23.01.2022 On the tenth day of Christmas, Flex Physio gave to me, Ten strict pushups Nine cups of tea Eight classes of yoga ... Seven shiny apples Six Pilates classes Five mini bands Four strength classes Three laps of the grunter Two fitballs And a spikey ball in a Christmas tree Push-ups: need we say more? They are an effective full body workout when the core is engaged. By working on a large number of muscles in your body, push-ups help tremendously for a fitter you. Push-ups help you focus on your arms, chest and abs at the same time. They train your muscles to work together and become stronger. Go Bec go! ------------------------------------------------ #pushup #strength #christmastree #christmas #tasmania #fitness #fitfam

18.01.2022 On the seventh day of Christmas, Flex Physio gave to me, Seven shiny apples Six Pilates classes Five mini bands ... Four strength classes Three laps of the grunter Two fitballs And a spikey ball in a Christmas tree ---------------------------------------- The party season can make it a little tricky to eat healthy but we have some strategies for coping with the overindulgence and late nights that are an inevitable but enjoyable part of the festive season. - Stay hydrated: on the day of a big night out increase your intake of water and herbal teas. Alcohols diuretic effect means you need much more water than normal. Sipping water between champagnes can make a big difference to how you'll feel the next day. -Before heading out try snacking on something with a little protein like fruit and yoghurt. This can help overdoing it with the canapés. - Allow yourself to enjoy all the food on Christmas Day... then return to a normal healthy eating plan from Boxing Day. See if you can limit the unhealthy leftovers (especially the Christmas Pudding!) in your fridge after Christmas. Remember it's a day to enjoy and celebrate with delicious food and drink Photo: Jo Dilorenzo ------------------------------------------- #christmas #apples #healthy #tasmania #fitness #vegan #health

13.01.2022 On the eighth day of Christmas, Flex Physio gave to me, Eight classes of yoga Seven shiny apples Six Pilates classes ...

12.01.2022 On the third day of Christmas Flex Physio gave to me, Three laps of the grunter Two fitballs And a spikey ball in a Christmas tree ... The festive season is upon us and it's easy to abandon our fitness regimes and give up on exercise until the New Year. "It's Christmas!" One of the biggest barriers to exercise is a lack of time, but the Christmas holidays provide an opportunity to begin or maintain physical activity! How to stay fit this Christmas: -Schedule just 20 minutes of high intensity interval training. Scheduling your exercise first thing in the morning means you can enjoy your day feeling energised... you could even plan it while everyone is still sleeping -If visitors stop you getting to the gym or heading out try and get everyone involved: a day hike or beach cricket can please everyone. -If you're holidaying away from home get creative with your workouts: use your luggage as a weight or minibands. Find some stairs and spend 15 minutes walking/running up and down them (just like the grunter). Aiming to exercise on most days will see you more likely to stick with your Christmas exercise plan. Enjoy the festive season and maintain your fitness! ---------------------------------------- #tasmania #christmas #exercise #workout #hiit #fitness #fitfam #health #healthy #smithton #running #stairs Cassie Thomas Jess Maguire Michelle Gale Rebecca Krushka

11.01.2022 Yoga is back with Cassie next week :)

10.01.2022 We would like to announce that Jess will be leaving Flex next month. Her final day of treating patients will be Friday May 12th. "It has been such a pleasure to return to the Circular Head community and provide Physiotherapy services for the previous six years. It's a place that I love and it has been so wonderful getting to know each of my patients and their families. I thank each of you for the opportunity to help you improve your health and wellness. Working as a rural P...hysio has been an extremely rewarding experience for me. I would also like to thank the community for their continued support. I'm grateful to have had a business that grew so much I feel sadness in leaving but also know that it's time for the next chapter. I hope to catch up with you when I visit Tassie for a retreat." To book an appointment before she leaves: 64521119.

10.01.2022 We had the cutest little visitor today! Although we miss your wonderful classes at Flex Laine, motherhood suits you #thatgrin

09.01.2022 Thank you for the interest in our next Pilates block starting on Tuesday 28th of February. It is now full. If you would like to be added to the current waitlist please call 64521119

08.01.2022 Happy New Year to all our wonderful patients and clients! We are open and ready to help you improve your health and wellness in 2017. A reminder that Pilates classes with Jess start next week. This 6 week block has two themes. Firstly: embodiment. How to stay present in your body under uncomfortable situations/sensations. This class will be continually flowing with slow movements and your body will burn. It will be challenging to help you train focus and concentration. It wi...ll also work your entire body. Meditation will be included as a practice to take the embodiment deeper. You will leave with clarity and calm (and sore muscles ) Our second theme is mobility. A person with great mobility is able to perform movement patterns with no restrictions in the range of motion of those movements. A flexible person may or may not have the core strength, balance, or coordination to perform the same movements as the person with great mobility. Mobility = supple. In 6 weeks you will look and feel different. 64521119 ---------------------------------------- #pilates #physiotherapy #physio #tasmania #health #fitness #2017

08.01.2022 We have three places remaining in our next 6 week block of Pilates and meditation. The theme is Mindful Movement and Embodied Meditation. Classes start for this block start on Tuesday February 28th at 5:15pm. Please call 64521119 to book, rebates apply.

05.01.2022 On the second day of Christmas Flex Physio gave to me... Two fit balls And a spikey ball in a Christmas tree Our high quality, antiburst fitballs have served us well for more than 5 years.They've endured hours of exercises in Pilates and strength training classes plus with Jess' patients (this photo is payback to her ) and they're still going strong.... The benefits of using a fitball include: - Improved posture: these are effective for teenagers who like to slump or if you are woman becoming stooped from osteoporosis - Improved balance and stability: this can help with injury prevention - Strengthen core muscles: fitballs can be effective if you've had back pain. - Rehabilitation: a fitball can be used in sitting, balancing or exercising to help activate new motor recruitment patterns following injury, with neurological conditions or post surgery.
