Train Happy

Let go of the "exercise rules" and learn to love working out!

Broadcaster and personal trainer Tally Rye is on a mission to change the way we think about exercise. Gone are the days of restricted eating programmes and high-intensity training plans that send your body into shock and are unsustainable in the long term. Tally's approach is a straightforward pass to feeling happy in your health plan and staying motivated. This is about being your personal best and not competing with anyone else and is reinforced with supporting endorsements from the best body confidence influencers.

Comprising an 12-week challenge, users will learn how to build cardio, resistance and relaxation workouts into their lifestyle with ease, following exercises specially devised by Tally from her experience as co-founder of #GirlGains and host of the Fresh and Fit podcast on BBC Sounds, as well as in class at the best UK and international gyms. The only equipment you really need is an exercise mat and the timer app on your phone. There are also weekly motivational challenges that include meditation exercises, and the exercise alphabet which builds 26 quick reps to try at the weekend before you relax and recover from your week.

Use this as an opportunity to re-connect your mind and body so you can enjoy the multitude of benefits an active lifestyle brings, such as improved mood, fitness, strength, confidence, increased energy, better posture and much, much more! Focus on using this guide as a way to stay consistent, try new things (starting with as gentle as a brisk walk), get out of your comfort zone and find lots of new ways to stay motivated beyond aesthetic goals.
