Happy New Year 2018

I am feeling really excited about the coming year. We have the Wellbeing Day drawing ever closer (we sold out so quickly that I am planning another this summer too) and classes continue to go from strength to strength. Talking about strength, this is the theme I would like to explore further as a focus for 2018.
This won’t sound completely new as if you train with me you will know that strength is a personal fitness goal. But this year I want to develop my strength goal to become more than a just a physical focus but a holistic theme incorporating food and lifestyle.
By strong I don’t mean bulging biceps and a well-defined six pack but robust immune and digestive systems, resilient adrenals a healthy heart and cardiovascular system, tough bones and a strong mind.
Exercise has a big part to play in all these areas. I still feel that the wider benefits of exercise are overlooked with too much of the emphasis being on fat loss. To achieve a strong body and mind exercise choices need to incorporate:

• Resistance training to strengthen the bones and build lean muscle;
• Getting hot and sweaty to strengthen the heart and cardio vascular system
• Pilates to strengthen the core and balance the muscular system
• Restorative activity such as walking, and mindfulness to building adrenal resilience and help manage stress

But exercise is only one part of the equation, good nutrition is required to build strong bones, lean muscles and provide fuel for energy. Positive self-care strategies can also make a big difference and will support good food and the right exercise in creating a healthy body and mind.

So how can you translate all this into something more meaningful for a new years resolution?

• Attend a weekly resistance training class
• Practice Pilates
• Eat more vegetables
• Cut down on sugar, alcohol, and processed foods
• Adopt a screen curfew
• Build in time to see friends and have fun
• Do more of what makes you happy
