Tranquil Tuesday in the cat sanctuary.

I've now changed my working hours to accommodate my dreadful sleeping pattern, perimenopause reduces melatonin and dopamine production,resulting in insomnia or broken sleep and ofcourse trying to access melatonin from your gp just another battle .

Cats on the other hand seem to sleep endlessly despite doing absolutely nothing to make them tired ...obviously too much effort for garfield to go any further once we got in from our walk !!!

18.30/19.30 dont forget your foam roller.
Don't worry if you haven't got yours yet you can still train without it .
The foam roller will create instability which will in turn force our small deep stabilising muscles to fire up.
Placement tailbone (sacroiliac joint ) ...theres direct correlation between ribcage and pelvis do super important the ribcage doesn't flare .
Foot placement, centre of the foot until you feel more confident then heels ...but we will go through this .

Trigger point release with pods.
Self myofascial release (foam roller required but you can use the pods provided).
