Try these dinner suggestions and start setting some goals.

Dinner time

Dinner time is one of those times when the whole family sit down, catch up and enjoy a meal. It is so hard to keep the balance if you are a busy family or couple, and cooking a big meal at night can take up even more time, so here are some super healthy suggestions that are quick to make and easier for the body to digest.                                                                   

Steamed vegetables with grilled fish

Curried lentils with grilled vegetables

Seafood kebabs with grilled vegetables

Stir fry with vegetables and chicken                                                                                 Grilled chicken salad                                                                                                       Spinach and lentil salad                                                                                                 Basically, try to avoid eating heavy carbs in the evening as these are harder to digest and you wont burn them off. If you have eaten well troughout the day, you should'nt actually need anything heavy at night.

Setting goals

Goal setting is one of the most important parts to physical training whether it's an event or general fitness, you need some defined benchmarks to work towards.

First of all - Work out your starting point ie current fitness level.                                     

Now set yourself an ultimate goal, for example - An event, a goal weight, a healthy heart rate and so on.

Now you can define a specific, but realistic timeframe - depending on the size of your goal. Lets say 2 months for example.

Next comes the fun bit, start setting small goals that work towards your ultimate goal, so - Week 1 lose x amount of Lbs.

As you progress through your mini goals you will find that getting to your ultimate goal is both rewarding and easy and because you are constantly achieving throughout the process your motivation levels will be high.                                                                                                          Give it a try and don't forget you can always give us a call if you need any help.                 (Always consult your GP before starting a new programme)
