When you're focusing on health and fitness and leading a more balanced lifestyle, what becomes clear is that you need to have a plan in place if you want to achieve any real change. As with every aspect of life, realizing dreams takes more than imagination and improvements and transformations come with setting goals and putting in place techniques to reach these ambitions.

Ever noticed that your mood and your perspective changes the way you see and interact with the world? When you are feeling negative, like can attract like. That's why a positive mental attitude to getting fit can create the right support network and fitness opportunities.

Every woman wants to be in the best health possible when pregnant, not only for her own health but that of her baby too. A new study in the Gambia suggests that a woman's diet before conception may have an impact on the genetics of her child-to-be; affecting her son or daughter's long term health and the function of the child's genes.

Getting in shape and keeping fit should be taken taken seriously as it will ensure that you enjoy better health and an improved quality of life but that doesn't mean it can't be fun too. And now your phone can help you get the exercise buzz. As the number of fitness apps increases so too does the variety and there are many interesting, quirky and downright different tech treats in store to help motivate you, get you moving and help you reach your goals.

One of the marvellous benefits of a good exercise plan has to be how it promotes a good night's sleep. And for insomniacs out there, or those women with disturbed sleep patterns, the value of getting in some good quality z's cannot be underestimated.

An exercise plan can be a healthy part of a recovery plan; however as prevention is better than cure, there is a lot to be said for adopting a fitness strategy that can help guard against certain ailments and certainly minimize the risk of injuries. Along with exercise to energize for recovery, you might want to consider the protective power of exercise too!

Exercise is good for the health.

Do you want to tone, tighten, and strengthen? Do you want to look and feel good? Women who want to make positive changes to themselves often turn to the transformational power of a great exercise program. However, while a good workout can definitely have a real impact there are other areas such as diet, lifestyle and attitudes that you can focus on too so that you can really get your life in shape.

Whether you're just starting out on a new fitness path, are well and truly set on an exercise regime or are on the final push towards achieving your goals, you need motivation to see you through. With the best will in the world, it is a motivating power that will inspire you to succeed and keep on going when the going gets a little tough.

According to recent research, motivation really is all in the mind, or in the memory that is! If you are lacking that get-up-and-go in exercise sessions then you could try recalling a past workout to give you a boost and get you moving. Of course, you need to keep future goals in mind but it seems you might be able to use your past to make a difference to the here and now.
