Are you investing in your health?

6/19/2022

0 Comments

 
I was reading an article the other day that really interested me and it was talking about how people are struggling to pay bills at the moment and about bills going up etc....BUT


How important it was that people still invested in their health.


They were saying that often when people are looking to save money one of the first things to go are things like expensive gym memberships and healthy shopping.


I get that we all have to look to save money wherever we can but investing in our health has to come quite high up the priority list I think, don't you?


An investment into getting some exercise and buying some healthy food is an investment into making sure we stay around as long as we can with the best quality of life we can.


SO my question to you today is where is your health and wellbeing on your priority list?????


It doesn't have to be expensive, you can shop wisely and still eat well, I am a very savvy shopper! And you don't have to pay massive gym membership fees if you don't want to......walking is free and exercise from home is cheaper with no petrol costs etc.


Let me know your thoughts on this? Perhaps you have recently stopped a gym membership due to cost or are shopping differently now?

Do you need convenience and flexibility?

6/14/2022

I asked my online class members to share some of the benefits they get from online classes with me .....these are some of the replies.....flexibility and convenience comes top!!!

"Great choice of classes which means I can put together my own specific plan! I can do them at a time that’s convenient 👏"

"I can exercise at any time, anywhere...on holiday, in the garden and in my pyjamas"

"Flexibility and variety. Flexibility of when you choose to do the classes and the variety of classes that you provide."

"Exercise at a time that suits you, amazing variety of classes that still has a community feel, great classes to repeat if you want to 👍"


I think that many people know they need to exercise but if they are trying to do something that requires a lot of effort, travelling to a venue, booking places, taking up a lot of time then they often stop as it just becomes a faff......this is where online fitness comes into its own....in my opinion......no travelling, choosing when and what classes you do without even leaving the house!

I love it when people get in touch to share how they found me and how they are getting on with my classes and course...this lovely message from Clare shows how online classes are so convenient for people........




" I have just watched your video and would like to say, I don't know how I found you to be honest as I don't do social media so I think it must have been you tube maybe. I was always searching for fitness videos but couldn't get into them and never returned back to one I found, but when I discovered yourself, the online fitness is fun, and if I'm busy 20-30 mins is easy to fit in. Although you have me hooked as I always manage 2 classes each time I log on.
I try to do all of your classes that are on the timetable every week and I do feel better, I also feel it's good for my mind as you get older its harder to remember moves and steps. You make them so enjoyable and because you are so genuine, you let Alfie join in you talk about your family it just feels like i'm working out with a friend.
I was a member of a gym before covid and I enjoyed the fitness but hated walking in alone and facing all of the people that would rather look at themselves, it wasn't for me so when covid hit I started walking but wanted to tone and strengthen I got weights but didn't know what to do with them, but now I have a happy balance.
I have got up this weekend nice and early logged on done 2 classes each morning and its not a chore because its out the way, done and I feel better "
 
Please get in touch with me if you want to be part of my online group.......10 classes a week that can be done live or on the replay to suit.......a mix of low impact, stretch and higher impact....something for everyone!!!!!!

My Thoughts in this uncertain time

3/13/2020

0 Comments

 
If you are anything like me you are finding the world a little bit of a scary place at the moment.......I have spent the last few weeks with my head in the sand a little bit...I am very much a carry on as normal person until I absolutely cannot...
 
I have taken the attitude that it is being sensationalised in the media and that if you are healthy you don't have to worry too much...
 
But even I in the last few days have started to become a little worried....
 
I couldn't get pasta or toilet rolls when I went shopping yesterday...I don't get the toilet roll thing...if someone could enlighten me?
 
But I do feel that as long as we follow the advice being given ....... be vigilant about hand washing etc then I am going to carry on as normally as I can....
 
One thing it has drawn me towards though is the need to stay as healthy as we can, we know that those with underlying health conditions as well as the elderly are at greater risk
 
So what can we do to stay as healthy as possible and keep our immune systems good? This article by Arianna Huffington about the healthy habits we can add to our lives...sums it up very well......have a read HERE .
 
These are always habits we should adopt but even more so at this time.....
 
We need to
 
Focus on sleep.....research shows from tests done that people who are tired are more likely to get colds etc..chronic lack of sleep causes a reduction in our immune system
 
Staying hydrated and avoiding processed foods....avoiding sugar can help us reduce chronic inflammation which contributes to the conditions that put us at greater risk of viruses
 
Finally avoid stress...this greatly impacts our immune system
 
So my message today is that I recognise this is an uncertain and worrying time for us all........but I think there is a need to keep calm, follow sensible precautions that we have been given, be vigilant about hand washing etc and try to continue with following a healthy lifestyle as much as possible
 
As I write this my classes are continuing as normal....people are still attending as normal and just making sure that they wash their hands and be sensible...the need to be healthy has never been greater..
 
Lots of love

Should I do weights if I want to lose weight?

3/11/2020

0 Comments

 
A question I get asked all the time....the answer is yes definitely!

I believe that having a mix of weight training, cardio and some sort of pilates/yoga style class in your routine is spot on ✅

Women worry that if they lift weights they will be bulky or that as they have heard muscle weighs more than fat they will put weight on which concerns them.....

Here's my opinion.....its hard for most women to bulk, women who want to bulk will work really hard to achieve that...most women doing something like Kettlebells or Body Pump will get a lean toned look.....and yes muscle does weigh more than fat but having more muscle will boost your metabolism and help you lose inches...leaving you looking and feeling better and stronger ✅✅ win win!! Much better to be strong, healthy, looking and feeling great........

 
As we get older it is really important too.......using weights will improve your muscle tone and also build up your bone density...so there are so many reasons why using weights is a GREAT IDEA....
 
 
I have weights based classes on my timetable if you want to try one.....
 
8pm Tuesday Kettlercise
10am Thursdays 50+ Kettlebells
6.15pm Thursdays Kettlercise
 
Do you lift weights? Are you concerned about becoming too bulky or it affecting that number on the scales?

1. Do yourself a food plan and make sure you have the right foods in the cupboard

2. Move your body more...go for walks, try new classes....the nights are getting lighter so let's get more active!

What does it feel like to walk into one of my classes?

2/11/2020

0 Comments

 
First of all I want to say that I totally get that it can be a really daunting experience to walk into any fitness class for the first time......so what can you expect in one of mine...
 
1. To be greeted by me with a welcome and a smile...I am always on the door when you arrive.....to say hello and chat with you if you need to tell me about any injuries or concerns
 
2. A non intimidating atmosphere...all my venues are church halls or school halls....we do not have mirrors or egos!!!
 
3. A mix of people......you will find all ages, shapes and sizes exercising together....working at their own level....I encourage and motivate but don't push beyond peoples means
 
4. You won't find the same thing 2 weeks running, I mix up music and moves so that you hopefully never get bored
 
5. A good atmosphere..the music is a massive part of my classes...and I believe music can really be used to enhance the mood...whether that is cranking it up in Kettlercise or chilling out in Pilates.
 
If you want to come and try a class check out my timetable HERE or drop me a message and we can chat about which classes might suit you....
