JOIN A MONKSTOWN GYM & BURN OFF THAT EASTER CHOCOLATE

During the holidays, it is only human nature to cut yourself a bit of slack and say, “I’ll eat what I want and burn it off later.” However, all these extra pounds here and there tend to accumulate throughout the years if we do not take drastic steps to get back on track once the holidays have come and gone.

 

What would Easter be without the roast lamb, potatoes, stuffing, bread and chocolate eggs? Sure, these traditions have been tightly woven into our cultural heritage throughout history – and we should indulge in these pastimes when the occasion arises to celebrate our roots. We cherish these times with our families; but once the table has been cleared, you may want to consider joining a Monkstown gym as an added incentive to help you make the lifestyle changes necessary to lose weight. Even if you only have five or ten pounds to part with, a gym can be the quickest path to reach your goals.

 

Within a few weeks of taking classes at a Monkstown gym, you’ll note that you’re a little more energetic during the day and you sleep a bit better at night. You may find that your appetite is a little more controlled and that your spirits have been lifted too.  Some gyms offer the added benefit of nutrition counseling, with customized meal suggestions to nudge you in the right direction. It is important to note that “weight loss starts in the kitchen,” so you will need to exercise portion control and some restraint if you want to reap the rewards of your new gym membership. Most people are able to lose 4-5 pounds during this time if they eat sensibly and visit the gym at least three times a week.

 

Over the next few weeks of attending a Monkstown gym, you will feel your waistband loosen. You may make a few new friends who motivate you to keep going. By the time you’ve been there a month or so, you’ll have lost 10 pounds – which is motivation in itself! There are many different pursuits to try at a local fitness centre – from racquetball, basketball and swimming to yoga, cycling and kickboxing. Joining a gym isn’t a magic wand that makes you lose weight, but having access to the equipment, the trainers and the classes can help you find a routine that truly works for you.
