| | 02nd Apr 2013 |  You know about your five-a-day, but do you know about your 150 minutes a week?
We all know the Government's recommended guidelines for daily intake of fruit and veg, but how much exercise do we need to do for improving and maintaining health? The guidelines differ for different age-groups, but for adults aged 19-64, daily activity is recommended and either 150 minutes per week of moderate- intensity aerobic activity, together with muscle-strengthening activities for all major muscle groups on at least 2 days a week or 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, together with muscle-strengthening activities for all major muscle groups on at least 2 days a week or an equivalent mix of moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, together with muscle-strengthening activities for all major muscle groups on at least 2 days a week.

The weather may be harsh and I know that the last thing you are thinking about is getting into beach-wear, but now is the time to get rid of the winter blues and exercise! Get rid of those Christmas pounds and enjoy getting fit and trim in time for summer. Kettlercise will get your cardiovascular system working and start to tone all those wobbly bits - Go on - give it a go - you'll love it.

| | 04th Feb 2012 |  Just LOVE Kettlercise!
Following a brilliant day of kettlebells in Manchester last Sunday, have been preparing to launch my new Kettlercise class over the next couple of weeks. I think it’s a fantastic workout - furious but FUN (and a really great fat-burner too). Gets the cardiovascular system working, as well as strengthening and toning the muscles, and those core muscles are being challenged all the way through!
Tasters planned for 13th and 15th Feb at Eyam Mechanics, then kick off with a 6-week course on 23rd Feb at Bradwell.

The intrepid Body Blasters 2012 enjoyed a beautiful, moon- and starlit night sky while powering round a 5-mile circuit last night. Given the weather during the day - grey and drizzly - this was an unexpected bonus. Using a combination of level 1, level 2 and level 3 walking, we were round in under 75 minutes - fantastic work, ladies!

OK so we might have woken up to a hard frost this morning but - wow! - what a beautiful day then blossomed: the bulbs jauntily pushing their way up through the earth, just waiting for their petals to burst into bloom - I’m no gardener, but it’s on days like these that I feel so privileged to have a really good excuse to get out and walk, jog, cycle around this glorious area. Getting/keeping fit doesn’t need to be a drag - it’s exhilerating and liberating and there are so many ways of making it enjoyable and FUN!

| | 15th Feb 2011 |  They did it!
Friday,11 February saw the Body Blasters regroup for their six-week review - a reassessment following the two-week kickstart of the Body Blast course and subsequent four weeks of logged-but-independent training activity. All felt more energised and had made progress in terms of both cardiovascular and muscle tone and endurance. Not least important, the verdict was that it had been great fun and should be repeated at other points during the year. Well, I really enjoyed it too and will look into follow-up “mini-blasts” - congratulations, all of you, and wear your badges with pride!

All that snow and ice in December kept many of us confined to barracks, with only the (fool?)hardiest venturing out for exercise. Then we had the usual festive excesses leading to ... ouch! extra and unwanted pounds on the scales and inches on the waist/hips. Enter Body Blast! For five intrepid exercisers, the challenge to fight back the flab and boost their metabolism for 2011 was ON: two weeks, six intensive sessions of indoor and outdoor activities. Congratulations, guys - you were GREAT and I’ve been thrilled by your positive response and the results achieved in just two weeks!
