Reboot Your Body This Bank Holiday

- Start with a swim – There is no better morning wake-up than a refreshing swim. A few laps, both Saturday and Sunday morning prove to be a great feel-good booster and are a great way to improve your fitness.
- Swap your snacks – Bank holidays are prime time for snacking as you switch into “weekend mode”. However, starting the day with a healthy breakfast and mid-morning snack will give you the motivation to continue eating well throughout the day.
- Maximise your exercise - When you do have the time to play sport, make the most of it by improvingyour technique. Seeing a real improvement in your fitness and the way you exercise can be all the motivation you need to keep going at it.
- Take time to relax - Try not to waste away your Monday off sat on the sofa with box sets (although of course this is a fine indulgence now and again). Instead, use the opportunity to combat stress with gentle exercise, such as Pilates, yoga or tai chi.
- Ensure a good night’s sleep - If the stresses of work usually stop you from switching off, the long weekend is the perfect opportunity to get yourself into a bedtime routine. Why not have a bath before bed or read a book before you sleep?
