Regardless of how much formal exercise you do, you still burn more overall calories from activities of daily living then you do from your formal exercise sessions. This is why you are constantly being told to; take the stairs; park an extra three blocks from work; sit on a Swiss Ball rather then a chair at work etc. These small things really do make a huge difference if they become part of your daily life.
On The Naked Trainer we have created a group called Gimme20, which is all about adding small 1 minute bursts of exercise to your day. Join the group and see what the buzz is about. As well as this I encourage you to formalise some of these activities (take the stairs, sit on Swiss Ball at work, walk to work, gardening, etc), add them to your weekly Naked Trainer plan, and make them part of your daily or weekly life.

- Make sure the goal is meaningful TO YOU
Make sure the goal is something that you are genuinely motivated towards as opposed to something that other people tell you to aim for.
- Write in the positive instead of the negative
‘Eat 5 servings of fruit and vege a day’ is a far more motivating goal then ‘eat less junk’.
- The more detail the better
Where ever possible a goal should be measureable and have specific time frames. A goal of ‘lose 10kg’ with a time frame of six months is far easier to plan and track then the general goal of ‘lose weight’.
- Aim high, but if the goal is long term then set short and medium term goals to keep you focused
If you want to ‘run a marathon’, but have done very little running up until now then set a short term goal of doing a 10km run, and a medium term goal of ‘run half marathon’.
- Write down your goals (This is the most important)
The simple act of writing down your goals significantly increases your chance of success. It is important to continually revisit and review your goals in order to track your progress, and adjust if need be.
The Naked Trainer provides the perfect place to write down your goals, set target dates and create a plan in order to guarantee success. Every time you jump on to enter your weekly activity your goals will be there in the right hand column, providing you’re the encouragement to keep going.

On Sunday 16 teams from around the lower North Island commandeered the TSB Bank Arena at Queen’s Wharf for the annual Indoor-pendence Day Ultimate Frisbee tournament. This was a development tournament specifically aimed at newer players to the very social game of ultimate frisbee. Meaning it was ideal to re-assemble a rag-tag team to join in the fun.
