2013 is here and like thousands of other women across the country you are probably thinking about making a New Year’s Resolution.

Many of which go along the lines of wanting to do more exercise or to eat more healthy. If so, that’s great. But can you stick to it?

Here’s one way to a healthier lifestyle that is simple and easy to fit into your everyday routine.

How often have you felt bored, sitting in front of the telly just watching whatever happens to be on? Next time this happens, get up and start moving!

Sitting down and relaxing is great and we all need to make sure we have some ‘me time’ or simply ‘time to do nothing’. Relaxation is of course as important as exercise.

However, if this is a more regular occurrence, think of all the things you could be doing in that 30 minutes or an hour.

Make everyday chores fun. Dance and sing along to your favourite music while cleaning the house or ironing.Rope someone else in to half the time it takes and make everyday tasks a competition between you.

Make the most of the British summer (I know that seems a long way off at the moment!) and wash the car or do gardening on those sunny days.

And it doesn’t have to be work work work. Go out for a long walk or cycle to your local shops.

Not only will you feel better for getting up and about, you’ll burn those all important calories whilst doing it too!
