“Pilates is only for women” ❌…..

Pilates is hugely beneficial for men and here’s why👇

1) reduces stress as you are taking your mind into your body and away from daily stress

2) stress and cortisol destroy testosterone levels, so decreasing stress increases testosterone and stops it from decreasing.

3) recovery and prevention:
Pilates is focused muscle contraction, injuries usually occur due to poor muscle coordination and/or lack of correct stabilising muscles. Pilates is medicine for this.

Did I mention visible abdominal muscle differences?
Oh yeah, Pilates happens to be one of the best exercises for core strength, stability and therefore muscle growth which makes your abs pop more.

It’s time to get the men involve:

In September I signed up to a course for a year called compassionate enquiry with Dr Gabor Maté

I procrastinated for months whether I should do this course as it is a big commitment to my already busy schedule.

Six weeks in and I am now fully immersed into weekly webinars, practice sessions and meetings.

I have stepped completely out of my comfort zone and I’m learning a brand-new skill, meeting people from all over the world from different backgrounds and skills.

Compassionate inquiry is a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr Gabor Maté that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.

The intention is that individuals can connect to the truth within themselves in the present moment, become free from self generated suffering and gain insight, clarity and choice in their behaviour. We learn about childhood development, trauma addiction and stress.

Once I finish my intensive training I will be offering compassionate coaching sessions.

Follow my journey here as I progress through the next few months 🤍

My favourite things about the menopause, because sometimes it's good to think about the positives too!

•A time to reflect on what I have achieved so far in my life.

•To take a look at the people surrounding me in business and my personal life. Are they positive , Supportive and non judgmental ?
Would they message you out of the blue and say ‘I love you ‘ or how are you doing ? .. yes ! … I have a few of them and I am extremely grateful for them💜 I’m not sure I would have got through this difficult year without them.

•A time to reset – the health and fitness journey, realising I don’t need to run endless miles and work out with numerous HIIT sessions leaving me feeling exhausted and dreading the next run.

•being kinder to myself, and treating myself how I treat others .Saying NO more . How liberating this feels ..doing the things that I want to do because I get pleasure from them and choosing the people that I want to spend my time with during my spare time

•Not giving a S**T about what other people think ( I think I’m finally grasping this at age 52!)

•enjoying daily dog walks on my own

•learning a brand new skill and stepping out of my comfort zone with

EMBRACE THIS TIME (we are hopefully only half way through our lives) this is the time to get strong and be kind to yourself .

What are your positive changes during menopause ?

06/10/2022

I started having noticeable symptoms when I was about 48.

I had regular palpitations, increased anxiety and night sweats.

I discovered that my usual fitness routine wasn’t working for me anymore.

(I was exhausted a lot of the time especially after high impact exercise and I wasn’t feeling relaxed or energised .

I took full advantage within this transition to look at my whole work / life balance. My mid life road map is a very different one to I had 5 years ago and I am feeling much better.

How is your menopause journey ?
