The body beautiful comes in many sizes

Oct. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Long gone are the days of the buxom, big bottomed models which were a regular feature of paintings during the Renaissance (anyone remember that sketch with Dawn French and Kate Moss?).  Today, while the size zero phenomenon has largely been slammed as unhealthy and even dangerous, seemingly it is still considered more attractive to be slim than plus-sized.

Most women would admit to being conscious about their weight and their appearance, but as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder – and many men say they would rather their partners had curves.

However, if you do lean more towards Dawn French than Kate Moss, it is extremely important to ensure that excess weight doesn’t lead to health problems.  In fact, Dawn herself has recently lost a massive four and a half stone after growing concerned about the effect her weight was having on her since she moved into her 50s.

So if you feel you need to lose weight for health rather than vanity reasons, what’s the best way to go about it?  When you set out on the journey it may feel like a daunting, uphill struggle – but with the right approach and a generous helping of will power, you will get there.

One of the most popular ways to get started is to join a fitness centre.  There are many health clubs in Croydon which offer a variety of methods to help you lose weight, whether that be through swimming, doing classes like Zumba, running on the treadmill or playing badminton.  Whatever type of exercise takes your fancy, you can be sure to find it these days.

The most important thing is to find a method of exercising that you really enjoy, otherwise you just won’t stick to it.  And there’s nothing better than losing weight by doing something that’s fun and doesn’t feel like hard work.  So if using an exercise bike isn’t for you, try legs, bums and tums – or if the idea of an exercise class leaves you cold then why not give squash or tennis a go?  

Getting yourself to a health club in Croydon might not leave you looking like Jessica Alba or Megan Fox – but if you stick to your visits, you can be sure that your weight won’t lead to serious health problems in the future.
