If you have never done Pilates before then this is the class for you.  It will start at base level where the set up is explained in detail and easy to understand exercises are followed.  It will be a slow pace to enable each participant to fully understand the technique.

I also run mixed ability classes on Mondays at 6.30pm and 7.40pm and Wednesdays at 7.10pm and 8.20pm.

Hurry to book as places go fast.

Winter blues are estimated to affect 10 per cent of people with around a million people in the UK affected by the more serious Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).  If you’re one of them your exercise regime could seriously deteriorate.  Many winter depression exercisers will exercise a lot during the lighter summer months but when the darker months arrive, they stop and feel flat and less energetic. Gaining weight is also common since levels of serotonin, a chemical that regulates mood, drops in the winter and can cause overindulgence in serotonin-boosting carbohydrates.

The culprit?  Lack of Daylight.  The shorter days and longer nights of winter throw off some people’s circadian rhythms (your internal sleep and wake cycle).  Your circadian rhythm is sensitive to what time the sun goes up and down and it tries to be in sync with that.

Unless you are a hedgehog, hibernating isn’t the option, but luckily there are other ways to beat the winter blues, and though you may not feel like it, exercise is one of the best. 

Evidence shows exercise helps people who have symptoms of depression, anxiety or stress so why not book in for a free consultation to see how Personal Training can help you.

Now’s the time to throw out the party food, get rid of the chocolates, stop drinking alcohol and fizzy drinks and start thinking about getting yourself in shape and loosing that Christmas weight and more!

Have you thought about enrolling a Personal Trainer to help you? 

A lot of people have good intentions in the New Year to “get fit and loose weight” so they join a gym.  They go probably three times a week for the first two weeks, then it reduces down to twice, then once till eventually after about month and half they give up as boredom sets in and they do not see results.  The reason they don’t see results is that they are either not working hard enough or doing the wrong exercise.  Also most people don’t consider their diet, this also needs to change to loose the weight.  So if you are one of these people who sit on the bike watching the tv or reading a book then you won’t achieve results and will get bored.

This is where a Personal Trainer comes in.  They will ensure you are working to your correct heart rate zones to burn fat.  They will advise on nutrition and keep track of your daily eating habits. They introduce new equipment to your session like boxing or kettle bells, which is fun and exhilarating.  They ensure you have a balanced program and can become your personal advisor.

So if you want to loose weight, achieve that toned body you have always wanted, then enrol a Personal Trainer.

If you are serious, ditch the larger clothes otherwise they will always be there to offer an excuse to go back to your original size.  Having those clothes may be a contributing factor to repeated weight gain.

Carbohydrates are used by the body for energy.  If you are trying too loose weight cut out the carbs after 6pm in the evening as most of us will sit down in front of the TV and relax thus not using any energy.  Carbohydrates contain glucose which releases insulin into the body.  So if you have a meal containing potatoes, rice, pasta or bread then the excess glucose that is not utilised, (and believe me if you are stagnant on the sofa it won’t be), will be stored as fat. 

So rule of thumb leave out the carbs after 6pm have them during the day instead.

Okay, don’t panic, there is a solution.  With correct nutrition and exercise you can get your body back to health and return your metabolic rate to good level.  Did you know that eating little and often of the correct foods can elevate your metabolic rate and keep it elevated.  This means you are burning more calories.  Exercise also elevates your metabolic rate and resistance training will tone muscles and that on its own will keep your metabolic rate elevated.  So when you have good muscle tone your body has to burn calories to keep the muscles in shape, so basically you are burning calories just being you!

So if you are ready to get back into shape then why not try a Personal Trainer to offer you the motivation you need to keep going.  Don’t fall into the trap of joining a gym because you want to loose weight, go for the first month, get bored and then never return again.  Did you know that a lot of gyms make a large percentage of their profits in the first three months of the year from “Newbees” who join then leave.  Don’t give them the satisfaction, spend your money wisely and enlist the help of a Personal Trainer.

Good luck, you can do it…….

We start at basic level; teaching you correct posture, set-up and alignment amongst other things.

Pilates primarily strengthens the core muscles that stabilize and support the spine and improve overall mobility, thus realigning the body and correcting postural problems. It brings mind and body together, focusing strongly on total concentration, balance, precision and breathing. As a result, your posture will change and you will move more efficiently.

No matter what your physical condition from the first time exerciser to the top athlete, from sufferers of back, hip or neck problems, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis or pregnant women, the good news is that many people who suffer with remedial problems often find themselves pain free as a result of taking up Pilates.

So, if you would like to join my class please register your interest on 07958 442382 or visit my website www.body-torque.com for further information.

You undergo enormous emotional, physical and hormonal changes so any exercise you decide to undertake must take all these changes into account. Pregnancy is not the time to decide you want to get fit or loose weight, your priority will be to maintain the fitness that you have to benefit yourself and your growing baby.

You need something that prepares you for the extra weight you are going to carry, the physical and emotional changes that you are going to experience and the rigours of labour. This is where Pilates can help.

• It ensures your body’s systems i.e. lymphatic, circulatory, digestive and respiratory are functioning efficiently
• It can help make your pregnancy more comfortable with less pain
• It teaches you to relax which is invaluable throughout your pregnancy and during the birth itself
• It prepares you for labour
• By far the most important aspect, it lays foundations to help you get your figure back after the birth

Pilates trains the body and mind to move correctly with slow controlled movements. The exercises are non impact so will not stress the joints and it is very safe for the pregnant mother. Pilates is perfect for pregnancy as it emphasises correct alignment and posture and this is the time when your posture changes quite dramatically. For instance, there is increased strain on your neck and back as your breasts grow in size and weight. Pilates will teach you how to release tension, strengthen your mid back muscles to prevent you from becoming round shouldered and improve your awareness of upper body movement. It can also help relieve the lower back and joint aches and pains associated pregnancy.

So you see it is important to continue exercising through pregnancy with the knowledge that with each trimester your exercise regime will need to change to take into account the postural alterations. But you also need to be aware that should you be having any complications with your pregnancy you should always seek medical advice before undertaking any exercise.
