Summer SOS

SUMMER SOS

In a panic about baring your body this summer ?

There are loads of ways you can burn off calories and lose a few extra inches before it's time to hit the beach. Here's just a few:…

•  Travel to work by bus and get off a couple of stops earlier and walk the extra distance.
•  If you really want to burn some calories, find a willing partner and get stuck into a game of squash, an hour playing squash can burn upto 800 calories and will firm up your thighs and bottom in no time.
•  Stop using lifts, it's a great work-out for those legs climbing stairs and it's free.
•  Clean the house, cleaning and polishing can burn upto 250 calories an hour.
•  Instead of sitting around in the office during lunch, why not join a gym, go for a swim and relax in the steam room before returning back to the office invigorated.
•  Get out in the garden as much as you can, all that weed pulling and digging can burn up to 300 calories an hour.
