April Challenge… 30 press ups per day for 30 days!


Happy April Everyone!

It is finally starting to look like spring! With spring comes lovely salads, fruits, more outings and less clothing, so with the success of the 100 squats per day challenge last month I challenge you all to add 30 daily press ups!

You will notice beautiful toned arms or for the men, firmer pecs and generally feeling stronger and looking better, you may find your shoulders feel looser as a result of creating more movement around the scapular and you will also get your core switched on, bonus! Trim waistline here we come!

If your not convinced by the above I have one final thing to add… the time will pass anyway… those 30 days will be over in no time, so why not add in an extra minute of exercise every day and see how much better you feel!

I will post lots of variations on press ups over the month for you to try!

Let me know how you get on!

Good luck!x

Alkaline Nutrition Talk Worcester

Good evening all!

I have some very exciting news…

Now the evenings are getting darker, I know it can be hard to stick to the salads and healthier we perhaps enjoyed over the summer so I have organised a fantastic nutrition talk to take place at my studio on Tuesday 25th October at 7 pm.

The talk will be given by the wonderful Claire McDonald who will introduce us all to alkalising our bodies, providing nutritional tips to reducing harmful acidic element to our diet. For more detailed reasons as to why staying alkaline, please click the link below:

http://www.energiseforlife.com/wordpress/2006/07/25/12-reasons-to-avoid-acids-and-stay-alkaline/

Many of you may have seen the attention that the PH diet is getting at the moment featuring in many glossy magazines such as the Sunday Times Style supplement and with many celebs, athletes, health experts, sports coaches and personal trainers like Tracy Anderson (who trains pretty much everyone in LA, Madonna, Gwyneth, Shakira…), James Duigan (the trainer to Elle McPherson and Rosie Huntington Whitely) all endorsing an alkaline diet.

Both myself and a number of others I know who have been to see Claire are all enjoying the amazing results of living an alkaline lifestyle, so the question is why would you miss this brilliant opportunity to improve your quality of life?

This is not to be seen as a faddy diet, once you get to grips with the basics, you really can still enjoy your favourite foods and dare I say a glass or two of wine (what a relief! Or in my case a bit of chocolate!). This is looking at getting the most out of your body.

The talk itself will cover an introduction on why this is so important to our health, vitality and energy levels, ideas on how to start putting this into your lives, all the health benefits followed by a Q&A session.

Most of you know that I try to stick to an alkaline diet and may have seen me drink green liquids in your sessions. I have found that since introducing more alkalising foods into my diet I have lost body fat, have more energy, my fitness levels have gone up and I feel fantastic!

The talk is free to all, so if you know anyone who may benefit please bring them along!

As ever, all those attend will be entered into a free draw to win a personal training session at the studio with me. The winner will be announced at the end of the evening.

Please let me know if you wish to come and how many you will bring so I can organise seating etc.

Have a healthy week!
