Explore TODAY's health tip and learn how to shape your own personal health. — #Banburyshire_festival_of_health

We all know that we should take care of ourselves for a healthier life.

As soon as January rolls around each year and the post Christmas slump hits, it seems like everywhere you look there’s a new fitness craze being touted as the new cure all miracle.

Fitness centres across the country have an absolute field day as they start a price war to get their hands on some new customers, While the lycra-clad personal trainers might cash in on the chances of more than a few of us carrying a couple of extra mince pie pounds, it’s us mere mortals who really reap the most benefits from starting the New Year with our best foot forward.

We all know that we should take care of ourselves all year round but each January the allure of a clean slate makes us feel as though we can take on the world. This is probably why January is the most popular month to join a gym, when the excess of Christmas has taken its toll but the fresh start promised by a brand new calendar gives us a new lease of life.

Getting fit has so many health benefits that are especially vital in the winter months. Increased endorphins are the perfect antidote to the most miserable of days and there’s no better time to have an increased immune system than the dreary winter months.

To help out, we spoke with two local experts and asked for their top health tips

The first health tip is from Madeline Withers at Madz Studio in Banbury

Focus Together

Exercise is important – you need to do it – it has many health benefits – but if your focus is on weight lose it is important to think about what you eat as well.
Combine exercise and good nutrition with a small group of like minded people to motivate and inspire you – and a progress chart or diary for accountability….that help you reach your Health, Fitness and Well being Goals.
