BETA YOURSELF FITNESS
Feeling creaky? Regretting eating those extra 57 mince pies during the festive break? Craig Grannell invites you to kick off 2020 by getting fitter with the help of your phone…
THE BASICS
◼ Start off slowly
You might like the idea of going from full couch-spud status to running a marathon this summer, but that’s a good way to do yourself in, perhaps even causing long-term damage. So start small, and gradually build up your routine as your body becomes used to the changes you’re inflicting on it.
◼ Exercise regularly-ish
Your Apple Watch will scream at you daily, as will other hardware and apps. Nuts to them. You do need to get into a routine with exercise if it’s to stick, but rest days are important for recovery. Do what works for you, and balance out activity evenly across a week or month, tracking it as appropriate.
