If you’ve been exercising for a while now then you’ll know how frustrating it can be if you get an injury that stops you from doing your usual activity – especially if you are training for a race or specific goal.

So this week, I share my advice on what exercises you can do if you have an injury and how it has helped my client to maintain her fitness and set a new 10K PB at the weekend!

Just click on the video above to listen to my advice and please do get in touch if you have any specific questions or would like to discuss how we can help you with personal training or sports massage.

Note: This advice is suitable for beginner level upwards, but please consult your GP or physiotherapist if you are unsure about any potential contraindications.

As lots of you are away on holiday or will be going soon, I want to encourage you to use the time to plan ahead for your Autumn (or Christmas!) health, fitness & weight loss goals.

Just click on the video above to listen to my advice and start setting those goals so you can instantly feel more positive – even if you don’t start taking action until next month.

And don’t be panicking if you’ve put on weight or lost some fitness over summer – it’s inevitable if you are out of routine and on holiday. The main thing is you have a plan of action for when you are ready to get back to normal routine.

If you have any questions please do get in touch!

I’m sure you’re thinking no foods are off-limit when on holiday (because, you’re on holiday!) and to a certain extent that’s true, but what I want to talk about is making smarter choices to prevent weight gain.

So in this week’s video blog, I talk about what foods to eat & what to avoid whilst on holiday so you can maintain your weight & feel more confident about your body.

If that doen’t encourage you to eat smarter then I don’t know what will!

If you’re not currently following an exercise programme then I’m sure your answer would be a big fat NO, but if you have been training over the past few months then you may be wondering how the time off could impact on your goals.

So in this week’s video blog, I talk about the types of active recovery you could be doing whilst on holiday.

My advice is suitable for everyone – regardless of whether you are currently exercising or not.

Benefits of active recovery:

Fitness & muscle tone maintenance

Release of “feel good” hormones

Burning holiday calories to maintain weight

Mental recovery to feel fresh & energised

Reduce muscle & joint stiffness

If those benefits don’t encourage you to keep active on holiday then I don’t know what will!
