Health and Fitness: Get the Katherine Jenkins look - Wharf

The Wharf's fitness columnist Laura Williams looks at how running is Katherine Jenkins' motivation for keeping fit and tells how you can do the same.

The singer has just completed the London Marathon and finds running a convenient sport.

How she does it: ''I'm not naturally a person that wants to exercise, but I find running is something I can do wherever I am in the world," said the 32-year-old singer.

Do it for yourself: These are my top tips for anyone tempted to hit the tarmac after last month's race:

? Be confident. Banish fears that you look silly, don't have the right kit and so on.

Remember that you're doing this to enhance your life so shelve those fears just for once.

? Train with someone who already has the bug. That could be your office running crew or a sporty partner or family member.

They can help you establish a routine and you won't feel like the new kid on the exercise block.

? Stick to your plan. When the body says no but the mind says go, go. Your body will catch up eventually.

? Set a deadline. If the marathon inspired you to take up running, start now - it really is the best time of year to put your best foot forward.

It's warm but not too warm and longer, lighter evenings make running later in the day that bit easier.

? Exercise first thing. When you've just had a tough day at work, it can be hard to add another tough hour onto an already tiring day. If you exercise first thing you will get it out of the way, and be energised.
