24.01.2022 Swiss Ball Squat Press Great exercise to build strength in legs, core and shoulders. Stand with Swiss Ball behind lower back and rest against wall, or firm surface. Feet should be placed forward of hips with weight through heels (wiggle toes to check in right position). Engage core. ... Hold a weight in each hand and lift to shoulder height; breathe in and lower your body, pushing hips down and back towards wall. As you exhale - stand back up and push weights above your head as you go. Maintain weight of body though heels of feet and core activated. Slow controlled pace. . . . . . . . #swissballtraining #swissballsquats #coreworkout #nickellsonhh #smallstepsbigdifference

21.01.2022 My wellness tip this week is to chew your food slowly . CHEWING produces saliva which breaks down food for the digestive juices in the stomach to work effectively. Eating too quickly = large lumps of food passing down the oesophagus causing indigestion, burping, flatulence + fewer nutrients absorbed. ... Here are 8 practical tips: SLOW DOWN! Taste each mouthful Knife & fork down between bites Breathe Take sips of water Turn off TV/ put phone away Eat lunch in the sunshine Sit at table with family for dinner and talk about your day Enjoy and appreciate your food #smallstepsbigdifference
19.01.2022 From tree to crumble So enjoyed picking apples a few days ago in a local orchard with H, going home and making a crumble. We picked a few varieties but I saved one of my favourites - an ‘Egremont Russet’ - for in the car. Tasted SO good - sweet and crunchy! This is an experience I have been looking forward to for a long time... and it took me right back to my childhood... ok maybe I was climbing the tree aged 10 but you get the picture! #devonlife
