There is no end goal to getting in shape. You’re signing up for a lifestyle, not a six week challenge.
Whether you’re a lady or a man, over a particular age, or under - it’s the same - you need to lift heavy things and get out of breath regularly, consistently and for the long-haul - so find something / somewhere you enjoy.
Here, we have 18 acres of private woodland; no mirrors, no loud music, no standing in lines, no bad smells: just clean air, earthy and loamy offering a rich and immersive sensory experience alongside your workout.
The airborne antimicrobial compounds known as Phytoncides, are chemicals and essential oils released by trees to protect themselves from insects, bacteria and fungi. Inhaling these volatile oils are proven to enhance immune function, reduce stress, anxiety and symptoms of depression, to improve sleep quality and lower blood pressure.
The distinct aroma of the woodland floor, the rich dark smell of decomposing organic matter, is known as Humic or Humus and this scent is so grounding that inhaling it has been shown to relieve stress, elevate mood, and trigger the release of the bonding hormone oxytocin.
We got down close to the woodland floor today, with some Half-Kneeling Windmills; strengthening our core, building shoulder stability and improving hip and spinal mobility - adding to the fun when the weight was exchanged for a full cup of water!
Muddy knees, laughter, smiles, stronger bodies and improved moods all around.
So much more than just a workout - a profound and beneficial impact on your whole self, improving both your physical and mental well-being.
