Get Fit for 2021 with Fit&Well: everything you need for your healthiest year yet
Start the new year as you mean to go on with a wealth of health, fitness and wellbeing advice from our experts
The year 2020 is firmly behind us - thank goodness for that. I don't know about you, but last year was a challenging one for me, to say the least. Here's hoping that 2021 is better for all of us.
Whilst a whole new year may be upon us, the global coronavirus pandemic is still very much ongoing across the globe - which means that looking after your health and fitness will stay top of the agenda for many of us this year.
That's why we've launched Get Fit for 2021, a series of helpful articles to set you up for success this year no matter what your goal - whether it's to lose weight, find a new fitness regime or follow a more balanced, healthy diet.
Here at Fit&Well, we’ll be bringing you a wealth of workouts, diet plans and expert advice throughout January to help kick-start your health and fitness goals.
Highlights will include our series of 30-day challenges, the perfect way to kick-start your year of fitness. I'll be practising what I preach by taking on my own challenge - five minutes of skipping every day for a month (there, I've said it. No going back now...). You can look forward to reading about my success - or otherwise - with that later down the line.
The aim of all of this? It's simple. To help you work out how to get fit in 2021, and inspire you to make t your happiest, healthiest yet.
So, are you with me!? Get going with the selection of Get Fit for 2021 reads listed below, and also follow our top tips to ensure you get the most out of it.
