April's health rules- 'HOW TO LIVE A HAPPIER LIFE'

April Ieremia is a former Silver Fern, television star and sports director. She talks to the Weekly about how she keeps herself healthy and well.

You’re a former Silver Fern and the director of sports at Westlake Girls’ High School – what is your one top tip for being active? 

Just do it. People who are in the early stages of getting motivated say, “Yes, I’ll do it”, but they don’t. So, the easiest thing is to remove the emotional voice and just put one foot in front of the other because as soon as you get going, regardless of whether it’s walking or whether it’s a full-on training session, it gets easier and the benefits from actually doing more become obvious.

What is your favourite way to move your body? 

My body can’t do much these days because all the running I did after netball led to muscle waste and knee issues. Netball gave me strong thighs, my knees were well supported, however, when I stopped playing netball, it gradually vanished. I walk a lot now, which gives me plenty of time to enjoy nature and daydream. I don't think we daydream enough these days.
