.

Too many people I know say they want to lose weight and yet all they do is diet, you need to exercise if you want to lose weight as well as maintain a balanced, nutritional diet.

Actually I struggle half the time because my metabolism is very quick and I can accidentally lose weight if I'm not careful which is not what I want to do. Therefore I eat a lot to make up for it.

Balance is the key.
