Walking Apps & Festive Fitness
Keeping fit and eating fit over the festive period, a review of walking apps and nutritionist Scott Baptie shows PB volunteer Fiona White how to cook quick, nutritious recipes.
Gillian Russell and the team find out how best to keep your fitness up over the festive period when your local gym is closed, the weather isn't good enough for a cycle and the kids are hogging the tv so you can't use your aerobics dvd...
If walking is the only answer to your festive fitness, how useful is it? A good workout that's always overlooked or just a bit too easy an option? Three volunteers put some walking apps to the test to find out which are the best ones ... and who is doing the most steps in a day!
Gillian gets in on the act by walking throughout the whole programme - how many steps will she clock up in half an hour?
Nutritionist and trainer Scott Baptie visits Personal Best volunteer Fiona White at home to demonstrate some quick, tasty, nutritious recipes that will help her on her fitness and health journey.
Scott offers advice and inspiration on how to stay healthy throughout the Christmas food and drink excesses ... without spoiling our fun. Honest!
