a |azy afternoon |n a pub

sundowner cockta|| on the
beach, but a||-day dr|nk|ng
|sn`t exact|y great for your hea|th. And more
of you are now w|s|ng up to th|s fact -
f|gures from the Off|ce of Nat|ona| Stat|st|cs
show, on average, women are dr|nk|ng |ess
than they d|d |n 2005. No wonder booze-
free bars are stead||y grow|ng across the

opened or are |n deve|opment. We`re

G|v|ng up a|coho| |s no |onger seen as
someth|ng on|y a|coho||cs w||| adm|t to.
'Sober|stas` - those who cut down or cut
out booze for a b|t - are on the r|se. 'Over
17,000 peop|e took part |n Dry January
[be|ng sponsored to g|ve up a|coho| for the
month; dryjanuary.org.uk| th|s year,` says
Em||y Rob|nson, deputy ch|ef execut|ve for
char|ty A|coho| Ooncern (a|coho|concern.
org.uk}. 'That`s four t|mes as many as |ast
year.` But wh||e many of us are reduc|ng
our a|coho| |ntake, others appear to be
mak|ng up for |t. 'K dr|nk|ng trends are
po|ar|s|ng; the number of
teetota||ers |s |ncreas|ng
but the peop|e who dr|nk
are dr|nk|ng more,`
says Rob|nson.
So why are we so re||ant
on booze to have a good
t|me? 'Dr|nk|ng |s about
soc|a| conf|dence - many peop|e dr|nk
because they have soc|a| anx|ety and
a|coho| s||ences that negat|ve |nner vo|ce

A|coho|-free bars are tak|ng off, but can
you soc|a||se w|thout the a|coho||c buzz?
pretty booze-focused,
too; when was
the |ast t|me you
ce|ebrated a b|rthday
or a wedd|ng w|thout
a dr|nk? Even |f you
do dec|de not to dr|nk
one n|ght, there`s
nowhere to go out
w|th fr|ends apart
from coffee shops,
wh|ch often c|ose ear|y, or to a restaurant,
wh|ch can be expens|ve. That |s, unt|| now.
'A|coho| |s everywhere! You have to
exerc|se w|||power a|| the t|me to avo|d
|t,` says Oather|ne Sa|way, founder of
a|coho|-free bar Redempt|on |n |ondon
(redempt|onbar.com}. 'l wanted to create
a sanctuary away from temptat|on that
st||| fee|s ||ke a treat.` Sa|way set up
Redempt|on to prove you cou|d 'spo||

customers aren`t just those who want a

good n|ght out was a|ways oppos|te to
a hea|thy ||festy|e,` says Sa|way. 'l`ve just
tr|ed to br|ng the two together.`
W|th coconut-water
based cockta||s and a

a nutr|t|ona| therap|st,
Redempt|on offers a
pos|t|ve a|ternat|ve to
trad|t|ona| pubs. But are
booze-free bars such as

Don`t forget, we`re descended from apes
and were born to move around a |ot. The
prob|em |s most of us spend hours
hunched at a computer or s|umped at a
steer|ng whee|. A|| of th|s t|me spent s|tt|ng
causes our core musc|es to sw|tch off
and major musc|e groups such as the h|p
f|exors or hamstr|ngs to
t|ghten, wh|ch then |eads
to awkward movement
patterns when we`re
act|ve. Even the regu|ar
exerc|sers among us tra|n
the|r bod|es to move |n an
unnatura| way, |so|at|ng
musc|es by runn|ng on
roads or us|ng we|ghts mach|nes.
'Trad|t|ona| workouts focus on one
|so|ated movement at a t|me, such as the
bench press or ab crunch,` exp|a|ns
Nathan He|berg, the creator of Z at
v|rg|n Act|ve (v|rg|nact|ve.co.uk}. 'An|ma|
workouts such as Z use a range of
fu||-body movements that s|mu|taneous|y

strength to hurd|e a fence ||ke
a horse or the co-ord|nat|on
to craw| ||ke a bear, |t`s
def|n|te|y worth a go. 'An|ma|
exerc|ses deve|op many f|tness
qua||t|es often |ack|ng |n the
typ|ca| exerc|ser,` adds R|chard
Scr|vener, TRAlN f|tness` master tra|ner
(tra|nf|tness.co.uk}. 'The movements and
sequences are der|ved from |ong-stand|ng
d|sc|p||nes such as gymnast|cs and
breakdanc|ng, he|p|ng exerc|sers bu||d
fu||-body awareness, |mprove postura|
strength, co-ord|nat|on and contro|, a|ong
w|th comb|ned f|ex|b|||ty and strength.`
As a bonus, an|ma| workouts boost
card|ovascu|ar endurance, burn ood|es
of ca|or|es (around 350 ca|or|es per c|ass}
and are ser|ous|y fun.
DOES l T VORK?
Sure, we know what you`re th|nk|ng - th|s
an|ma| workout stuff sounds ||ke a b|t of
a fad. But the bodywe|ght c|asses are
backed by hordes of sc|ent|f|c theory.
Exerc|se profess|ona|s at the Amer|can
Oo||ege of Sports Med|c|ne (AOSM} a|ready
agree that everybody shou|d perform
neuromotor moves - a|so known as
funct|ona| exerc|ses, or act|v|t|es that focus
on |mprov|ng motor sk|||s such as ba|ance,
coord|nat|on, ga|t and ag|||ty - two or
three t|mes per week. How come?
Because many experts now be||eve that
the |ncreas|ng rate of |njury among the
e|der|y, not to ment|on the preva|ence
of pa|n among seasoned ath|etes, stems
from a |ack of funct|ona| f|tness. O|asses
that focus on deve|op|ng who|e-body
awareness and |mprov|ng natura|
movements w||| he|p you to bu||d |ong-term
strength and stab|||ty, mean|ng you`re more
||ke|y to s|destep those n|gg||ng a||ments.
'You can def|n|te|y expect to
see a surge |n th|s type of
workout,` adds Scr|vener.
'Bodywe|ght tra|n|ng |s a|ready
the second most popu|ar trend
|n the f|tness |ndustry for 2014,
accord|ng to the AOSM, and an|ma|
workouts are cha||eng|ng and fun!`
VH/T /RE THE RENEFl TS?
Ever seen a chubby monkey? No, we
haven`t e|ther - that`s because pr|m|t|ve
an|ma|s are a|ways on the move, us|ng
major musc|e groups to c||mb, jump,
sw|ng, spr|nt and ro||. And you can scu|pt
a s||mmer body, too, by do|ng pr|ma|
moves and f|rm|ng up a|| over. 'Th|s type
of tra|n|ng |s perfect for modern ||v|ng,`
says He|berg. 'lt`s a card|o workout that
doesn`t requ|re cover|ng |ots of m||es, p|us
|t burns body fat |n a short t|me because
the exerc|ses use mu|t|p|e musc|e groups
together. The |ow-|mpact movements can
be done by peop|e of a|| ages and ab|||t|es,
yet |t pushes everyone and |s guaranteed
to ra|se your heart rate, no matter how
f|t you are.`
ln case you`re st||| not conv|nced, a
wea|th of sc|ent|f|c ev|dence conf|rms the
format of an an|ma| workout - short bursts
of fu||-body exerc|ses - w||| overhau| your
f|tness. Research |n the (WWSPLK 7O`ZPVSVN`
5\[YP[PVU HUK 4L[HIVSPZT journa|, for
|nstance, shows that 20-second |nterva|s
of bodywe|ght exerc|ses (burpees, jump|ng
jacks, mounta|n c||mbers and squats}
boasts better muscu|ar endurance rewards
than 30 m|nutes of treadm||| runn|ng. So
why not g|ve your body a new cha||enge?
Just be prepared to ache |n ways you

the words to ;OL 1\UNSL )VVR`s 'l wanna

Try making antipasti-style roast veg.
You can stir it through pasta, pop it
on pizzas or add it to salads. One
tablespoon is about 45 calories.

Z Put your oven on its highest heat
setting and line a large baking tray
with foil.
Z Chop one red pepper, one yellow
pepper, one courgette (approx.
175gj and one medium red onion.
Z Place on the baking tray, and,
using your hands, coat with 2 tbsp
olive oil, 1 tsp honey and a good
sprinkle of herbs and black pepper.
Z Pop the baking tray into the hot
oven, leave for about 5-8 minutes
then switch off and leave until the
oven is cool (overnight is perfectj.
Z Slide the veg off the foil and use
immediately or pop into an airtight
container in the fridge.
Ve`ve all plcled up lood that`s been

'As an elite athlete, Louise understands the importance of nutrition
and its effect on performance. Her diet is super healthy. Muesli, a
good source of low-Gl carbs, is an excellent breakfast. Scrambled
eggs are a good protein-rich lunch. Protein will help keep her
energised through the afternoon - but as a change, she could try
some poached salmon or prawns. ln the evening, l'd recommend
protein with small portion of low-Gl carbs - such as brown rice or
quinoa. Carbs encourage the brain to make the neurotransmitter
serotonin, which will help her relax. One cheat meal a week is fine
- as her diet is balanced and healthy, it's not a problem.'

The DASH prem|se |s stra|ghtforward
- you eat an unprocessed d|et that`s |ow

the to||et. Her soundb|tes hogged the
tab|o|d head||nes and soon he|ped
turn the endear|ng Jade |nto a m||||ona|re
med|a star.
EVERYLOSERWINS
Fast-forward 12 years and 'dumb
moments` are now a stap|e |ngred|ent of
every rea||ty or ||ght enterta|nment show.
Bare|y an ep|sode passes
w|thout someone proud|y
d|sp|ay|ng an apparent|y
woefu| |ack of |nte|||gence
or common sense. Anyone
who wants to make |t b|g
on the sma|| screen knows
a s|||y soundb|te or s|x can
go a |ong way. And |f you`re not gett|ng
enough a|r t|me, you can a|ways use soc|a|
med|a to v|e for attent|on |nstead.
'There`s a d|st|nct trend for dumb|ng
down these days - and |t certa|n|y seems
to have some pay-offs for ce|ebr|t|es
who choose to p|ay the game,` says
psycho|og|st Dr Pam Spurr (drpam.co.uk}.
'F|rst off, |t pretty much guarantees co|umn
|nches |f you say or tweet someth|ng
stup|d. But |t a|so means that beh|nd
th|s faade, you can carve out a |ucrat|ve
career, thanks to a|| th|s attent|on on your
dumb ant|cs. There`s a|so an e|ement of
surpr|se when everyone th|nks you`re not
very br|ght, then you do someth|ng ||ke
'drop" a book t|t|e you`ve recent|y read.
lt keeps peop|e |nterested |n th|s conf||ct
|n your persona||ty.`
NOTSOSMART
But what about those of us who aren`t
desperate to front a s|x-part ser|es on
lTv2? Sad|y, there`s ev|dence to suggest
the dumb|ng-down trend |s f|nd|ng |ts way
|nto other areas of the careers market,
and soc|ety |n genera|. Many women fee|
caut|ous about appear|ng too we||-read
or too c|ued-up. Act ||ke you know |t a||
and you may we|| be perce|ved as cocky,
threaten|ng and - wh|sper |t - bor|ng.
Smart g|r|s don`t get ahead. They get put
|n the|r p|ace. Try be|ng eager-to-|earn
and easy-on-the-eye |nstead.
So what`s go|ng on here? 'lt`s part of a
r|s|ng |nequa||ty |n the K,` says persona|
deve|opment spec|a||st Jane O Woods
(chang|ngpeop|e.co.uk}. 'Government cuts
have h|t women - and the|r pay packets -
the most. There`s a d|st|nct move towards
gett|ng women to take a step back, as
often happens |n econom|c recess|ons.
Women are fee||ng pressure to downp|ay
the|r |nte|||gence and assert|veness. To ask
for what you want and th|nk you`re worth
|s st||| a |audab|e qua||ty |n a man, but
def|n|te|y not |n a woman.`
WHATHAS TOCHANGE?
Of course, |nte|||gent women haven`t
sudden|y become |nv|s|b|e. But many
are s|mp|y f|nd|ng |t preferab|e to go
undercover or take another route to the
top. '|ook at what happens to women
who a|r the|r |nte|||gence |n the med|a,`
says Woods. 'l`m th|nk|ng
|n part|cu|ar of c|ass|cs
professor Mary Beard, who
was bas|ca||y to|d she was
too ug|y to be on Tv. l`m
sure her |ncred|b|e |nte||ect
threatened peop|e, so she
had to be put |n her p|ace.`
St|||, there are no w|nners here. Soc|ety
|oses out because true ta|ents stay h|dden.
We no |onger reap a|| the benef|ts of
women`s w|sdom. Pos|t|ve ro|e mode|s
become harder to f|nd. lmprov|ng our
m|nds may u|t|mate|y seem |ess appea||ng.
Even the fu||y pa|d-up ce|ebr|ty members
of Team Stup|d start to suffer |n the
end. 'Some of the press they rece|ve |s
extreme|y negat|ve - more so than they`d
expect,` says Spurr. 'Th|s can |mpact on
the|r se|f esteem and |ead to a|| sorts
of stress-re|ated behav|our.`
The so|ut|on, then, |s to reverse the trend
by embrac|ng |nte|||gence once aga|n.
'Women who suppress the|r |nte|||gence to
su|t someone e|se`s def|n|t|on of fem|n|n|ty
w||| never be comfortab|e |n the|r own sk|ns,`
Woods |ns|sts. 'We need to keep a check
on our own prejud|ces. We must recogn|se
- and change - our automat|c responses
to everyday sex|sm. We shou|d be |oud
and proud about our own |nte|||gence.`
|t|mate|y, |f someone can`t po|nt to Afr|ca
on a map, |t`s not funny: |t`s sad.

bv|ous|y you cou|d po|nt to
Afr|ca on a map of the wor|d,
but can you |mag|ne you`d ever
be |n a s|tuat|on where you`d
rather pretend you d|dn`t know th|s? lt
sounds a s|||y quest|on, but d|sp|ay|ng an
adequate grasp of the most bas|c genera|
know|edge won`t make you stand out from
the crowd. As soon as you act ||ke you`re
strugg||ng, however, you`re bound to get
not|ced - and may even be rewarded these
days, |t seems.
Take rea||ty Tv stars, for examp|e. The

Statements 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 are a|| connected
to eustress, so |f you t|cked any of these,
you`re exper|enc|ng the form of stress
that he|ps you grow, |earn and stay
mot|vated. Somet|mes, eustress can
fee| cha||eng|ng - for examp|e, |f you`re
prepar|ng for someth|ng you fee| nervous
about, are |nsecure at the start of a
re|at|onsh|p or fee| out of your depth |n a
new job. But you`re push|ng yourse|f out
of your comfort zone and d|scover|ng new
capab|||t|es, wh|ch he|ps bu||d conf|dence.
Shy|ng away from cha||enges m|ght make
||fe eas|er, but |t wou|d grow bor|ng, wh|ch
can be stressfu|. So embrace eustress
- ||st the pos|t|ves of a s|tuat|on |f you`re
unsure about |t.
Statements 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, on the other
hand, are ||nked to negat|ve stress, wh|ch
can be detr|menta| to your phys|ca| and
emot|ona| hea|th. 'We typ|ca||y become
stressed when we have more pressure
than we can cope w|th and fee| out of
contro| of ||fe, w|th ||tt|e soc|a| support,`
says stress expert Professor Oary Oooper.
lf you`re too stretched - w|th fam||y
respons|b|||t|es, fr|ends |n need and a
heavy work|oad - you`re very ||ke|y to be
stressed. And, |f you`re go|ng through a
tough t|me you have ||tt|e contro| over -
such as redundancy or fam||y |||ness -
that`s a|so stressfu|.
But the two forms of stress aren`t
comp|ete|y d|st|nct. Eustress can qu|ck|y
become negat|ve |f you have to dea| w|th
mu|t|p|e sources of pressure. Wh||e
study|ng |n your spare t|me can be a
refresh|ng cha||enge, add |n a house move
or re|at|onsh|p sp||t and |t can rap|d|y
become dra|n|ng. ||kew|se, a|though you
may |earn from a reject|on, go|ng through
one after another can fee| too much to
cope w|th.
So what`s the so|ut|on to keep|ng pressure
rev|ta||s|ng, not demora||s|ng? You can`t
a|ways contro| what`s go|ng on |n your ||fe,
but Oooper exp|a|ns there are ways to he|p
prevent over|oad. 'For women, fr|ends are
a major source of stress re||ef, often act|ng
as |nforma| therapy,` he says. 'So pr|or|t|s|ng
t|me w|th fr|ends |s |mportant. A|so, make
t|me for hobb|es that absorb you.` Do
someth|ng that takes your fu|| attent|on,

ove your finger
away from the
snooze button!
Sorry, night ow|s,
but the news on the
science circuit is
that working out in
the morning |ight is a great way to
[ump-start your fat burners.
Accord|ng to sc|ent|sts from Northwestern
n|vers|ty |n the S, the ear|y morn|ng revs
up fat |oss by tr|gger|ng genes that w||| a|ter
your body c|ock and make your metabo||c
rate soar.'||ght |s the most potent agent to
synchron|se your |nterna| body c|ock that
regu|ates c|rcad|an rhythms wh|ch, |n turn,
a|so regu|ates energy ba|ance,` exp|a|ns
study sen|or author, Dr Phy|||s Zee. 'The
message |s that you shou|d get more br|ght
||ght between 8am and noon. lf you don`t
get suff|c|ent ||ght at the appropr|ate
t|me of day, |t cou|d de-synchron|se your
|nterna| body c|ock, wh|ch |s known to
a|ter metabo||sm and can |ead to we|ght
ga|n.` Not good news for those who ||ke
a ||e-|n.
Fortunate|y, you on|y need to do a mere
20-30 m|nutes of morn|ng act|v|ty outs|de
to pumme| away the pounds and |ower
your BMl (body mass |ndex}.
Oons|der|ng snooz|ng unt|| 10am? Th|nk
aga|n. The Amer|can sc|ent|sts are qu|ck to
po|nt out that the sooner you get mov|ng,
the more pounds you`|| sh|ft. 'The ear||er
the ||ght exposure occurred dur|ng the day,
the |ower the |nd|v|dua|`s body mass |ndex,`
adds co-|ead author Kathryn Re|d. 'But the
|ater the hour of moderate|y br|ght ||ght
exposure, the h|gher a person`s BMl.` Of
course, the prob|em |s most of us don`t
get enough natura| ||ght |n the morn|ng.
Th|nk about |t - what do you norma||y
do between 8am and 12pm? Ohances
are you`re s|tt|ng |n a d|m|y ||t off|ce,
commut|ng on a dark tra|n or exerc|s|ng
|n an art|f|c|a||y ||t gym
w|th an |||um|nance
of |ess than 300 |ux,
and research shows
500 |ux |s needed
to f|re up your fat
burners. Our
thoughts? Wa|k to
the stat|on, go for a
run outs|de or cyc|e

|ndoors, even a g|oomy day boasts a
whopp|ng 1,000 |ux of br|ghtness. S|mp|e.
LOSEMOREFAT
We hear you - gett|ng up ear|y hurts. But
|t`s worth the pa|n. Another study, pr|nted
|n the journa| 4LKPJPUL :JPLUJL PU :WVY[Z
,_LYJPZL, shows that ear|y b|rd workouts
cou|d further enhance your fat-|oss efforts
by curb|ng your appet|te. The Br|gham
n|vers|ty researchers d|scovered that
fema|e exerc|sers moved around more |n
the hours fo||ow|ng a morn|ng workout and
were |ess tempted by food. 'lf we|ght |oss

Need another reason to pu|| the cover
from your head? Research suggests
morn|ng exerc|sers are more ||ke|y to
st|ck to a f|tness reg|me, as we|| as fee|
energ|sed a|| day |ong, thanks to enhanced
b|ood f|ow around your body and the
re|ease of 'happy` bra|n chem|ca|s,
endorph|ns. 'Morn|ng exerc|sers are
def|n|te|y more a|ert throughout the day,`
adds Mark Wood, Br|t|sh M|||tary F|tness
|nstructor (br|tm||f|t.com}. 'Exerc|s|ng |n the
morn|ng re|eases endorph|ns that make
you fee| great, p|us |t`s been proven to
|ncrease product|v|ty for up to 10 hours
post workout.`
Another factor that comes |nto p|ay |s
cons|stency of tra|n|ng. Gett|ng your sweat
sess|on done before the work|ng day
beg|ns w||| |nstant|y ban|sh a number of
workout excuses. 'Tra|n|ng cons|stent|y |s
key to ach|ev|ng f|tness goa|s. lt`s a|| too
easy to sk|p |uncht|me sess|ons due to a
|ast-m|nute meet|ng, or ru|e out even|ng
workouts after a |ong day |n the off|ce,`
says Heffer. 'Gett|ng your workout done
beforehand w||| e||m|nate those excuses.`
TIMEITRIGHT
lt makes sense, but |et`s get one th|ng
stra|ght - we`re not suggest|ng you g|ve
even|ng workouts the heave-ho. Wh||e
morn|ng tra|n|ng sess|ons boast many
of the bu||d|ng b|ocks for we|ght |oss,
tra|n|ng |n the even|ng |s |dea| for opt|m|s|ng
performance. lt`s when your |mmune
system |s at |ts strongest. Researchers at
Brune| n|vers|ty d|scovered the stress
hormone cort|so| - wh|ch reduces prote|n
synthes|s and prevents t|ssue growth - |s
at |ts |owest |eve| |n the even|ng. As an
added bonus to ath|etes, |ncreased body
temperature and musc|e p||ab|||ty |ater |n
the day equa|s greater f|ex|b|||ty, power and
strength - |dea| for perform|ng to the max.
The take-home message? Save h|gh-
|ntens|ty workouts for the afternoon. 'lf
your a|m |s to |ose we|ght, exerc|s|ng at
a |ow |ntens|ty f|rst th|ng |n the morn|ng |s
|dea| because |t w||| |ncrease fat ox|dat|on
[fat burn|ng|,` exp|a|ns Wood. Gent|e
but dynam|c workouts (th|nk yoga,
bodywe|ght work or wa|k|ng} are a|so
perfect for morn|ngs. Not on|y do these
workouts energ|se your body by wak|ng
up your musc|es, |ubr|cat|ng your jo|nts
and gent|y ra|s|ng your heart rate, but they
a|so mob|||se underact|ve areas, such as
the h|p f|exors and thorac|c sp|ne, wh|ch
many off|ce workers f|nd t|ghten up
throughout the day.
RESETYOURBODYCLOCK
lf the thought of sweat|ng |t out before
10am makes you shudder, stea| these
body-c|ock t|ps from Dr Ner|na Ram|akhan,
phys|o|og|st, s|eep therap|st and S||entn|ght
s|eep expert (s||entn|ght.co.uk}, to become
a morn|ng mover.

arnivores are healthier than vegetarians',
'Five fruit and veg a day isn't enough' and
'Saturated fat doesn't trigger heart disease'.
Just when you thought you knew what a
healthy diet constitutes, recent news stories
appear and question it all, with headlines
similar to the statements above.
lf you're feeling confused, it's hardly surprising, as many
of the latest headlines contradict one another. While one
report tells us we need to eat dramatically more fruit
and veg every day, another says a vegetarian diet may
actually be worse for us than eating meat. So /- decided
to examine the research behind the stories and asked
two top nutritionists for their verdict.
For years peop|e |n the K have been
try|ng to reach the Government-
recommended f|ve a day of fru|t and veg.
Now, a|ong comes a new study that says
you need to eat seven port|ons a day.
The new K study of 65,000 peop|e
from n|vers|ty Oo||ege, |ondon, showed
those eat|ng seven or more port|ons cou|d
reduce r|sk of premature death by 42 per
cent compared to peop|e who ate just
one port|on.
Peop|e who ate three to f|ve port|ons
a day had a 29 per cent reduced r|sk.
Eat|ng just one to three he|p|ngs |eads
to a 14 per cent reduct|on |n r|sk.
The part|c|pants were fo||owed up for
seven and a ha|f years and sc|ent|sts
found the more fru|t and veg they ate, the
|ess ||ke|y they were to d|e. Eat|ng more
vegetab|es was assoc|ated w|th a greater
reduct|on |n r|sk of death than eat|ng the
same number of fru|t port|ons. 'The c|ear
message here |s that the more fru|t and
vegetab|es you eat, the |ess ||ke|y you
are to d|e - at any age,` sa|d Dr Oy|n|o|a
Oyebode, |ead researcher |n the study
pub||shed |n the 1V\YUHS VM ,WPKLTPVSVN`
HUK *VTT\UP[` /LHS[O.
However, cr|t|cs have po|nted out that
the study fa||s to account for ||festy|e
factors such as smok|ng and exerc|se.

'U 0DULO\Q *OHQYLOOH 'l`ve a|ways thought
the f|ve-a-day message was too |ow, but
the Government thought |t was a rea||st|c
target. However, research shows on|y
a th|rd of adu|ts are eat|ng f|ve a day.
'ln other countr|es, the targets for fru|t
and vegetab|e |ntake are d|fferent.
ln Denmark, |t`s s|x

down the amount of
vegetab|es and fru|t
w|th the emphas|s on more vegetab|es.
So for Austra||a the target |s seven (f|ve
vegetab|es and two fru|t} and Japan a
whopp|ng 17 (13 vegetab|es and four fru|t}!
'We shou|d eat more vegetab|es than

Most of us have restr|cted our |ntake of
saturated an|ma| fats, such as butter,
cheese and fatty meats for years, thanks
to the deep|y |ngra|ned be||ef - and off|c|a|
adv|ce - that th|s can reduce our r|sk of
card|ovascu|ar d|sease.
lnstead, we`ve opted for unsaturated
fats, such as o||y f|sh and o||ve o||,
assum|ng they`|| be much better for us.
But now a report pub||shed |n the (UUHSZ
VM 0U[LYUHS 4LKPJPUL has crunched a|| the
data |n a meta-ana|ys|s of 75 stud|es. lt
f|nds no s|gn|f|cant ||nk between saturated
fats and |ncreased b|ood cho|estero| (wh|ch
|n turn can |ncrease our r|sk of a heart
attack}. The study a|so f|nds no s|gn|f|cant
data that showed omega 6 and 3 fats
protect the heart.
However, the researchers do say that
eat|ng 'trans` fats - formed when o|| |s
hydrogenated dur|ng process|ng - can
|ncrease the r|sk of ra|sed 'bad` |D|
cho|estero| and |owered 'good` HD|

r|sk of heart d|sease. Trans fats are ma|n|y
found |n processed foods, espec|a||y
cakes and b|scu|ts, to
|ncrease the|r she|f ||fe.
However, the study
|nc|uded some peop|e
who had a h|gh r|sk
of heart d|sease,
or a|ready had the
d|sease, so more research |s needed. ln the
meant|me, the Government recommends

'Study after study has shown that
reduc|ng fat |ntake makes no d|fference
to heart d|sease r|sk. But we shou|d avo|d
trans fats because they can |ncrease the
r|sk of heart d|sease. We shou|d a|so

For years, many stud|es have shown the
benef|ts for a vegetar|an d|et. For examp|e,
an Oxford n|vers|ty report found that
vegetar|ans were 32 per cent |ess ||ke|y
to deve|op heart d|sease than meat eaters
because they have |ower cho|estero| and
b|ood pressure. Another major study by
ep|dem|o|og|st Professor T|m Key, at the
n|vers|ty of Oxford, |ooked at 52,700
peop|e and found those who avo|ded meat
had s|gn|f|cant|y fewer cancers overa||.
Then, a recent report from sc|ent|sts |n
Austr|a suggested be|ng vegg|e m|ght
|ncrease our r|sk of chron|c d|sease.
However, on c|oser |nspect|on, the study
|ooked at a mere 330 vegetar|ans and
grouped them |nto a 'catch-a||` vegetar|an
category, even though some of them
weren`t exc|us|ve|y vegg|e. lt found they
had |ower BMl and drank |ess but had
more a||erg|es, cancer and menta| |||ness.
Or|t|cs suggest the study |s sma|| and
fa||s to def|ne what`s meant by 'vegetar|an`.
lt a|so doesn`t prove cause and effect,
for examp|e because part|c|pants m|ght
a|ready have cancer and eat vegetar|an
to he|p |mprove the|r hea|th.
;/, =,9+0*;
'U 0DULO\Q *OHQYLOOH: 'lt a|| depends on

the Wor|d Oancer Research Fund has
recommended we reduce our |ntake of
meat and e||m|nate a|| processed meats
due to the |ncreased r|sk of cancer.
However, |f a vegetar|an d|et s|mp|y
exc|udes an|ma| prote|n but |nc|udes
a |ot of ref|ned carbohydrates and

*D\QRU %XVVHOO: 'There`s ev|dence
that eat|ng too much meat can |ncrease
your r|sk of cancer and
d|abetes - espec|a||y
processed or red meat.
However, vegetar|ans
may just eat |oads of
cheese and eggs for
prote|n, and not a |ot

d|et can actua||y be worse than |f they

x
We a|| know smok|ng`s bad for us, but
recent|y the news head||nes warned us
that eat|ng a h|gh-prote|n d|et cou|d carry
a s|m||ar cancer r|sk to a 20-c|garettes-
a-day hab|t.
The assert|on came from new research
from the n|vers|ty of Southern Oa||forn|a
and was pub||shed |n the journa| *LSS
4L[HIVSPZT. lt suggests a 'h|gh-prote|n
d|et` - def|ned as eat|ng at |east 20 per
cent of da||y ca|or|es from prote|n - |s
assoc|ated w|th an |ncreased r|sk of
dy|ng |n peop|e aged 50-65. However,
|nterest|ng|y, the same study found that
there was a reduced r|sk for those
aged over 65.
The study suggests that eat|ng a
|ow-prote|n d|et dur|ng m|dd|e age, then
a moderate to h|gh prote|n d|et over the
age of 65 may be best for hea|th and
he|p you ||ve |onger.
The researchers |ooked at the d|ets for
Amer|cans over a s|ng|e 24-hour per|od
but d|dn`t take |nto account ||festy|e factors
such as exerc|se or
how the|r d|et m|ght
change over t|me.
Those eat|ng |ots of
prote|n may be eat|ng
a |ot of processed and
red meat, wh|ch have
been ||nked to an
|ncreased r|sk of cancer, espec|a||y bowe|
cancer. A|so, re|y|ng on a s|ng|e type of
energy source |n your d|et cou|d mean
you`re eat|ng fewer fru|t and vegetab|es for
examp|e, so you`re not gett|ng as |arge a
range of nutr|ents. W|th regards to o|der
peop|e, the 'surv|va| b|as` may come |nto
p|ay here - where those who`ve surv|ved

they eat |ess ref|ned forms of prote|n.

hhh, summer holidays - a time to
kick back, relax and let the sun
turn you a darker shade of
golden. Going abroad has two major
benefits: the first is ditching work stress
for a while,
and the second is that you return looking
healthier, happier and hotter than your
sun-deprived colleagues. At least, that's
the plan. But then there's the meals you
wolf down on the plane (at around 1,054
calories each, by the wayj, and the
all-you-can-eat buffet breakfasts that
start to replace your morning runs. Not
to mention the local cuisine and cocktails.
lt's no wonder six-in-10 of us pile on
around 5lbs during a two-week break.
lt doesn't have to be that way. You can
turn any holiday into a healthy and
slimming one if you pick the right
destination and follow a stay-fit strategy.
You obviously don't want to spend your
whole holiday sweating it out - seeing the
sites, spending time with loved ones and
getting some R&R are important, too.
Fortunately, there's a science-backed
strategy for staying fit abroad - simply
reduce the total amount of exercise you'd
normally do, but up the intensity of every
session. Studies show that you can cling
on to your cardiovascular fitness for a
whopping three weeks by simply
exercising at 70-75 per cent of your
maximum heart rate twice weekly.
Whether you're heading to the
mountains, beach or city, heed our
active pointers and you can look
forward to your healthiest holiday ever.

D
un, sea, sand - everyth|ng about a beach
break |s great for your body. Research
shows that the sound of waves sends your
bra|n |nto a deep state of re|axat|on, wh||e the sea
a|r |s charged w|th hea|thy negat|ve |ons that boost
your body`s ab|||ty to absorb oxygen and have an
ant|-|nf|ammatory effect on your |ungs. And |f that`s
not enough - the sun`s rays w||| top up your stores
of v|tam|n D and boost your body`s |eve|s of
stress-reduc|ng hormones. What a fantast|c way
to |ncrease your energy, happ|ness and hea|th.

The beach |s a great p|ace to keep f|t - vo||eyba||,
surf|ng, kayak|ng, w|ndsurf|ng and padd|e board|ng
are ava||ab|e at many resorts. But you don`t need to
sp|ash the cash to sweat |t out by the ocean - the
sand and sea are free! Wa|k|ng on the beach |s
great for |ower-body strength and aerob|c f|tness.
The sand creates an unstab|e surface that works
many musc|es, and a run across the beach |s near|y
three t|mes tougher than |t wou|d be on a road! Too
hot for runn|ng? A sw|m |n the sea burns far more
ca|or|es than poo| padd||ng, too, thanks to waves,
currents and no wa||s to push off every 25m!

e|p! Summer's here
and we can't
a|ways hide our
troub|e spots
under baggy
[umpers and
cosy trousers.
Even if you've
been fo||owing a
fitness and hea|thy-
eating programme, some things are hard
to fix. But don't panic - here are some
key foods and supp|ements that can
come to the rescue.
BEATTHEBLOAT
We a|| fee| b|oated from t|me to t|me, but
|f |t`s ongo|ng, |t`s worth check|ng for any
under|y|ng hea|th |ssues. Avo|d|ng certa|n
foods can be he|pfu| |n reduc|ng gas, w|th
the top cu|pr|ts |nc|ud|ng beans, pu|ses,
chew|ng gum, f|zzy dr|nks, on|on and
gar||c. Food |nto|erances to foods such
as g|uten or wheat can contr|bute to f|u|d
retent|on and b|oat|ng, so |f you suspect
th|s may be a factor, try avo|d|ng the
suspect foods for a few weeks to see |f
symptoms |mprove. Keep|ng a food d|ary
can he|p, or seek support from a nutr|t|ona|
therap|st who can do food |nto|erance
test|ng for you.
/VYTVUHS OLSWLYZ lf b|oat|ng |s
part|cu|ar|y not|ceab|e at certa|n t|mes
dur|ng your menstrua| cyc|e, try |nc|ud|ng
more phytoestrogen-r|ch foods to he|p
ba|ance hormones. These |nc|ude f|axseed,
soy, a|fa|fa sprouts, fenne|, ce|ery and oats.
:PW JVJVU\[ Dr|nk|ng more water may
not be the f|rst th|ng on your m|nd when
your be||y`s swo||en, but stay|ng proper|y
hydrated can he|p c|eanse the body and
st|mu|ate your d|gest|ve tract. Ooconut
water |s r|ch |n e|ectro|ytes, part|cu|ar|y
potass|um, wh|ch can he|p reduce
water retent|on.
.V OLYIHS Oerta|n herba| teas can
he|p re||eve f|u|d retent|on and b|oat|ng.
Pepperm|nt tea re|axes tense musc|es |n
the d|gest|ve tract, a||ow|ng gas to d|spe|
more qu|ck|y and eas||y. Fenne| |s a
carm|nat|ve, promot|ng d|gest|on - the tea
and seeds can be he|pfu| |n reduc|ng gas.
ln add|t|on, k|ck-start the day w|th a g|ass
of hot water w|th a squeeze of |emon to
promote d|gest|on and, for f|u|d retent|on,
try dande||on and nett|e teas for the|r
d|uret|c propert|es.
)LSS` I\YULYZ Fermented foods such as
yoghurt and kef|r conta|n benef|c|a| bacter|a
that may |mprove d|gest|on and reduce
b|oat|ng. Stud|es have a|so shown that
|ow-fat da|ry products can he|p you burn
be||y fat too - up to 70 per cent more fat |f
consumed regu|ar|y. Th|s
appears to be due
to the fact that a h|gh
amount of ca|c|um he|ps
break down fat ce||s
more effect|ve|y, and
|ower cort|so| |eve|s.
*OVVZL JOPH lf you`re
prone to const|pat|on, |nc|ude ch|a seeds
da||y w|th p|enty of water. Oh|a seeds
and f|axseeds are r|ch |n so|ub|e f|bre
and he|p promote e||m|nat|on and bowe|
movements. S|mp|y add a tab|espoon
to a morn|ng smooth|e da||y.
BANISHCELLULITE
Most of us have at |east a few patches of
that te||-ta|e orange pee| sk|n. The d|mp||ng
effect to sk|n |s thought to be caused part|y
by genet|cs and part|y by changes |n
hormone |eve|s, part|cu|ar|y oestrogen.
Wh||e there are no m|rac|e cures, |mprov|ng
c|rcu|at|on and e||m|nat|on can he|p.
Regu|ar exerc|se |s key, and a|so try da||y
dry sk|n brush|ng to |mprove |ymph f|ow
and get r|d of dead sk|n ce||s, to he|p ce||
renewa| and create smoother-|ook|ng sk|n.
,H[ HZWHYHN\Z D|uret|c foods such as
asparagus can he|p f|ush out excess f|u|d
wh||e supp|y|ng p|enty of so|ub|e f|bre to
|mprove e||m|nat|on. Other good cho|ces
|nc|ude cucumber, art|chokes, beetroot,
grapefru|t, |emon, cranberr|es, pars|ey,
app|e c|der v|negar and watercress.
7HZZ [OL ZHS[ A sa|ty d|et |ncreases the
||ke||hood of deve|op|ng water retent|on as
your ce||s ho|d on to more water to ba|ance
sod|um and potass|um |eve|s. Avo|d
processed foods, sw|tch to herba| sa|t
a|ternat|ves and |nc|ude p|enty of
potass|um-r|ch foods to he|p the k|dneys

|nc|ude bananas, mangos, me|ons, papaya,
potatoes, sp|nach, tomatoes, and avocado.
7HWH`H WV^LY Papaya |s r|ch |n
potass|um, wh|ch he|ps
tack|e water retent|on, and

wh|ch may prevent t|ssue

Foods r|ch |n v|tam|n O a|so
he|p boost |eve|s of co||agen
|n the sk|n. Th|s promotes e|ast|c|ty and
keeps your sk|n |ook|ng f|rm and taut.
)LYY` NVVK Berr|es are good sources
of v|tam|n O and anthocyan|ns - potent
ant|ox|dants that can he|p strengthen
cap|||ar|es and ma|nta|n the b|ood f|ow
through the t|ny vesse|s deep |ns|de the

Eva G|zowska heads to Maur|t|us
|n search of sp|r|tua| hea||ng
,
|ook up |nto the |nd|go
darkness, and see hundreds
of tw|nk||ng stars. Th|s |s not
my average Fr|day n|ght - l`m on
the south coast of Maur|t|us at the
F|sh Shack, for a barbecue. lt`s
a|| very |nforma|, w|th wooden
seats and tab|es ||t by |anterns.
l`m here for a week`s hea|thy
break and to do a two-day re|k|
workshop at the Shant| Maur|ce,
a bout|que resort near St. Fe||x.
Set |n 36 acres of trop|ca|
gardens, the resort has two
ma|n poo|s, a pr|vate beach,
gym and the |arge N|ra Spa.
lt`s the second n|ght of our
break but a|ready our group of f|ve |s
bond|ng we||. Someone`s even got a
star-gaz|ng app that te||s you the names
of the stars. We take |t |n turns to peer
at the t|ny br|ght f|ecks. lt`s mag|ca|.
We feast on fresh f|sh, sp|cy ch|cken,
sa|ads and home-made |ce cream.
The Shant| Maur|ce a|so has two ma|n
restaurants, Stars and Pebb|es. A|| the
food |s fresh, organ|c and grown by
|oca| farmers, and the cu|s|ne |s a m|x
of Maur|t|an, lnd|an, Oreo|e and Afr|can
- |nc|ud|ng de||cac|es such as tamar|nd
prawns, tuna w|th saffron and sp|cy
beans and ch|ckpeas.
After d|nner, we cons|der hav|ng a
n|ghtcap |n the Rum Shed. On our f|rst
n|ght, Sunny the barman (who ||ves up
to h|s name} served us rum cockta||s and

tasty bar snacks, |nc|ud|ng 'ch||| b|tes` and
coconut ch|cken puffs. But, as we have
re|k| the next day, we opt for an ear|y n|ght.
C6: <: C@@<: 6
The re|k| |eve| one workshop |s a|med
at peop|e new to the hea||ng techn|que,
and |s |ed by re|k| master, v|jay Raghaven,
who`s pract|sed re|k| for over 20 years.
Re|k|, wh|ch means un|versa| sp|r|tua|
(re|} energy (k|}, |s an anc|ent system of
hands-on hea||ng, f|rst pract|sed |n Japan
by Dr M|kao su| |n the ear|y 1900s. 'Re|k|
may be used to enhance the qua||ty of ||fe
on a|| |eve|s - phys|ca|, emot|ona|, menta|
and sp|r|tua|,` says v|jay.
We start day one w|th a med|tat|on
that focuses on peace, forg|veness and
uncond|t|ona| |ove. We a|so do some
ground|ng exerc|ses and take |t |n turns
to 'smudge` each other w|th sanda|wood
|ncense. Th|s he|ps to c|eanse the 'energy
body` (aura} around our body, v|jay exp|a|ns.
The energy body ref|ects the hea|th of the
phys|ca| body.
v|jay a|so ta|ks about the chakras. These
are sp|nn|ng vort|ces of energy |nter||nked
w|th the energy body. We have seven ma|n
ones and each corresponds to d|fferent
organs and emot|ona| and sp|r|tua|
aspects. Re|k| he|ps to c|ear and ba|ance
the chakras, keep|ng you hea|thy. v|jay
teaches us a spec|a| chakra med|tat|on
and suggests we do |t regu|ar|y.
=62C?: ?8 E96 C@A6D
Re|k| |s performed w|th cupped hands,
e|ther gent|y press|ng or he|d s||ght|y
above the area you want to hea|. The re|k|
master transfers the ab|||ty to the student
dur|ng an attunement process where he
'a||gns` the students` energy centres
(chakras} so that they can channe| re|k|
energy for hea||ng.
After prepar|ng us w|th the 'c|eans|ng the
chakra` med|tat|on, v|jay carr|es out the
attunement. We stay seated w|th eyes
c|osed, back stra|ght, feet f|rm|y on the
ground and hands |n the namaste pos|t|on
(as |f pray|ng}. v|jay goes from person to
person, touch|ng the|r head and |mpart|ng
the hea||ng energ|es. When he stands
beh|nd me, l fee| a tremendous surge of
energy that seems to go upwards through
my crown. After the attunement, v|jay
teaches us 18 pos|t|ons for hea||ng.
The re|k| attunement can be a powerfu|
sp|r|tua| exper|ence for many peop|e. v|jay
warns that |t may a|so tr|gger a phys|ca|
and emot|ona| c|eans|ng process. There
may even be temporary phys|ca| symptoms.
We are adv|sed to eat a vegetar|an d|et,
avo|d a|coho| and do da||y re|k| se|f-hea||ng
exerc|ses for 21 days afterwards. Th|s
he|ps to |ntegrate new energ|es and
enhance the benef|ts.
On day two, v|jay ta|ks about how
to ma|nta|n a strong aura and more
about the ph||osophy of re|k|. We
do energy exerc|ses and med|tat|on
and pract|se re|k| hea||ng on each
other. There are three |eve|s of re|k|
tra|n|ng - we`ve just done |eve| one.
The weekend has been very |ntense
but we a|| fee| we`ve benef|ted. l fee|
very centred and at peace, and
cur|ous to see what unfo|ds when
l get back home - an attunement
can |ead to many changes, l`m to|d.
D: E6D 2?5 DH: >D
Dur|ng the rest of my stay, l
spend |ots of t|me on the beach,
sw|mm|ng |n the warm, turquo|se
waters of the lnd|an Ocean. l a|so have
a re|ax|ng Sega R|tua| Massage, at the
N|ra Spa. The spa offers treatments and
therap|es |nc|ud|ng ayurveda, Afr|co|ogy
beauty treatments, P||ates and yoga. There
|s a|so a gym, sauna and steam room.
l v|s|t a tea p|antat|on, rum factory, take
a tr|p to the sacred |ake and temp|e at
Ganga Ta|ao and see the waterfa||s and
co|oured earth at the nat|ona| park |n
Ohamare|. On the |ast day, we go on a
catamaran cru|se round the west coast
of the |s|and and, as we sa|| |nto Tamar|n
Bay, we see a pod of do|ph|ns - a tru|y
mag|ca| exper|ence. As l watch the sun
s|ow|y fade at the end of the day, l w|sh

|th the |atest research urg|ng us to
|ncrease our fru|t and veg |ntake to
seven rather than f|ve a day, ,H[ 4VYL
=LN by Arthur Potts Dawson (M|tche||
Beaz|ey, 15} offers some we|come |nsp|rat|on for
tasty ways to meet your target.
An ex-F|fteen and R|ver Oafe head chef, Potts
Dawson |s qu|ck to po|nt out that upp|ng your veg
|ntake doesn`t have to mean g|v|ng up on meat or f|sh,
but rather g|v|ng vegetab|es the attent|on they deserve
|nstead of cons|der|ng them a mere adjunct to the ma|n
event. 'Th|s |sn`t a vegetar|an cookbook - th|s |s about
putt|ng veg at the centre of the p|ate,` says Potts
Dawson. 'After 25 years as a profess|ona| chef, l know
that the key to cook|ng veg |s to use what`s |n season
- |t`|| taste better, |t`|| cost you |ess, and the more of
the ra|nbow you eat, the better you`|| fee|.`
W|th a handy '|n season` chart at the front of the
book, Potts Dawson makes |t easy for you to fo||ow h|s
adv|ce and, by neat|y d|v|d|ng the book |nto chapters
such as |eaves and f|owers, beans and pods and roots
and tubers, once you`ve chosen your ma|n |ngred|ent,
s|mp|y turn to the re|evant sect|on and you`|| f|nd a
wea|th of |nsp|r|ng ways to cook |t up. Rec|pes range
from the bas|c (Potato and cucumber sa|ad or French
on|on soup} to the unusua| (St|ng|ng nett|e gnocch| or
lced pea and m|nt |o|||pops, anyone?} and |nc|ude
themed 'feasts` such as Tex Mex, curry and
Med|terranean. There are a|so p|enty of vegg|e snacks
to choose from, but some, such as the Broadbean
and po|enta ch|ps and Sp|ced chunky butterbeans,
are deep fr|ed, so don`t assume everyth|ng`s |ow fat
|n th|s book!
Pass|onate about food and susta|nab|||ty, Potts
Dawson`s wea|th of exper|ence sh|nes through every
rec|pe, as he g|ves you t|ps on how to prep your mea|s
|n a profess|ona| (read tasty, speedy} way. Hav|ng three
pots of water bo|||ng away on the hob s|mu|taneous|y
means your s|de of Samph|re, sp|nach and |ettuce w|||
be cooked to perfect|on. So whether you`re bored w|th
your usua| vegg|e fare or want to know what to do w|th
that fresh green Koh|rab| you cou|dn`t res|st at the
farmer`s market, ,H[ 4VYL =LN won`t just show you
how to cook |t, |t`|| make |t taste amaz|ng, too.

courgettes, sunf|ower seeds with Jerusa|em
artichokes or crispy bacon with ce|eriac.
Perk up a simp|e soup with a spoonfu| of
homemade pesto. I taste the soup before I
add the pesto to the midd|e of the soup bow|,
then, as I begin to stir, I |ike to samp|e the
f|avour again before I go for the fu|| stir-in.

on`t ||ke b|g waves? lt doesn`t matter.
You needn`t boast board sk|||s to get
the |ong, |ean body that surfers have.
You do, however, need to do the r|ght
exerc|ses because surf|ng requ|res a tough
comb|nat|on of f|tness sk|||s - fu||-body strength,
ba|ance, muscu|ar endurance, a strong core and
f|ex|b|||ty, to name a few. How e|se do you th|nk
surf-ready Oameron D|az honed one of the best bods
|n Ho||ywood? 'Surfers need a |ot of endurance and
must exerc|se |n many p|anes to res|st the mu|t|-
d|rect|ona| forces of the waves,` exp|a|ns pro surfer
Oe||ne Gehret, team r|der for O`Ne||| (one|||.com}.
'A m|x of aerob|c and strength tra|n|ng, p|us yoga
to |ncrease f|ex|b|||ty, wh|ch |s needed for dynam|c
moves such as 'pop-ups", |s the best preparat|on
for surf|ng.` Phew!
Sound ||ke hard work? Don`t worry, Gehret has
created two s|mp|e exerc|se rout|nes to he|p get your
body |n shape for the beach, whether you want to
surf or ||e on a sun |ounger. You can a|so do them on
the beach to keep your f|tness t|ck|ng over wh||e
you`re away. 'My workouts are |n a c|rcu|t format,
wh|ch |s a fun way to tra|n w|th fr|ends,` says Gehret.
To prepare for your beach ho||day, do three
workouts a week, a|ternat|ng number one and number
two, and try to f|t |n a cyc||ng sess|on, two sw|ms and
a yoga sess|on too. Have one rest day a week.

onfused about how hard to
work out? Whether you`re
try|ng to |ose we|ght, boost
your hea|th or tra|n for a
marathon, exerc|se |ntens|ty can be one
of the tr|ck|est but most |mportant th|ngs
to gauge. 'W|thout measurab|e data, |t`s
hard to understand what |eve| of effort |s
benef|c|a| to your f|tness goa|,` says ||z
Shenton, Po|ar tra|ner (po|ar.com}.
'Exerc|sers tend to e|ther work too hard
and get |njured, or fa|| to work hard enough
and not get any f|tter,` she adds. lt`s a
m|nef|e|d, we know. But what |f we to|d you
there was a way to work out at the r|ght
|ntens|ty for your goa|? Now a new breed
of f|tness c|asses are us|ng sc|ence-backed
heart-rate tra|n|ng to he|p exerc|sers boost
workout resu|ts - and th|s tra|n|ng method
de||vers the fu|| f|tness benef|ts |n a f|ash.
How so? Work|ng at a h|gher heart rate
offers more bang for your f|tness buck.
New research |n ;OL 1V\YUHS VM
7O`ZPVSVN` revea|s the same aerob|c f|tness
and hea|th resu|ts can be ach|eved |n |ess
than a th|rd of the t|me s|mp|y by |ncreas|ng
the |ntens|ty of a workout. As a bonus,
stud|es show that strenuous exerc|se
resu|ts |n greater EPOO (excess post-
exerc|se oxygen consumpt|on, the sc|ent|f|c
name for the fat-b|ast|ng 'after-burn` effect}
compared to moderate or |ow-|ntens|ty
workouts. Heart-rate tra|n|ng |s a techn|que
that can he|p you go harder and boost your
f|tness |n the process.
VH/T TO EXPECT
Here`s how |t works - head to a zone, or
heart-rate, c|ass and you`|| be g|ven a heart-
rate mon|tor, wh|ch measures your work|ng
heart rate |n beats per m|nute (bpm}. Th|s
|nformat|on, a|ong w|th your heart-rate
max (HRM, or 220 m|nus your age}, |s then
used to assess the heart-rate zone (the
percentage of your HRM and a good way
of determ|n|ng exerc|se |ntens|ty} you`re
work|ng |n, and th|s |nformat|on |s shown
on a screen |n c|ass. And, you`ve guessed
|t, the a|m |s to h|t the target zones the
|nstructor te||s you to.
'H|gh-|ntens|ty exerc|se |s
d|ff|cu|t and some peop|e
are unw||||ng to push
themse|ves out
of the|r comfort zone,`
exp|a|ns Matt Bo|am,
head tra|ner at Speedf|ex
(speedf|ex.f|ow.co.uk}.
's|ng the object|ve heart rate data
a||ows both the |nstructor and exerc|sers
to conf|dent|y determ|ne the workout
|ntens|ty and max|m|se the resu|ts.` And
because heart-rate percentages are based
on |nd|v|dua| f|tness |eve|s, both unf|t and
super-f|t exerc|sers are work|ng at the
same re|at|ve |ntens|ty. Smart.
ZONE TR/l Nl NG
Sound comp||cated? Fortunate|y, you don`t
have to know the d|fferent heart-rate zones
- or understand the tech - to reap workout
rewards. Many f|tness prov|ders have made
|t super s|mp|e to understand how hard
you`re work|ng by co|our-cod|ng each
of the zones. 'lt may sound h|gh-tech but,
once you understand the zones and how
each one fee|s, you can
use them effect|ve|y,`
says Shenton. 'You
don`t need to know the
sc|ence; just fo||ow the
co|ours.` Phew! But there
|s a catch. As Shenton
po|nts out, you must
ta||or your heart-rate
tra|n|ng to meet your goa|. 'lt`s |mportant
to understand what you`d ||ke to ach|eve
- to get f|t, |ose we|ght or ma|nta|n f|tness,`
she says. 'There`s a benef|t to a|| the
heart-rate zones, whether you want to
get |nto shape, do a recovery sess|on or
tra|n for a race, but you need to use the
zones effect|ve|y.`
lt`s a|so cruc|a| to acknow|edge your
current |eve| of f|tness. lf you`re a f|tness
newb|e, the best way to approach th|s form
of tra|n|ng |s to start at a |ower HRM |eve|
- the b|ue/green zone or 60-80 per cent
HRM workout - and then gradua||y up the
ZONE 5 9O- OO%

Heart-rate tra|n|ng does have |ts ||m|tat|ons,
however. Even when you know your HRM
and tra|n|ng zone (check the pane|, |eft},
research |n the lnternat|ona| 1V\YUHS VM
:WVY[Z 4LKPJPUL shows that changes |n
your heart rate may not re|ate to effort
|eve|s. F|uctuat|ons |n heart rate can a|so
be a resu|t of dehydrat|on, the s|ze of
your heart, emot|ons, med|cat|on, |||ness,
d|sease, heat and hum|d|ty. Research |n
/`WLY[LUZPVU! 1V\YUHS VM [OL (TLYPJHU
/LHY[ (ZZVJPH[PVU shows that a |ack of
s|eep can a|so ra|se heart rate by 5-10bpm,
wh||e another study aff|rms that stress
can e|evate heart rate by 4-6 bpm. But,
genera||y, on|y e||te ath|etes are worr|ed
about th|s |eve| of prec|s|on.
St|||, |t`s certa|n|y worth bear|ng these
th|ngs |n m|nd |f you`re hav|ng an 'off-
day` at the gym. 'Heart-rate data can be
benef|c|a| for a w|de range of peop|e w|th
d|fferent tra|n|ng goa|s, and th|s |nc|udes
beg|nner exerc|sers,` says Bo|am. 'But
there are ||m|ted benef|ts to those do|ng
strength work to |ncrease musc|e mass
because |t`s hard to quant|fy the |ntens|ty
of res|stance work. Strength tra|n|ng puts
d|fferent energy demands on the body that
are d|ff|cu|t to measure w|th heart rate.`
lt`s a|so worth we|gh|ng up whether heart
rate tra|n|ng |s r|ght for you - do you want
to do a h|gh-tech workout |n wh|ch your
heart rate w||| be d|sp|ayed on a screen?
Stud|es show that perce|ved exert|on,
or how hard you th|nk you`re work|ng,
corre|ates we|| w|th heart rate - so |f |t fee|s
hard, you`re work|ng hard. And |f you want
to exerc|se by fee|, the workout gods won`t
judge you. Whatever gets your heart rate
up and works for you |s good, we say.

The portab| e equ| pment

lt`s the bra|nch||d of former S Navy SEA|
Randy Hetr|ck, who came up w|th the |dea
as a way to tra|n qu|ck|y and effect|ve|y
wherever you are |n a short t|me. You use
two suspended straps to do bodywe|ght
exerc|ses, he|p|ng bu||d strength, ba|ance,
f|ex|b|||ty and core stab|||ty. You can attach
the straps to an overhead bar or wa|| |f
you`re |n a gym, or a tree for an outdoor
workout, or a door |f you`re at home. Do
hundreds of exerc|ses by ho|d|ng the straps
or p|ac|ng your feet |nto the |oops on the
ends of the straps.
E96 36?67: ED
n||ke the f|xed we|ghts mach|nes |n the
gym, that work on just one p|ane of
movement and don`t m|m|c the way your
body`s des|gned to work, the suspens|on
straps can move. Th|s means they make
your sma|| stab|||s|ng musc|es and core
work hard to keep the straps st||| wh||e
you do your exerc|ses. You get a fu||-body
workout |n a shorter t|me, and have |ess
r|sk of |njury, than |f you were us|ng the
trad|t|ona| we|ghts mach|nes |n the gym.
You can even get a card|o workout by
do|ng some of the moves at a face pace.
FD: ?8 E96 <: E
Attach the straps of your suspens|on
tra|ner to a h|gh anchor po|nt that w||| take
your body we|ght. You can adjust the
|ength of the straps to su|t your he|ght
and whatever exerc|se you`re do|ng.
Try exerc|ses from squats and |unges
to push-ups and core exerc|ses. lt`s a|so
great for pu|||ng exerc|ses that he|p posture
and counteract the potent|a| prob|ems
caused by s|tt|ng down a|| day.

Don`t be put off by |ts s||ght|y scary |ook
- suspens|on tra|n|ng |s great for a|| |eve|s,
from beg|nners to O|ymp|c ath|etes. lt can
he|p w|th ba|ance and |ncrease range of
movement |n beg|nners - you can ho|d
onto the straps to he|p w|th squats and
|unges, for examp|e. When you`re ready to
progress w|th many of the moves, you can
adjust your body pos|t|on re|at|ve to the
straps to make |t harder.
4@>>@? >: DE2<6D
Some exerc|ses us|ng suspens|on tra|n|ng
requ|re a very strong core and abdom|na|s.
For exerc|ses such as rows, dynam|c
p|anks and push-ups, your body shou|d be
kept dead stra|ght from ank|e to neck. lf
you can`t do th|s, you r|sk |njur|ng your

the |oad. Start off stead||y and progress

ln a sense th|s |s
true - but don`t be
d|sheartened, the fu|| story |s a
||tt|e more encourag|ng! When
you f|rst start runn|ng, your
'economy,` or ab|||ty to perform
eff|c|ent|y, |s |ess than that of a
more exper|enced runner who
has hardw|red the necessary
movement patterns. (P|cture an
accomp||shed sw|mmer g||d|ng
through the water compared to
a f|a|||ng amateur and you`|| get
the |dea!}
Th|s |ack of economy means
your body has to use more
ca|or|es on runn|ng, whatever the
pace. ln other words, |t`s harder
work. Over t|me, though, your
runn|ng economy |mproves and
your body |s ab|e to do the task
w|th |ess energy. ln a recent study
from the n|vers|ty of Exeter, a
10-week runn|ng programme for
beg|nners resu|ted |n a 9.2 per
cent |mprovement |n runn|ng
economy. The resu|t? Fewer
ca|or|es wou|d be burned.
However, th|s |s assum|ng that you
run at the same pace (wh|ch w|||
now fee| eas|er} for the same
durat|on. lf you run a ||tt|e faster,
you`|| |ncrease your ca|or|e
expend|ture aga|n. Run a greater
d|stance, and you`|| up |t further.
There`s another |ssue to
cons|der though - your we|ght.
A heav|er person w||| burn more
ca|or|es wh||e runn|ng a m||e than
a ||ghter person, s|mp|y because
bodywe|ght |s part of the equat|on
used to ca|cu|ate runn|ng
economy. A h|gher body we|ght
means a h|gher energy cost. lf
you f|nd that regu|ar tra|n|ng has
he|ped you to shed a few pounds,
you m|ght be burn|ng fewer
ca|or|es m||e for m||e. But |f
||ghten|ng your |oad has a|so
|ncreased your runn|ng pace,
you`|| counteract the def|c|t.
Runn|ng shou|d a|so fee| much
|ess effort, wh|ch a|so makes |t
more enjoyab|e, so you`|| hopefu||y
want to do more!
The bottom ||ne? The more

You took part in the
virgin London Marathon.
How did you prepare?
'l have a |ove-hate
re|at|onsh|p w|th runn|ng, so
l used Karr|mor`s E||te App*.
l cou|d |og how far l`d run,
and how fast, and l cou|d see
myse|f |mprov|ng. lt kept me
mot|vated. l started tra|n|ng
|n January, do|ng ha|f-hour
runs and bu||t up to an hour.
The |ongest run l d|d was
an hour and a ha|f - l d|dn`t
have the t|me to do |n-depth
tra|n|ng! l`ve run the v|rg|n
|ondon Marathon before and,
th|s year, l wanted to do |t |n
|ess than four hours, but
l ran |t |n 4:12. ln my defence,
l was do|ng ||nks for the
h|gh||ght show - or that`s
my excuse anyway.`
You must have a good
base level of fitness...
'l`ve used gyms s|nce l was
16, but l`m so busy that |t`s
hard to st|ck to a rout|ne. lf
l`m away on shoots, l`|| pack
my tra|ners. l ||ke c|asses and
m|x|ng my exerc|se up! My
hubby (rugby p|ayer R|ch|e
My|er} and l go on b|ke r|des,
and p|ay squash and tenn|s.
We`ve got a dog, too, so we
wa|k a |ot.`
You got married last
December. Did you
follow a pre-wedding regime?
'l took we|ght tra|n|ng ser|ous|y. l ate |oads
of prote|n and ramped up the we|ghts! lt`s
the f|rst and on|y t|me l`|| tra|n for aesthet|cs
rather than f|tness, though.`
You've done some amazing
challenges. Which do you think
has been the scariest?
'Probab|y the h|gh w|re. Battersea Power
Stat|on |s such an |nt|m|dat|ng space!
You`re wear|ng a safety harness, but you
have to |earn how to fa||. l was b|ack and
b|ue for months and cou|dn`t get on my
b|ke because my backs|de was so bru|sed.
lt rem|nded me of that scene |n the Bond
f||m *HZPUV 9V`HSL, where Dan|e| Ora|g |s
be|ng h|t wh||e he s|ts |n the cha|r.`
Did you ever imagine that this
would be your job?
'Not at a||. l just got an opportun|ty and
took |t. l`m not a Po|ar exp|orer, a kayaker
or a h|gh-w|re wa|ker, or try|ng to be

Have you always been a daredevil?

What's your diet like?

most days. The on|y food l avo|d |s
she||f|sh, as |t doesn`t agree w|th me.`
'My mum always told us that you get out of life what you
put in. lf you want to do a marathon, you need to do the training. lf you want
to earn loads of money, then prepare to work really, really hard.'
