The most beautiful morning swim ever… 8.30am this morning at WCWP. Even better, I had the lake almost to myself. Didn’t want to get out of the water

Gorgeous morning for a swim although getting a bit autumnal in the air!

A couple of weeks ago I had a headache for three days. Head pain, nausea, muscle aches, the lot. Just couldn’t get rid of it. The pain meant it took me those whole three days to work out that my hydration, electrolytes and blood sugars had got all out of balance in the very warm weather. Since then I’ve been having a sachet of one of these hydration powders every morning and you know what, I feel really good. More energy, more mentally alert and no muscle aches! Especially during this warm weather I’d totally recommend finding yourself something like these. Apparently it’s easy for women, especially those with hormonal fluctuations, to get out of balance so it’s important to stay on top of things and try to manage your body. I’ve learnt my lesson! The powders I’ve used have no added sugars (just fruit extracts) and no artificial sweeteners. They have a fruity taste and I really like that they’re not really sweet.

Fab class this morning everyone; even in the shade it was so warm, but hopefully you’ll feel some muscles tomorrow! It’s not looking so nice right now…!!!

She knows what she’s talking about! Take it steady in the hot weather and rest if needed

Resting isn't cheating

If you've come to any of my fitness classes you'll have heard me say this a lot.

Because if we push on through when we're exhausted, or tiring of a particular exercise in a fitness class, we are more likely to injure ourselves (or have a negative experience of exercise, which is never a good thing!).

And because I hope that it might translate into other areas of your life too. That you can go easy on yourself on a tired day. Take a nap if you need to. Say NO to events, activities or cooking dinner because you're tired.

Because imagine how it feels to be well rested, to start from energy and joy? Good eh?

So, let me know how you might rest to refresh this week? I'd love to know!

Working in pairs this morning so brains engaged as well as muscles. Surprisingly cold too so we got moving and out of breath to keep warm
