SWEAT Bangor

Hello ladies!

It’s been a while!! 😅😅 I hope you’re all well, I’ve missed you!

I’m finally finishing my degree this month 🎉 and I’m starting to plan what I can do afterwards….what can I say, I like to keep busy! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

💪🏼 Would there be any interest in bringing back a Tuesday and/or Thursday class??

Let me know if you’d come along, either comment or send me a message with which days would suit!

Also let me know what kind of class you’d like to see- Kettlebells or Full Body Circuit, or one of each etc?!

Thank you in advance, and I hope to see you all soon! 😆❤️

If you feel a bit slower, weaker or less fit after taking a break from exercise, it's nothing to worry about. Each step back is worth celebrating and it's all about enjoying the journey back into it.

We’re so lucky to live in an area with soooooo much choice for how we can move our body!

Movement doesn’t always have to happen in the gym 💪🏽

And it’s always good to try new things and to mix things up.

It’s actually been proven that new experiences and avoiding the same old routine is good for us! ✨

Make the most of this beautiful weather and move your body in the outdoors this week ☀️

❎ No Kettlebells this Friday sorry! ❎

Give Blood are at the centre 🩸

Circuits is still on tomorrow night though- 5:30-6:15pm 💪🏽

We are looking for participants for a menstural cycle study at Bangor University.

Please contact Dr Sophie Harrison if you’re interested in taking part- [email protected] or 01248 382303.

Football is on…I’m out! ⚽️😂

Loti and I took a walk to Llyn Cefni and back this afternoon whilst the boys were watching football.

Took it nice and easy after getting a lil injury last week, but we keep moving 👣

I’ll be walking more than weight training for a bit whilst I recover, so please let me know….

Where are your favourite walks in Gwynedd/Anglesey/Conwy?

Gimme ideas please! 🙏🏼

PS swipe to the last photo: have you spotted these Fitness Trail signs around Anglesey?! I can’t find any information on them online, but so far I’ve seen one in Llangefni and another in Menai Bridge!

The gym isn’t for everyone, so find something you enjoy where you can move your body! 💪🏽

Taking up something different can bring you a joy you never thought you'd find, just like Lara found in pole fitness. 👏

Let us know an exercise or activity you've taken up that doesn't feel like a workout.

I’ve chosen to do my year 3 research project about walking and its benefits, particularly for postpartum women 👶🏻

But the more I’m researching walking, the more I’m realising just how AMAZING it is for EVERYONE! ✨

There’s research to prove that even 5 minutes per day can provide benefits…5 MINUTES!! Obviously the more you walk, the more benefits you’ll get 😏

Starting tomorrow, try to get outside for 30 minutes a day…split it into 10/15 minute chunks if necessary! 💪🏽

You’ll soon be reaping the benefits:
✅ Better sleep
✅ Better mood
✅ Less anxious
✅ Less irritable
✅ Lowered risk of cardiovascular disease eg heart attack/stroke
✅ Lowered risk of hypertension
✅ Lowered risk of some cancers
…and so many more!

For these reasons alone isn’t it worth getting your trainers on and getting some steps in 👣
