Keep Moving

Let's start with sport, because even the best diet doesn't come without a little exercise!

While French women aren't necessarily hardcore sport fans, they do like to keep on the go. On average, women walk more distances in France as it helps stop feelings of lethary, enables mental clarity, and prevents weight gain.

Their fitness program is based on regular daily excercise rather than a once-a-week power workout because the rest of the time, they're too busy enjoying life with a glass of wine.
