Feel the energy burn

When you’re feeling tired it’s easy to convince yourself that you need to put your feet up – but actually getting some exercise could rev up your energy levels much faster.

“Regular exercise helps to improve your cardiovascular fitness so that it can pump oxygen around your body efficiently,” says Yours fitness expert Julie Robinson (www.moveitorloseit.co.uk). “You need oxygen for every process in your body so the better it travels around the body the more energetic you feel.” Start small, just a 10-minute walk is enough to lift your spirits – you can gradually build up as you get fitter.
