   Hi Des,

   My pleasure….It is an awesome topic and your content is great!

   My personal approach to health and fitness, as a fitness professional, is that it comes in all forms, not just a gym setting. Karate is great fitness approach, and you get the bonus of body control and self defense.

   Keep up the great work Des.

   cheers,
   beti

   Hi Beti,

   I’m a 33 year old lady who about 1 and a 1/2 months ago, had a little baby girl Rachel. Since having the baby i have put on a lot of weight, i was wondering what the best soloution would be to get back into shape soon.
   I have a busy schedule as i work full time as an accountant in the city and have a son Paul who is half way through his first schooling years.

   Please help me Beti,

   Kind Regards,
   Helen

   Hi Megan,

   That is a very interesting question. This depends on your fitness level and how hard you play. General rule of thumb…the harder you work, closer to maximum output, the more you are working anaerobically.

   Hi Helen,

   Because you have a busy schedule it is important you do two things:
   1. Incorporate more passive exercise in your day
   2. Look very carefully at your diet - see a dietitian/health professional

   Passive exercise means exercising without making a specific effort to do so…eg walk to the train station instead of driving, placing your washing on the line instead of in the dryer, go for a walk during your lunch break to go window shopping, etc

   Diet is another important factor. If you do not have a good diet, making the effort to do more activity in your day may not make much of a difference. Ensure you eat low fat, low calorie, nutritionally rich food.
   A good example for dinner:

   1. Sausages with whipped mash potato and fries - Not the best
   2. Pasta with meat sauce - Could do better
   3. Lean beef with salad and red kidney beans - now we’re talking!

   cheers,
   beti
