I spent much of the weekend outside looking at glorious tree colours and feeling much better for it.
The combination of moving your body in the great outdoors with like-minded people can only make you feel happier! Join me in one of my park sessions soon x

Spending just 20 minutes in nature can lower blood pressure, heart rate and stress levels.

Everyone knows we need to do strength/resistance training as we get older ,but not necessarily why. Here's a good, simple explanation.

"Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and strength, becomes more common with age and can decrease lifespan and quality of life.

Eating enough calories and high-quality protein can slow down the rate of muscle loss. Omega-3 and creatine supplements may also help fight sarcopenia.

Nevertheless, exercising is the most effective way to prevent and reverse sarcopenia.

Resistance exercises appear to be particularly effective, including using resistance bands, lifting weights or doing calisthenics like squats, push-ups and sit-ups.

However, even simple exercises like walking can slow your rate of muscle loss. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to get active." Source, Healthline.

For all of you who come to my sessions, you’ll know there is rarely a workout which doesn’t include the humble squat. You may groan - but here’s why I do them! There are so many benefits- in fact, I can think of 10 at least! In no particular order, here goes :-

1. Tones, firms and shapes legs and buttocks
2. Improves tendon, ligament and bone strength which lowers your chance of injuries
3. Develops speed potential and strength overall
4. Boosts joint health- knees, hips and ankles all get involved when you squat !
5. Strengthens the core — and we all know how important that is!
6. Can be a good way to burn energy and thus calories
7. Able to be done anywhere - and there are so many variations you’ll never get bored. ( Well…)
8. Strengthens glutes and quads - big muscle groups in your body.
9. Increases hip mobility
10. Leaves you feeling- and looking- good!

So - next time you may just be tempted to complain, just focus on the many reasons to love a squat! Next post - I will be discussing technique and variations.

This is just such an inspiring piece about a 93 years young guy called John who lives in South West London and is nicknamed The Legend by his friends. There's no such thing as being too old for anything. It's all down to your attitude , helped by a healthy dose of positivity. And he is living proof that exercise works!

Known to his friends as the Legend, John Starbrook is living, breathing proof of the power of exercise and enthusiasm. I tried to keep up with him – and barely survived
