10 great exercise ideas

The human body is designed for movement, not slouching in front of the television or bent over a computer. Moving your body is essential if you want to shift the pounds and stay fit.

You should aim to exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes a day. But if the idea of trundling along to your local gym and hitting the machines fills you with dread, or the mere mention of the words ‘aerobics class’ brings you out in a rash, fear not – there are many alternative forms of exercise that may suit you better.
