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?
