Here's a taste of the Shaw Fitness philosophy - A healthy place for you to start developing a positive relationship with nutrition and fitness. A foundation for your wellbeing.

Nutrition
Nutritious eating starts with:

• Fresh vegetables
• Lean meat (or other sources of protein for vegetarians)
• Fruit
• Enjoying occasional treats

Weight Reduction
Set realistic goals when reducing body fat, for most people it is healthy to reduce by 1-2 lbs per week. If you lose more weight than this it may be from muscle and water loss- not a healthy situation.

Fallacies

• No pain, no gain
• You need to exercise everyday for an hour
• You need to be on a diet
• You can't drink any alcohol

Realities

• Enjoy fitness, have fun
• Start gently
• Slight discomfort in the muscles= your body is benefitting
• Sessions with a partner or trainer = double the fun and motivation
