Stress Management Matters

Exercise isn't only about physical health.
Movement, yoga and mindful exercise have all been shown to help reduce stress, improve mood and support better sleep.

Looking after your mental wellbeing is just as important as looking after your physical health.

After all, yoga has been around for over 5,000 years.... I've been practicing it for nearly 40 years.....There must be something in it!

Namaste 🙏

Exercise Shouldn't Be Punishment!

A lot of people think fitness has to leave them exhausted, sore or dreading the next session.

The evidence is clear: consistency beats intensity for long-term health and fitness outcomes.

Find movement you enjoy and you'll be far more likely to stick with it and reap the benefits!

Core Strength Is More Than Abs

A strong core helps support posture, balance, movement efficiency and can even reduce the risk of some types of back pain.

Core training isn't about six-packs. It's about creating a body that moves well and feels strong.

I run a 30 minute Core Conditioning class on Wednesday mornings to help you strengthen and work this whole area.

Menopause & Exercise

Exercise can be one of the most effective non-medical tools available to support women through perimenopause and menopause.

Numerous sports sciences studies show strength training and regular physical activity can help support bone health, body composition, mood and overall wellbeing.

It's one reason I've recently completed additional specialist training in this area to fully support my clients going through this stage of life.

Strength Matters

From our 30s onwards we naturally begin to lose muscle mass if we don't actively work to maintain it.
Don't be fooled into thinking that strength training is just for athletes or bodybuilders. It can be one of the most vital things we can do for healthy ageing, independence, bone health and our metabolism.
That's why resistance exercise features in many of my classes and programmes 💪💪

One of the biggest predictors of future health isn't what you do occasionally—it's what you do consistently.

Your future self will thank you for starting today!💪💪 (Although this picture was from a few weeks ago! 😂😂😂)

With everything going on this week, I haven't had the chance to say how pleased I am to have successfully completed my certification in

Training Menopausal and Peri-Menopausal Women.

As a fitness professional, I've always been passionate that learning never stops. Despite all my years of experience, the more knowledge and understanding I continue to gather, the better I can support my clients through every stage of life and health.

Menopause and peri-menopause can bring significant physical and emotional changes, and evidence-based exercise can have an important part to play in the management of symptoms, maintaining strength, supporting good bone health, improving confidence, and enhancing overall wellbeing.

This further qualification forms part of my ongoing commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and reflects my commitment to maintaining the highest professional standards through my CIMSPA endorsement and accreditation.

I've always been passionate about providing safe, inclusive, and effective exercise guidance for all, and I'm looking forward to putting this additional knowledge into practice to support both existing and future clients.

Investing in further education to me, means investing in better outcomes for the people I work with.

Thank you for all of the kind messages I've received from many of you, following my Addison's Crisis and my hospital admission. You are all very kind! I'm on a robust drug plan now and hopefully if I continue to improve, I can be back PT-ing on Friday. But unfortunately, no classes for me this week 😞.
Addison's Disease is such a complex condition, particularly if you're doing so much fitness 💪. When your body doesn't produce vital hormones and chemicals , you have to second guess anything that may need an increase, when normal bodies do it automatically. Every day has the potential to put you in crisis 💙

I've always said about the benefits of resistance training and now there is new evidence that a couple of sessions of strength training a week could help reduce the risk of dying early, (according to research highlighted by the BBC)

Whether it's weights, resistance bands, or bodyweight exercises, building strength doesn't require hours in the gym. A couple of sessions each week could benefit your health and help you stay stronger for longer.

Small effort, big rewards 💪💪

Regular weight training can help you keep fit and strengthen muscles to live longer, research suggests.
