Did you start your health goals this week?
For me it was lovely to start easy with Aerobics on Wednesday and then just a few classes
I did have to start even easier than I thought I would have to though...
We had a fun New Years Day - going in to Manchester to go bowling
I was very happy to win our first game and get the highest score I've ever had!
We also did a bit of ping pong and karaoke
As we were leaving we spotted a punching ball test your strength so decided to have one last challenge
I've heard tales of people breaking their thumbs if they make a fist with the thumb inside. So I made sure no-one did that
And yet
When it was my go, I don't know what happened, but it bent my thumb right back
I tried to change my position each time and yet THREE TIMES I bent my thumb back!
It really hurt and the next day it was inflamed
So I decided not to use weights in Total Body Tone on Thursday
This meant I had no aches the next day, despite not having exercised for a while
But does that mean it didn't count?
The Fitness Industry makes lots of rules
- it has to hurt to be working
- it has to be hard
- it has to be fast
- it has to take hours
But the truth is that all movement counts
Movement for health benefits can be anything - every time you move your muscles, there is a reaction in the cells which has an effect on the way tissues work
- So it can be low intensity
- Can be broken up into small amounts
- It can even be fun!
Research shows that 15 minutes of movement per day for 6-7 days shows the biggest difference in health risks
And that's why I'm starting my Fit in Fifteen course!
- If you are new to exercise
- If you have health goals but are finding it hard to get going
- If you find it hard to fit exercise into your day
- If you are unsure what you can do
Then this is the course for you!
You'll get a new 15 minute exercise every day over four weeks, accessed in a private Facebook group
Plus email tips on how to easily fit movement into your day
We start on the 15th and booking is open now - check the link below for details
