Get fit - one step at a time!

You were inspired by the Olympics this Summer to start a new fitness regime and it started off so well; you were running before work and getting to the gym at least three nights a week. But once the bunting was down and the autumn rain set in you lost momentum.

There is no need to feel guilty and as any personal trainer or health professional will tell you, it is best to make small changes to your everyday routine - that will eventually add up to big changes in your health!

Try to increase your number of steps per day; park further away from your office, walk your kids to school or get off the bus a stop earlier. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator or lift will make a big difference too!

If you need a bit more motivation to keep track of all of the positive changes that you are making, perhaps you should consider investing in a health tracker such as the Fitbit Ultra WirelessTracker.

The Fitbit Ultra monitors your activity all day to provide you with real-time feedback on steps, distance, calories burned, and stairs climbed to encourage you to walk more and be more active. It wirelessly uploads your data to Fitbit.com so you can gain deeper insight into your daily or monthly fitness and sleep levels with free online graphs and charts. On Fitbit.com, you can earn fitness badges, connect with friends to share and compete on fitness goals, or join the Fitbit community for advice and encouragement. So you can get fit- one step at a time!
