25.01.2022 Its time to announce the winner of the Orange Fitness Challenge! Nicolien Zuijdgeest was the person who was most dedicated to doing the exercises and sent the most selfies! She will be winning a virtual one-on-one Personal Training Session. Im looking forward to it! Thank you to everyone (and their families) who participated. And thank you for all the positive feedback I received on the instructional videos. I had a lot of fun and although the circumstances arent ideal, it was great to see everyone staying active. Congratulations!

25.01.2022 A long read but very insightful and explains why the precautions we take today will save lives later on. No need for panic: just wash your hands, stay away from big gatherings and use common sense. Lets spread the love, not the virus.

24.01.2022 60 Years Together...

23.01.2022 ORANGE FIT CHALLENGE CIRCUIT FRIDAY #1 Did you have your exercise today? If not, I have a quick suggestion for you. And let me know how you go! These are the exercises:... 1Squats: 10x regular, 10x add toes (squeeze gluts) and arms, 10 add a jump or at least a little lift of the floor if your ankles, knees allow for it. 2Elbow to Knees: 20x alternating sides, 10x nice and slow (like balancing) 10x with a little lift of the heel (or maybe even the foot coming of the floor) 3Push ups: 15x Watch the video for the explanation and performance of the exercises. Send me your selfies/photos of todays workout before Saturday 11 April 2020 by WhatsApp, by email or in the comments below of course. CONSISTENCY IS KEY! https://youtu.be/W1xlCO8RQlk

22.01.2022 Circuit Friday #3 in the ORANGE FIT CHALLENGE Today will bring you three exercises which will get your heartbeat up. There are low impact options and if youre ready to pump it up: Thats possible too! Do the exercises by themselves or in combination with Tuesdays Pilates sequences. Whatever you do: keep it fun, energetic and get your favourite isolation mates to join in! These are the exercises:... Burpees: 10x perform it either low impact without the jump or as crazy as you want. Its all about the getting on the floor and back up: thats what gets the heart and therefor the body working! Side Step Up: 12 reps on each side; Try to really bend that back leg and if youre up for it: propel your self up: off the floor or even just a lift of the heel is Amazing! Legs will be working! Side Step Squat: 20 reps: nice and deep squat - make the squats deeper as you warm up. Great for knees and hips but back off when you feel pain in either knees or hip joint. https://youtu.be/OIOCUGTR-0k

22.01.2022 Crazy times! Spent too much time checking the Corona Spread in the world, in New York, in The Netherlands and in Australia specifically. Checked in with all the loved ones all over the world and exchanging experiences. Its good to know that however surreal life feels right now, trampoline and reformer are there for me to take the mind of it for a bit Stay healthy and sane everyone!

22.01.2022 Only getting started. 25 years

22.01.2022 Through this time of isolation Ive really enjoyed my distanced runs within #perrylake . This morning @irishnomad_ontherun were once again inspired by the run suggestion made by @westaustralianmarathonclub . Since the tracks are closed, the path around the lake has become our substitute. The path is wide enough to offer plenty room for families, walkers and runners, also enjoying their time out in the fresh air. So pleased to have this beautiful space near, a great running p...artner @irishnomad_ontherun and @westaustralianmarathonclub doing the thinking for the training runs to keep motivation up. #runningismytherapy #runningcommunity #westaustralianmarathonclub #fitover50 #perthfitwomen #perthoutdoors @ Perry Lakes Reserve

20.01.2022 Back at City Physio this week!

20.01.2022 With people staying at home, the body wont be moved as much. Fortunately a lot of gyms and personal trainers have stepped up and fill that void by releasing workout-at-home videos. Right now I dont feel the urge to add to that: I simply cant deliver the required quality. Im making an exception for my clients in the Gentle Fitness class, though. These clients benefit from suggestions for easy to perform exercises or movements which can be done safely at home at their own... level. And seeing a familiar face might just motivate a bit more. The countertop proofs to be a very accessible piece of fitness equipment; its sturdy and the right height to find support when needed. There is no finesse in my short clips. However I hope it will encourage my clients to lift the knees a bit higher or roll the shoulders a bit more. And maybe theyll share it with their friends. Make every movement count! #perthfitness #perth #perthlocal #perthhealth #perthfitlife #perthsmallbusiness #fitperthlife #perthcity #perthhealthybiz #fitnessmotivation #seniorinspire #movementismedicine

19.01.2022 Another half marathon with my running buddy and friend @irishnomad_ontherun This time the Fremantle Running Festival. #fremantlerunningfestival A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made this running event a GREAT one!

13.01.2022 Last race this decade is set in my original hometown. Its a family affair: with hubby, brother and son. And daughter and other son at the finish celebrating our achievements. It only seems fitting that my Dad gets to show of my medal while enjoying a traditional oliebol! A great way to finish a successful running year! #runhappy #fitover50 #fitover50women #denhelder #oudejaarsloopdenhelder #runningover50 @ Den Helder, Netherlands

10.01.2022 "A picture is worth a thousand words" Can you imagine a videos worth? Very often I find myself explaining what a Pilates Reformer is. Most people have heard of it but never actually tried it. And so: heres a short video showing what a simple whole body workout would look like on a reformer. Thank you Lars Zuijdgeest and Niels Zuijdgeest for filming and editing!

09.01.2022 Group Exercise has been cancelled, but Exercise and Movement are more important than ever! Take part in the ORANGE FIT CHALLENGE For the next FOUR weeks every Pilates Tuesday (starting today 31 March 2020) and Circuit Friday (starting 3 April 2020) youll receive an email. The Pilates Tuesday Email will contain a short video with the description of three Pilates inspired exercises. ... The Circuit Friday Email will contain a short video with the description and explanation of three Body Weight and/or Movement exercises. THE ORANGE FIT CHALLENGE: Do each workout of three exercises at least THREE times a week. Send me a selfie or photo of you doing the workout. Youll earn a point for every Pilates or Circuit workout. More workouts, more points. Extra points if you get your family involved. Or if you do the workout virtually with a workout buddy! Only one selfie (or photo) of the same workout can be sent per day. However, you can send on one day a photo of your Pilates sequence and a photo of your Circuit Workout. On 2 May Ill announce who has the most points and/or most original selfie. That person should probably win some toiletpaper. 4 Rolls for the first place, 2 rolls for second place and 1 for third place? But only if I can lay my hand on some. Alternatively the winner will receive a 1:1, 45mins personal training workout. Either virtual or outdoor in Perth. Im sure there might be more rules, terms and conditions etc. but I havent thought of them yet. HAVE FUN! See more

08.01.2022 Shoulders down, away from the ears Keeping the upper back strong, I found,has helped me to keep neck pain from recurring. To have a pilates reformer in the garage is such a luxury! The garage isnt fancy at all though. But its functional. And I to have the space to do a proper workout.... #pilatesreformer #perthpilates #perthfitness #cityofstirling #trigg #perthlocal #perthhealth #perthfitlife #perthrunning #perthsmallbusiness #fitperthlife #perthhealthybiz #reformerpilatesperth #pilatesinstructor #nutritioncoaching #triggisland #fitnessmotivation #healthyliving #personaltrainer #livingthebestlifeican
