Here's your link for your roller guys .
Our next 6 week blocks will start
SEPTEMBER 14TH GLUTES/CORE/ABS.
SEPTEMBER 17TH FITNESS PILATES.

You will recieve A COMPLIMENTARY FOAM ROLLER ,STRETCH,MOBILITY session to accommodate your investment in buying the roller (date to.be confirmed once ive spoken to Alan about room availability).

This is a great piece of kit to have at home or to introduce alongside your own gym sessions and is going to allow us to introduce deeper core work and instability training into our classes .

Once you become proficient with your exercises progression is key to further developing your training.
Progression doesn't always need to be adding more resistance ,performing more reps or training longer and harder ,all of these can increase WEAR AND TEAR and thats something we want to avoid.
Integrating pilates with props and instability training within your lifting sessions is the absolute bullet proof way to TRAIN the body as a whole !
If you have any questions regarding the foam roller please send me a DM .
Thankyou for your continued support .x

No handweights tonight x

Big up to michelle who finished tonight's class and went straight for her 1 mile walk just as the heavens opened !!!
Doing cardio AFTER LIFTING puts you straight into you fat burning zone , the body depletes its glycogen stores during the lifting phase so has to go into its fat stores for energy ..its your winning formula.
Frustrated with perimenopause changes ive explained why things need to change and programmed for 6 weeks with the option of seeing me sooner if shes lacking in motivation.
The female body is a work of art yet we understand a fraction of it !
From year 7 there should be 1 session a week in the curriculum supporting women's health .
Educating young girls about oestrogen progesterone, testosterone and their function, what happens during each phase of their menstrual cycle and how best to nourish their body and brain during each phase , continuing throughout pregnancy and into perimenopause and post menopause.
Our hormones are the epicentre of our being yet we go through life with very little knowledge or understanding of the part they play .
We loose upto 95 pcent of our hormones during perimenopause.....yet are still expected to function as we did in our 20s .
Give yourself a round of applause ladies and your body a big hug !
There's not a single man that'd have got through that ball.combo heel lift tonight !!!!
Sorry boys but you wouldn't! Xx

I've just finished a course of EMDR therapy with cal.
EMDR is a proven talk.therapy that helps individuals heal from traumatic life events by allowing the brain to process stuck memories or trauma that we often play on repeat or that influence the now in a disproportionate way (this was the case with myself).
EMDR stands for eye movement desensitisation and reprosessing and works by revisiting past memories and using bilateral stimulation to go back and forth until the memory looses its painful feeling and is replaced with a different dialogue ( I am safe, that no longer holds power of me etc ) and re filed in the brain.
I genuinely feel like my brain has been through a deep clean.
Recently i found myself in a situation that would normally have activated every alarm bell, warning system and seen me spiral but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was activated , this in itself was alarming and I found myself waiting for hours for a delayed response ....no response , just a calm acceptance of ...wow thats lost its power .
Calvia Counselling & Psychotherapy talked me through the whole process from the preparation to the processing and I decided when it was complete ,I think general guidelines recommend 6 sessions, I felt i reached a real sense of completion in 4 .
This is an amazing space in which to explore the parts of ourselves that we are yet to reach or fully discover, without judgement or prejudice.
Highly recommend cal as a therapist, Carnforth based, the ironworks x
