Egg's Top Health and Fitness Tips for 2011

I thought I'd share some pearls of wisdom to help everybody on their way to a happy, healthy 2011. You know it makes sense..

• Think you can get fit by taking the stairs instead of the lift? This is the wrong approach. Take the down escalator to see real fitness gains.

• Stop wondering if you are a pear or an apple and just eat more pears and apples instead.

• If you're at the gym, have a secret competition with the person on the machine next to you. If you're lucky they'll secretly compete back!

• Any time spent on the dance floor can be turned into a workout. Don't be afraid of experimental shape-throwing. If people look at you it's because they're jealous of your fitness.

• Laugh more, make those abs ache!

• When baking cakes, don't use a blender. That way the calories from making the mix should just about even up with the actual eating.

• Get a top to match your trainers, being coordinated always improves performance.

• Finally.. never, EVER miss an opportunity for a good lunge.
