Winter Weight Loss MAKING HEALTHY CHOICESAre you wondering how to maintain a healthy body weight, shed those unwanted kilograms or even eat to stay as healthy as possible? Starting from this issue of Insports Fit News we’ll be sharing healthy tips, portion sizes and food selection to ensure your health is the best it can be.

Check out our healthy portion plate and ensure your plate is divided up of mainly vegetables, serving of lean protein and a serving of healthy car-bohydrates. Be sure to stick to 1 serve of fat or oil per main meal and drink non sugary drinks, preferably water.

There is no perfect diet for ALL people and exact amounts and portions depend on your goals, fitness training requirements and current health so ensure you seek professional advice for individual needs.

MEMBER OF THE MONTHDONNA - Aqua LoganDonna first became a member of Insports Health and fitness in 2011 at the Logan North site. Donna took the opportunity to use the facility as she was feeling out of shape and needed to change her lifestyle to lose weight. Insports was perfect as she had started working at the aquatic centre.

Over time she has transitioned from spin classes being her favourite to falling in love with weight training. It’s now her ab-solute favourite thing to do in the gym.

Donna stays motivated by having NO ex-cuses !!! She says “I don’t want to go back to my pre gym days, I want to continue to improve my appearance, be fit and healthy and live a long, happy, fit, healthy and en-joyable life”.

Starting and continuing a regular exercise habit has benefited Donna in so many ways these include: Maintaining a healthy weight, enjoying great health, extra energy, more motivating and readiness to tackle challenges. Donna says “ for just 60 min-utes of your time each day you gain so much. I don’t negotiate my workout time, it’s become part of my lifestyle”

DONNA’S TipsConsistency is definitely the key.You need to have good nutrition. No matter what keep it up, its fun and you meet new people.See yourself as a work in progress as she still does. Even after shedding a whopping 35kg’sDonna also uses a food diary to track her daily nutrition. It’s a free app called ‘my fit-ness pal.Thank you so very much Donna for being our Member of the Month and sharing your story. Keep up the amazing work.
