Peace & Kindness at Christmas

With Christmas approaching many of us are making plans and getting ready for the festive time.

While for many of us this is a time for joy and getting together. For some this may not be so.

With ongoing conflict in parts of the world, homelessness and other social difficulties, its important at this time, to also remember those who are struggling more.

To help bring peace and kindness at Christmas, however small a thing we can do, it can make a big difference to someone struggling.

This is just a small call and reminder to have a joyous time this Christmas, and also consider what we can do to help those who are struggling. Small acts of kindness are also acts of kindness to yourself. 🙏

There is always something we can do, no matter how small 🙏💕

To your Health and Happiness 😊🙏

3 Top Benefits of Yoga

With Yoga having become more popular, if you haven’t tried it yet you may have asked yourself, if it’s something for you. In many ways everyone can benefit from Yoga. Here 3 top benefits of yoga that may be just what you need for your training plan in the new year.

Improved flexibility- being an important component of our overall fitness, however often neglected. This is something we all can benefit from, It will help to reduce stiffness and muscle aches also.
Improved mindfulness- throughout the yoga class you are encouraged to focused on your breathing and stay connected throughout, whilst in each of the postures. This helps you to increase your mindfulness, bringing you back in to the present moment and ultimately connect to your higher self.
Improved calm – if you suffer at all with stress or anxiety, which many do in todays busy lifestyles. Then yoga can help bring back a sense of calm and ease in to your life. Even just one class a week can make a big difference.

If these 3 top benefits of yoga sound like something you may need, then I’m excited to announce I have two new yoga classes starting in January 2024. They are early weekday mornings, Monday & Wednesday 9.30am and so ideal for mums.

Please drop me a msg below if you would like to book a trial class for January and add some of these great benefits to your life for the new year.

Positive Focus

Becoming aware of our mindstates and taking charge of our focus, is a very important and helpful practice for our overall wellbeing.

Once we are our more aware of our mindstate and then able to consciously choose thought processes, we can direct our mind to a positive focus.

Our inner world can shape our outer world so once we have a more positive focus, it becomes far easier to have a more positive lifestyle.

Our choices are vital in directing where we want to go and adapting accordingly, and with a positive focus we will contue to make more positive choices and outcomes.

Leading to positive habits that stay. It all begins within.

Through the practice of deep looking, we can identify the positive seeds we want to water everyday. Even a few days of this can bring transformation. 🙏

3 Steps to Finding Opportunities

Finding opportunities in our lives can help to keep life fun, exciting and engaging. Without the mindset of seeking opportunities, life may become dull and routine as we can become stuck in situations that do not satisfy our needs.

So what are some ways you can find the best opportunities and ensure they fit your needs and goals?

The following is a 3 step process to help you do so;

Identify your needs, intentions and desired outcomes– it’s vital to be clear on these otherwise you may be pulled in to another’s way and goal or distracted in some other way.
Be open minded and adaptable– once you have your outcomes in mind, it is important to be open minded because the way to your outcome may appear to you in various ways. Once you see an opportunity, if it feels right then follow it and be open to adapt as it may change along the way.
Trust your intuition on the journey– as with all journeys things can change and adapt so part of finding opportunities is trusting your intuition. This will lead you to the right place and time when you need to adapt and discover something new.

As always, enjoy the journey, life’s an adventure, a discovery and with this mindset you’ll find many opportunities.

Yours in Health and Happiness 🙂🙏

Towards Dreams

“Before a dream is realized, the soul of the world tests everything that was learned along the way.

It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream.

That’s the point at which most people give up. It’s the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one ‘dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.” – Unknown

To Gym or not to Gym

With online and home workouts having become more popular since the Pandemic, what actually is the best way to workout, is it to Gym or not to Gym.

For sure you can have great workouts without the gym but keeping good form is essential therefore it is advisable to have a trainer and/or good guidance when you’re following an at home workout plan.

Some of the benefits of not using a gym are;

• Convenience-(saving time)

•Easily accessible

• Healthier-(especially if outdoors)

And of the gym;

• More sociable

• Can be more motivational

• More options and advice

Both ways have advantages and disadvantages and it really depends on what works best for you. The most important thing is that you do exercise and that it’s effective and constructive.

If you need any further support and advice on how you can exercise at home, please do get in touch via the form below.

To your healthiest and best 🙏💛💫

Inspire by Example

“To teach is to inspire, to inspire is to teach. Aim to teach always by example.”

Through our own example we can inspire those around us, especially those younger than us in years or experience.

Therefore always remember that when you are looking after you, when you are doing all you do, it’s not just you who is looking, others are becoming inspired by you too.

All the more reason to look after your health and always do the best you can do for yourself and others.

Live morally and to the best of your ability and this will always shine through. Those younger than you will be inspired by you and some will choose to follow too.

Let this be more motivation to always do your best and follow guidelines and ethics.

Growing the love for what you do, as you inspire others too. 🙏💛🙂

To your Healthiest and Best,

5 Benefits of Calisthenics

Moving over from a weight based training programme to purely Calistheics was something I decided to do a few years ago and it has definitely benefited my movement practice in many ways.

These are my top 5 benefits of Calisthenics;

Improved mobility; this one is extremely noticeable, all movement becomes much easier and more fluid.
Whole body strength; within Calisthenics training you are using your whole body in movement, therefore increasing strength all over.
Easier on the joints; although it can be very challenging as a movement practice, it is far easier on the joints.
Doesn’t require equipment; for some exercises, equipment such as bars and bands can be used, but for most this is not required, and for all the exercises very little space is needed.
Improves balance and core strength; due to controlling your own body weight and movement this adds the additional benefit of improving your balance and core strength greatly.

Many people do a combination of Calisthenics and weights and some purely one or the other. However if you are someone who hasn’t given this a try and would like to know more, please get in touch for ideas and programmes.

And as always,

Happy training 😊🙏

5 Benefits of Circuit Training

With so many types of training to choose from it can be hard to know what type of training to do for your goal. This post will particularly focus on the benefit of circuit training, so you can decide if this may be the right one for you.

5 Benefits of Circuit Training;

Adaptable and fun; With a variety of stations it keeps the training interesting, as it always different.
Challenging; Often being time focused, you are more challenged than you would be in a normal gym session, as you are set to push as much as possible in a short space of time.
Something for everyone; Within a circuit there are some exercises you may love and some maybe not so, but you can be sure to never get bored.
Great for a variety of goals; Circuits can be set with a variety of goals in mind. Some more fitness based, some strength and others are more sports specific. Check it out at your local gym if you’re unsure of the focus of the circuit.
Connection with others; Being in a class environment you will have the added benefit of connection with others, as well as the instructor being there to help keep you motivated.
Motivating Music; A key part of staying motivated in training can be the music. Circuit Training sessions often use some of the top music playlists going to help you push through each station and reach your goals.

If you haven’t tried Circuit Training yet and think it may be for you, why not give it a go, others than maybe some stubborn Ibs you have nothing to lose 😉

I hope you found this helpful in deciding what type of training may currently be best for you.

As part of a 3 part series, look out for the next post on Calisthenics, and as always if you need any further help and support with your training needs please do get in touch.

To your healthiest and best 🙏
