Whether you just want to feel good, have that rush of New Year’s guilt or are a seasoned athlete, anyone who is making the effort to tie up their trainers and get fitter in 2016 deserves only encouragement.

One way to help push you up and off the sofa is to choose workout gear in mood-boosting bright colours.

You will feel more energised and confident and it will help motorists and pedestrians spot you out on the roads - if only for a few seconds as you whizz by.
