BBC Radio Scotland - Fit in 5, Creating Healthy Habits

Tom Urie gathers together all the support you need to help you get fitter and healthier. This week, creating healthy habits and building a support network around us.

Do you start off every January determined to get fit and lose weight then fall at the first hurdle?  If so, you're not alone!  It’s much easier to tackle fitness and food with the support of others so why not let Fit In 5 inspire you to success this time round?  

Weight-loss hero Tom Urie presents a new, five-part series packed full of information and advice, to help you to get fitter and healthier in 2019.

Fitness expert Ross Stewart and nutritionist Carla Robertson are on board each week, offering simple tips and setting achievable goals for the days ahead … and we’ll be charting the progress of our three Fit In 5 volunteers Samantha, Paul and Alistair.

In the second programme, the volunteers will be updating us on how they got on with last week’s fitness and food challenges.

Ross discusses how we can go about creating healthy habits that will stick and explains the importance of building a support network round us.  He’ll also be demonstrating three more simple exercises we can all incorporate into our lives and suggesting a walking challenge for this week.

Carla shows us how to make a simple, nutritious prawn and pasta dish which can be done in 15 minutes, perfect for a midweek tea when you’re short of time.
