Come strengthen your body & mind at the Club’s Gym as often as you can! Even though there are scientific reasons that men are stronger than women, it doesn’t mean that fitness exercises and workout are only meant for men. Below are the fitness tips for women that prepare them well towards physical exercises and workouts. • Women’s bones are prone to become weaker and more fragile as soon as they step in their thirties. It is crucial that they take special care of their bones, and try to include more calcium in their diet. • Paying attention to your diet, and never skip meals in the hope of losing weight quickly. IT DOES NOT WORK! • Include iron and folic acids in your diet for better blood circulation, by consuming more green leafy vegetables, beans, juices, chicken, etc. • Hook on to cardio, either by joining a gym or simply jogging or climbing stairs. Any kind of cardio is good for you. • Get some ‘me time’, to replenish your energy and recharge your mind and body. Read a book, go out for a stroll, or listen to soothing music. Whatever makes you feel relaxed. Don’t let that effort go waste and start implementing at least some of them as soon as possible. It’s great to stay healthy; it’s great to stay fit!!!
