Hi - I'm Vicki Swinden - welcome to FATTITUDE.

I'm fat, well over 20 stone in fact, but a while ago I recognised that the quality of my life could be greatly improved if I was fitter. I knew the being unfit meant I couldn't fully enjoy all the things life has to offer like playing in the garden with the kids, enjoying a stroll in the park, even shopping for hours on end.

I know what it's like as an overweight person to feel excluded - to feel that we don't count. People like you and me feel defeated when the glossy magazines depict what they consider an ideal and the more defeated and excluded we feel, the more we lose our sense of self-value, self-worth and self-esteem.

FATTITUDE aims to change all that. Words like obese and morbidly obese can frighten us into thinking that we can't be fit, that we can't enjoy life to the full. Don't let anyone tell you that there is anything you can't achieve!

Showing your FATTITUDE can become a way of life!

A Special Programme Just For Us

Louise Muir, a fitness expert, designed this special FATTITUDE workout programme and we tested it together to make sure that the exercises and routines were achievable for people, like you and I, who are overweight and maybe haven't exercised for a long time or find it difficult to get around.

FATTITUDE allows you to work at your own level of fitness and confidence. You can join either Julie, Linda or myself (all big girls!) on any one of the levels within in any of the five workouts available. By seeing that Julie, Linda and I can complete the workouts I believe you will find the confidence in yourself to do the same - to have a go and take the first steps towards a fitter you. Some of the workouts are designed to be completed in a seated position, and all of the routines can be completed in your own home, alone or with friends. You can start off in the chair in your living room!

It's great fun, easy to do and can and will make huge changes to your fitness which in turn makes positive changes to your lifestyle.
