New at the Gym?

If you've ever made the mistake of trying to do too much too soon at the gym you'll love this tongue-in-cheek account of one week with a personal trainer Adonis...

Just remember to take it easy when you start to exercise...

Santa Fun Run Mini-Workout

If you are within striking distance of Edinburgh this weekend, why not have some fun and get some exercise by taking part in The Great Scottish Santa Run?

Thousands of people in Santa suits will run, skip, jog or walk the 1.5 km circuit around Princes Street Gardens in the city on Sunday 16th December to raise money for the charity When you Wish Upon a Star, which is dedicated to making the wishes of seriously ill children come true.

£10 for adults and £5 for children buys a Santa suit (for adults) or an elf hat (for children) to run in and keep and also provides a donation for the charity which is hoping to raise £25,000 from the event.

The Anti-Health Plan

Actually you don't need any advice from me other than to do the opposite of the Anti-Health Plan. There's a serious message behind this funny video. See how many of your own habits you can spot in it.

No Wonder We Feel Ugly Sometimes

YouTube has a film of the work that goes into how women in adverts are made

Weight Loss on the Cards

On my birthday card last week (thanks Jean Ann) - some "Rules of Dieting"

Never weigh more than your fridge
Blame any weight gain on faulty scales or heavy clothes
Eat a balanced diet - hold a donut in each hand
Eat broken cookies as all the calories have leaked out

and

Fatten up your friends - it will make you look thinner

Would your scales tell you this if they could?

I liked this bathroom scales picture I came across today on Aha! Jokes (Now you know who's been surfing instead of writing the next No More Diets newsletter!)

Actually if scales started giving out verbal instructions too it might help :)
