It’s National Fitness Day today, which means it’s the perfect time to take the first step on your personal fitness journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Slimming World, we\u2019ve always understood how important exercise is for your health and wellbeing \u2013 and your long-term weight loss success. That\u2019s why we created our unique physical activity support programme, Body Magic<\/a>, to help you get moving more in a way that seamlessly fits into your lifestyle (and that you enjoy!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take on a challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These can be incredibly motivating, and they\u2019re a great stepping stone to activity if you\u2019re at the start of your fitness journey. You don\u2019t need to run miles and miles or spend hours in the gym, either. Small goals like standing up more during the day or walking a certain number of steps in a month will also benefit your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a walk  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Walking is one of the best ways to start moving more. It\u2019s free, you can do it pretty much anywhere and it\u2019s suitable for all ages and fitness levels. If you fancy some company while you stroll, Slimming World members can listen to a series of exclusive walking podcasts \u2013 packed with expert tips to help you march your way to better health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on a new habit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re new to activity, throwing yourself into a high-intensity exercise routine might put you off before you\u2019ve had a chance to experience the full feel-good factor. With Body Magic, we encourage beginners to take small steps to gradually build up your fitness by starting with five active habits. You can choose from sitting still less, moving about more in your day-to-day life, adding cardio, building balance or getting stronger \u2013 and developing all five adds up to lifelong health and fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
