25.01.2022 Ahhh ...the post workout stretch, by the pool, in the gentle sunshine....no better start to the day! Energised, feeling good, knowing you’ve done something good for yourself and the day has only begun! Can’t wait to be sharing this experience again in just a few weeks with another amazing group of women. If you would like to join me I have just 1 very special place left and it has your name on it. Simply message below to find out more about this experience and if you lik...e, reserve the last place just for you The Travelling Teapot A Touch of Glass Massage
25.01.2022 Anyone else had some indulgence over the weekend and looking forward to getting back to some normal eating again from tomorrow? In the past I would have been beating myself up for weekends like this, which on top of the feelings of my clothes feeling tighter, being more self conscious of how I looked and the energy drain that sometimes kicks in from not eating my ideal way, I would also be upset with myself...which sometimes would have only led to further comforting eating......who can relate...?? Instead my approach is 80/20 now days...80% of the time ideal eating and 20% of the time having something that is a little more indulgent. It’s always good for you food, but some good for you food shouldn’t be placed into the same category as a good salad! So I wanted to share this because I know comfort eating and even more importantly the food you eat to feel better about your comfort eating is really a big road block for many of you wanting to feel better, feel lighter, take better care of yourselves and feel great in your skin. Be kind to yourself, everything we do is for a reason and we are ALL human, we all have our ups and downs, we all also have the same opportunities to change our behaviour in a instant. So if tomorrow is you getting back on the ‘wagon’ again, then I’m with you and I’m sending you lots of positive and loving vibes.
25.01.2022 When was the last time you felt absolutely loved and adored? Like you were someone’s absolute one and only and the most attractive woman on this earth to that person? If you can’t remember or you aren’t sure, maybe you have never experienced that then the next question is when was the last time you looked at yourself with a loving smile and felt absolute love towards yourself? When was the last time your inner voice said you’re amazing We can only experience what we f...irst know in other words if you don’t like yourself, you will doubt or even reject others acts of affection towards you. We also teach others how to treat us so if aren’t treating yourself lovingly...then how does anyone else know to do the same? Learning to love yourself is absolutely a journey. I’m not pretending that it is something that you simply start doing...for most it requires time and space to reflect, unlock what has been holding you back and discover better ways of being and feeling. This journey is absolutely one worth doing and will transform the quality of all of your relationships xx The VitalityFit Retreat : www.retreats.upliftingpt.com

24.01.2022 How is your clean eating mission going? Have you had a slip up? IT’S OK...here’s a little message from me today xx
23.01.2022 Are you your own worst critic? Does that voice inside your head belittle you, doubt you, question your every decision, put you down or make unfair comparisons of you to someone else? Self acceptance is fundamental to knowing you are good enough and knowing you are good enough gives you the motivation to perform, to explore, to love and to connect. ... So how do you develop self acceptance? Firstly you must give yourself time and space to be with your own thoughts and feelings. Our ‘busy’ lifestyles make this hard to achieve at times but it is essential that we create this for ourselves. Secondly you must take a journey of personal discovery. This has been such a blessing in my own life. Once we can understand why we think and feel the way we do, why we act the way we do and who we are under the surface of the roles we play then the journey to self acceptance is well under way. Thirdly we must open ourselves up to the vulnerability of experiencing social support. When you can share your true personal thoughts and feelings with someone and have them truly hear you without judgement but rather with support and love then we can experience what it is to be human. Ask yourself, do you give yourself what you need to create a better sense of self acceptance or do you find yourself always busy, staying within your comfort, avoiding opportunities to grow and learn about yourself and always putting on a brave face to stop people from seeing the ‘real’ you? An opportunity to do all of this and so much more in a fun and luxurious setting exists when you join me at The VitalityFit Retreat. To learn more go to www.retreats.upliftingpt.com
23.01.2022 How are you feeling about the relaxed guidelines announced Sunday for WA? Small changes, never-the-less progress right?! I’ve heard mixed thoughts and feelings...while we are all looking forward to our sense of freedom again, for some, the benefits of slowing down, having more quality family time and to some extent greater control over your routine has been enjoyable and what some would say a silver lining. For some people they have expressed their thoughts about not being ...ready yet to ‘come out of isolation’! I think if we can really get clear on what lessons we have learnt during this time so far, and make decisions about what we would like to keep moving forward then we can feel more ready, better prepared, more empowered to move on through our COVID-19 experience. If you would like a opportunity to do that then you will love my series of 4 live online sessions called Thriving Through COVID-19. They a free and I’m running them as a way of offering support and personal growth during this time. If you would like to be part of them, simply click the link below and fill in your email to receive the link to the online room. See you there! Sharon https://forms.aweber.com/form/26/1343544626.htm
22.01.2022 These two Started the retreat not knowing each other...finished as friends! Throughout their retreat they both got to know THEMSELVES better and how to be kinder to themselves as well as create a better sense of belonging and connection through new friendships. Relationships, correctionGOOD QUALITY relationships are an important part of our health and wellbeing. Good quality relationships lift us up, support us, bring us joy and ultimately love...all of which directly boosts our physical health by increasing feel good hormones such as dopamine and oxytocin. Good for the mind, body and soul xx Check out our HEALTH AND WELLBEING RETREAT FOR COUPLES coming up in July at www.retreats.upliftingpt.com #TestimonialTuesday
22.01.2022 A Mindset Monday video from me...a good reminder that how you feel about yourself is so important in all that you do. Enjoy!!
21.01.2022 The body does what the mind believes is possible and the body is the mind’s feedback to let it know it was right. The mind body connection works both ways This is me, in the middle of training this morning. Exercise is more than being fit and healthy, it is a play ground to stretch yourself and learn a little more about yourself. What you are capable of, how to listen to your body, how to get the best from yourself. ... Exercise can turn a average day into a good day. Physically the hormonal changes that take place during exercise guarantee a smile to arrive on your face, even if it is only once the workout is done. Exercise relieves stress, puts that excess cortisol to work for a short period of time and gives your body a reason to switch it off post workout. Exercise is one of my constants. It is something that I do to give me strength, give me calm, create happiness, create drive and motivation, it gives me a focus and it connects me with like minded people. I wouldn’t be without it. If you want exercise to be a part of your normal routine, something that you do without even thinking about it so you can gain the ‘feel good’ benefits that exercise can offer then check out The VitalityFit Retreat. So many people struggle to create consistency around this part of their ‘taking care of themselves’ routine and your mindset plays a HUGE role in this. Come and discover the mindset that will get you the result you want at The VitalityFit Retreat. Go to www.retreats.upliftingpt.com

20.01.2022 How much does taking care of you mean that you enjoy time with them SO MUCH MORE!!? I know this is so true for myself. You don’t have to be a Mum with young children to appreciate this. You may be highly engaged in your career, you may older children who need your support just as much (if not more) as young children do. Regardless of your situation, taking some time to look after you IS NOT SELFISH, IT IS NECESSARY! I hear so often from women, taking time out for themselves... either involves guilt or it is put in the ‘too hard basket’ but after a while your capacity to support others becomes limited by your own exhaustion and discontent. Do yourself and them a favour and factor in activities / time / events for yourself that make sure you are taken care of too!

20.01.2022 I’ve been exploring the concept of self acceptance a lot recently and something that has become super apparent is that many people use their lack of self acceptance as a motivator to create results or change in their life. There is a huge challenge in this because self acceptance is the quality that allows us to make mistakes and quickly move on and learn from them (and you’re going to make mistakes) It allows you to create your own path of best practice based on what YOU ...need and respond best to And ultimately (and most importantly) it reminds you every day that you are deserving and worthy of every part of your success Self acceptance come with time to reflect and tune in, through personal discovery and self awareness and surrounding yourself with people who support and encourage every single part of you. Take a moment to breathe and tune in at The VitalityFit Retreat www.retreats.upliftingpt.com
20.01.2022 For those of you feeling a heap of uncertainty at the moment, anxiety, worry, a feeling of instability, lost....I feel for you. Our experience at the moment is unprecedented but their is one thing that remains constant...your experience of yourself. You live with yourself everyday, and that has not changed. For this reason how you feel on a day to day basis matters. If you are feeling anxious and lost it is valuable to know how to improve this and take yourself to a happier ...place. The questions we ask ourselves determine the quality of the results we get. I share in my video my own experience of shifting my state in this time. I hope that you can draw some inspiration and benefit from this. If you would like to sign up to my free series of 4 live sessions (which I reference in my video) called Thriving Through COVID-19 then follow the link below and you will receive the log in details to be a part of these sessions. https://forms.aweber.com/form/26/1343544626.htm
19.01.2022 I was craving something warm and cosy to drink today...but I’d already had my daily coffee and I wasn’t on the mood for tea...I was looking for something more ‘satisfying’ . My dilemma however was that I wanted something like a hot chocolate (I would have settled for a latte of any sort) but I didn’t want the sugar usually associated with some of these drinks...so I experimented. I put a heaped teaspoon of Organic Cacao powder in a cup with unsweetened Coconut Milk, then a... dash of peppermint essence and a dash of vanilla essence and it was goooodddd. The peppermint and vanilla took the bitterness of the cacao and lessened the need for sugar. I will also say that I don’t have a big sweet tooth so I didn’t miss the lack of sugar...but it could just be me! Anyway, thought I’d share for those of you looking for a something delicious and warm.
19.01.2022 It’s time now to get back to you These beautiful words were shared with me yesterday and brought tears to my eyes. Today I am ready and I want to share it with you because I know many of you need to hear the same message. Life isn’t always easy...and sometimes we need a moment, a friend, some guidance, ... an insight, a learning, an environment to share our truth, where we can be open and honest, authentically ourselves so that we can start to rebuild and find ourselves again and get back to being you living life on your terms a high quality life of love, of happiness, with connection and contribution with honesty and compassion with respect for ourselves and others We need to create these moments for ourselves, even when you don’t feel you have the energy or the capacity to do so. It’s important, it’s necessary, it’s worth it for you and for others. This moment and this opportunity exists at The VitalityFit Retreat. Join me at www.retreats.upliftingpt.com Create moments like this one below for yourself at The VitalityFit Retreat....Stand strong beautiful, open and honestly, authentically you. Accepting of all of you, because with the dark there can also be light. Let your light shine bright, your truth, as a beacon of joy and love, directing you on your way wherever you go. Stand strong beautful, with your heart open, your feet connected to the earth beneath you, ready for the adventure and opportunities that await you xx #flashbackfriday

18.01.2022 Hands up if you need coffee to get you going in the morning? Is it the first thing you think to do in the morning or at least the first thing you look forward to? And do you struggle to gain the energy you want for your morning or your day?? ... This absolutely used to be my experience...I had to have a coffee to wake up and resemble any level of functioning first thing in the morning. It used to be something I would take into consideration when travelling...where will I get my coffee from and conversations pre-coffee lets just say weren’t too ‘deep and meaningful’ Now however I don’t have coffee until about midday and as a result I have MORE energy not only in the morning but for the rest of my day too It all has to do with our body’s natural cortisol rhythm and how disruptive can be on that rhythm if consumed when we ar meant to have a natural cortisol peak at roughly 8am. Because coffee is a stimulant it interrupts our bodies natural release of cortisol (because the body believe it has enough stimulant flowing through it from the caffeine) and as a result releases even less cortisol resulting in less naturally occurring energy and greater reliance on coffee. If you’re keen to give this a shot, break the dependence on coffee and gain more energy naturally I recommend stopping coffee completely for 2 weeks (the first three days may not be pleasant but after that you start to feel a world better) and then you can reintroduce coffee, delaying your first coffee until at least 10am, ideally midday, so as not interfere with your evening sleep but to also give your body a chance to self regulate your energy with its cortisol release. You’re welcome! #wellnesswednesday

16.01.2022 Hands up who’s seen a few of these the last few days or week? ...and who’s ready for some clean eating starting tomorrow Outside of it just being Easter...who has found that the past few weeks of social distancing and being at home more often has led to some less healthy eating...more comfort eating and drinking, eating out of boredom, eating to satisfy a need for variety and experience ‘something different’...eating and drinking to ease stress...or possibly... all of the above?! And who is starting to notice the effects of these eating habits? Less energy, feeling heavy, a bit of guilt, poorer self esteem, low motivation, clothes a little tighter... So is it time to create some control back and clean up your eating? Find a better structure and routine for your food? Find better (aka healthier) ways to gain some variety in your eating? If so, keep an eye on this page because I will be launching a free Sessions with Sharon series, one of which will be targeting your mindset for better eating during this time. Hit ‘Like’ on this post if this is something you would like to see! I hope this brings some inspiration, happiness and health to you all during this time. Sending much love to you all xx
16.01.2022 Take me back....#allthefeels This was taken a few years back at one of our retreats...a moment of spontaneity and for some a moment of pushing past fears and saying yes to a moment of pure joy and fun.

15.01.2022 This is a message for all the guys who have ever felt the pressure of work, family or life in general... who have ever felt lonely despite being surrounded by people... this is a common pattern most guys have experienced in their life, and the solution just requires a few moments of thinking outside of yourself.

15.01.2022 #timeouttuesday For anyone who is currently or ever has been on a journey to ‘clean up’ your eating then you’ll know the start of that process is sometimes the hardest. While the day before you start you feel full of optimism and a longing to feel healthy but when it comes down to action sometimes the reality of it can feel different! That desire for the foods you know you have been eating a little too much of kicks in again and you realise that it’s the instant gratificati...Continue reading
14.01.2022 Hi everyone! I wanted to give you all a opportunity to meet my wonderful husband Mark who is going to be hosting the Couples Retreat together with myself and my amazing team from The Travelling Teapot and A Touch of Glass Massage and to share a bit about the benefits of sharing the Couples Retreat together with your partner.

Or anything else! Comment below with your experience and I will be posting videos covering the topics you’ve shared, answering questions and providing hopefully nuggets of inspiration and motivation to help you get through this time...together xx And go.....

12.01.2022 How important are your relationships to your health and wellbeing?.... SUPER IMPORTANT! In fact for many people good quality relationships are the reason that they want to be fit and healthy! Good quality relationships help us to feel more positive, they help us to feel safe, secure and supported. Studies have shown that people who have good quality relationships tend to live longer, have a lower risk of health problems and are happier. Good quality relationships he...lp us to manage stress. When we have someone who is supportive, a good listener and we can feel safe in the presence of, we open ourselves up to being vulnerable, to expressing our true feelings and thoughts, without fear of judgement. By doing so, this expression of feelings and thoughts gives us an outlet to release fears and negative emotions, and if appropriate, can also offer an opportunity for our friend or partner to offer a different perspective on the experience which may help us to shift our focus away from the experience of stress to one that is more positive, optimistic and proactive. When it comes to healthy habits, the social support offered by good quality relationships can help us develop and stick to healthy habits. We ALWAYS see that when a couple or a group of people are involved in a behaviour to achieve a common goal there is ALWAYS greater adherence to the behaviour over a longer period of time. And if the group deteriorates, then so too does the behaviour, identifying just how powerful the social support is. So, how much do your relationships in your life promote good health for you? Do they hinder your health or help your health? Do you need to work on some of your relationships to promote better health? Less stress, greater happiness, healthier behaviours...

12.01.2022 Happy Monday everyone! If you struggle with managing your own expectations of yourself....you get down on yourself when you ‘fail’ to stick to your own rules, you put extra pressure in yourself to ‘make up’ for what you haven’t done, you wind up feeling tense, anxious, frustrated, exhausted...then this video shares a bit about the importance of having a little flexibility from time to time.
12.01.2022 The greatest gift you can give yourself and others...be present. Present to yourself, how you are feeling and thinking, the ‘whispers’ your body is sharing with you and the self talk that can go unnoticed in the background. Present to the person you love, when you wake in the morning, when you get home at the end of the day and before you close your eyes at night, look each other in the eyes and really tune in to what they are feeling. To your children, during times of play, at the dinner table and before they go to sleep at night, talk to them and listen to what they share, it is all meaningful. Presence is the best way for you to know you are living your authentic life, being the best version of you and responding to what matters most. From presence health and happiness is possible. #feelgoodfriday
12.01.2022 Who in the last few weeks have found themselves thinking (maybe quietly to yourself) what happened to the good old days of covid shutdown?! Who made promises to yourself that you would prioritise yourself better, make more time for exercise, good eating, self care...and now you’re ‘back to normal’ and feel just as tired, just as exhausted as before?

11.01.2022 Some thoughts from me this morning! Happy Monday! Check out The VitalityFit Retreat! www.retreats.upliftingpt.com
11.01.2022 #mondaymotivation Good morning! Happy Monday...here’s a reminder that if your having a difficult time at the moment, facing a challenge, have something weighing you down or under pressure at the moment then moving your body, doing some exercise (even though you may tell yourself you don’t have time or it’s the last thing you ‘feel’ like doing) is a really good thing for you to do right now!
11.01.2022 When you look in the mirror...who do you see? Do you see what your best friend see’s? Or do you see someone you no longer recognise? A shadow of your former self? ... Maybe you’ve stopped looking in the mirror all together? Looking in that mirror can sometimes be scary but when you lean into that fear and you see your own reflection, I mean really see it, to find your truth, your authentic self and you come to a place of acceptance, it is the GREATEST gift you can give yourself. Denying this of yourself only hides the pain, it doesn’t make it go away. The only way to do this is to be brave, be vulnerable and OPEN YOUR EYES. Because you are beautiful, you are enough, you are loved and you are capable of whatever your heart desires, you just need to see it. Lean in, discover your truth, join me at The VitalityFit Retreat. Experience joy, connection, fun and awareness all while being taken care of in a luxurious health and wellbeing environment! Go to www.retreats.upliftingpt.com.

10.01.2022 #flaskbackfriday to our Personal Discovery sessions at The VitalityFit Retreat. For those who may be feeling lost or disconnected with who you are or facing an experience in life that is causing you stress or heartbreak then creating space and time to rediscover yourself is not necessarily the first thing you might think to do to resolve these issues. But it is the necessary thing. Instead you might look to solutions like food, shopping, wishing others could change, dista...ncing yourself, throwing yourself into your career and distracting yourself on social media, only to have these experiences and feelings return sooner than you would like. Resolution and contentment happens from within. You can not change or control anyone else but you can take a new perspective of your own, learn something new about yourself to rediscover who you are and gain a experience of peace, happiness and wellbeing. This journey can seem a little daunting, it does for most before they come on retreat. For some it stops them. But for those who own their own bravery (like everyone of these amazing women below!!), who lean into the fear and turn it into a journey of discovery, who turn threat into a experience of curiosity, the rewards are greater than they could ever expect. Many of these women came not even sure of what they wanted to gain but knew they just needed to do something for themselves, that something had to change. Come and experience your personal discovery in a friendly, supportive and nurturing environment. For more information about the retreat experience go to www.retreats.upliftingpt.com. Our next retreat takes place in March!

09.01.2022 Are struggling with motivation to exercise and eat well consistently right now? Our normal means of exercise have for many been removed. Some of our sources of fun and excitement have been put on hold and for some this is leading to poorer nutrition in the form of comfort eating.... What to do? Jump on my free Thriving Through COVID-19 series where I’ll talk you through how you can overcome these and other challenges you may be facing right now. Go ahead...here’s the link... https://forms.aweber.com/form/26/1343544626.htm
08.01.2022 Out on my run yesterday and I decided to share this message. Hopefully a positive and proactive message with some tips on how you can best minimise the impact of the COVID-19 for yourself. It’s important to take responsibility for your own health and wellbeing right now - and that doesn’t mean sitting at home on the couch all day because you’ve decided to self isolate. If you are self isolating by choice (not because you have been asked to quarantine yourself through dire...ct exposure) then it’s good to understand that studies have shown that a mass community quarantine for 2 weeks when incidents of infection are low and health system has the capacity to treat the sick, actually only delays a spike in incidents because no one is developing immunity. Social distancing is ideal to #flattenthecurve with a choice of social settings you place yourself in, avoiding large group gatherings especially indoors is recommended. In addition to this taking care of your health and wellbeing is more important than ever to reduce the severity of the virus on your body should you catch it by boosting your immune system. Move your body daily: if you’re not going out as much and you find yourself with some extra time on your hands then what better to do with that time than a bit of a circuit, a nice walk outdoors or even a run!! Eat fresh, cook your meals, decrease sugar and trans fats. Nutrition is key to good health and again if you have some extra time on yours hands, now is the perfect time to get cooking. Boost your immunity and your nutrition with some good quality supplements. If you want even more of the good stuff take a multivitamin daily with a extra dose of good quality vitamin C, zinc, vitamin d, all complementary to a strong immune system Take measures to create a positive mental and emotional state. Yep, it’s an uncertain time but fear, stress, anger, sadness, loneliness, frustration, despair only weakens your immune system. So do whatever you can do to shift yourself into a positive state...put on some good music, have a chat with a friend over the phone, exercise, do something you love and that puts a smile on your face. Check out the video for more on this. Stay well and positive everyone, and remember to be kind to one another xx
08.01.2022 They say that what doesn't break us makes us stronger...or perhaps you prefer to think of it as behind every struggle there is a silver lining...whatever way you like to think of it then I think there is no better time to apply these attitudes than RIGHT NOW! What we are all experiencing as a collective global community is without a doubt uncomfortable but what if you were to use this time, right now, as a opportunity to grow, to realign with what is important to you, to gai...n resilience and learn the skill of adaptability?

07.01.2022 Loneliness doesn’t necessarily occur when you are isolated from people...you can feel even when you have people around you if you aren’t truly CONNECTED to those people around you.

07.01.2022 My little girls #justchillin yesterday in the sunshine....#isolife?! How has your isolife experience been so far? Some people have had more time, more time to spend with family, more flexibility in their day. Others have had more chaos, more stress, more doubt and uncertainty over their future.... Whether your experience so far has been more like that of my girls...just chillin ! Or at the other end of the spectrum ...or maybe somewhere in between..then there are two things to notice.... 1. What have you learnt or are you learning about what you do and do not want more of moving forward in your life? 2. What can you do to make your experience right now better? We aren’t through this yet, there is more isotime to come and only you have control over your own experience of this. If you would like some guidance, inspiration and motivation surrounding any and all of the above then jump on my free series of 4 live online sessions called Thriving Through COVID-19.

06.01.2022 'HAVE TO' OR 'WANT TO'? What types of activities do you find filling your day with....activities that NEED to be done, or activities that you WANT to do?

This week, make sure you give yourself some time to do what you want to do, for the pure fun of doing them. They may serve no purpose other than to put a smile on your face and that is ok. Not only will this make you feel good in the moment but it will be good for your body, for your mind and absolutely for your soul xx

04.01.2022 The individuals that I get to spend time with, work with and part-take in their journey with INSPIRE ME every single day. These individuals show vulnerability, determination, respect and above all LOVE for themselves and others. Some of my inspiration this week has come directly from these two pictures that were sent to me from past and current clients. . One image with a gold ribbon attached to the top right corner of a positive phrase board as a memento and reminder of a... retreat experience. The other with her new personal mantra, created through a coaching session. Behind each of these images is a message of change is always possible and a different result is always available to us. I am so grateful for what I get to do. If you or someone you know is struggling mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually right now, take a look at the free series of 4 live online sessions I’m hosting over the next 4 weeks called Thriving Through COVID-19.

03.01.2022 Some words of wisdom from my 4yo! I know for some, this cooler weather makes it less enticing to eat a salad. If you fall into this camp, ask yourself is it your STATE, your STORY, or your STRATEGY that creates this outcome for you? Do you just FEEL like eating warmer foods (your STATE) Do you tell yourself salads are for summer (your STORY) Or is it that you don't know how to prepare a salad or dishes rich in veggies that suit the cooler temperatures (your STRATEGY)? ... The good news is no matter which of these apply to you...you can change it. If you're looking for some food inspiration and a way to change you STATE, STORY and STRATEGY for better health and wellbeing outcomes...or you just fancy having a chef prepare ALL your meals for you for 4 days then come join us at one of our retreats! The food is delicious, it is good for you and it will make you feel great..just what you need to recharge your batteries! Check out our retreat website at www.retreats.upliftingpt.com. See more
02.01.2022 Who’s training at home now?? This was my equipment layout for my workout this morning training alongside a online, coach led, live workout with F45 Training Victoria Park which is fantastic...stay tuned for how you can get access to this if you’re not already a member of this studio!! In the meantime, here is a simply body weight circuit that you can do for yourself if you haven’t already engaged in a ‘at home’ workout format. I plan to post more exercise plans, so keep an... eye out! Hello beautiful women! On my trip back home today and thinking of you all. Here is the beach workout that we did together on Sunday if you are looking for a workout structure to get you started with some home based workouts. I’ve given a option for completely equipment less, or if you own some weights you can keep the Snatch exercise in Circuit 5. Tip: you can use a can of food, a large water bottle (filled with water!) or even something like a hammer from the garage to replace the dumbbell if you need. Mark and I have been brainstorming lots of ways that we can support community over the last 24hrs so watch this space for some further guidance on health and wellbeing measures to help you during these times Here’s the workout: Body Weight Workout - with weighted options if you like. Perform each Circuit for 4 mins before moving onto the next circuit. 1 lap for a 30 min workout, 2 laps for longer. Circuit 1 - 4 mins Shuttle run: 5 to 10m / power walk - 5 pushups at each end Circuit 2 - 4 mins Inchworm out and back, squat hold with air punches, side step right. Inchworm out and back, squat hold with air punches, side step left. Circuit 3 - 4 mins Low side stepping squat left x 5, mountain climbers x 10. Repeat travelling in the opposite direction. Circuit 4 - 4 mins Bear crawl x 10 or walking lunges, prisoner squats x 5 Circuit 5 - 4 mins Single arm Dumbbell Snatch alternating arms x 10 (alternative if no weights: 10 low pulsing squats with body weight) standing torso twist with or without dumbell Circuit 6 - 4 mins Body weight squat with knee lift x 10, sit-ups x 10 Enjoy!

01.01.2022 TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF MEANS MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY TOO Yesterday I did something different. I got out of the house and my girls and I went on an ‘adventure’...we had a picnic, we watched trains, we did a spot of shopping and we went splashing in the ‘puddles’ at the beach. This may not seem all that adventurous for some, but it was something very different for us of late. We have spent a lot of time at home, and at home for me = what else needs to be done? ... Sometimes we don’t realise what we’re feeling until we have an experience of the alternative! I didn’t realise how ‘switched on’ I had become. What does that mean? It means how much time I was not spending in a state of relaxation, being present, giving my mind and body time to recover and rejuvenate, having fun, being playful... Instead at home, I had fallen into a pattern of always thinking of what’s the next thing to do, minding over the girls, taking care of their every need, training and if possible working...all of which meant that I was always ‘switched on’. Our mind and body needs access to activities which we may not traditionally value as ‘important’ but they are vital for our true ability to recover. I’m talking about creative / feminine energy activities...reading a novel in the sunshine, taking a stroll in the fresh air, splashing in puddles, painting, drawing, playing music, dancing around your house, designing something for your home...all of these are creative / feminine energy activities and they help you to ‘switch off’. To get out of your head and become present to what is right there with you right now. They boost your energy levels, overcome fatigue and exhaustion, they make your heart smile and your soul sing. Until yesterday, I didn’t realise that I had been missing this...it was having the experience of how else it can be that made me realise where the gap had been. I went to bed last night feeling fulfilled, happy and recharged for some more ‘focused’ work today. If you’re in the same boat, if you’re spending at lot of time at work and or in the workplace, spending a lot of time looking after children and little time engaged in nurturing, fun, creative, playful activities then you may be feeling tired, run down, flat, heavy, sad, lost and lacking motivation. Bring some more colour into your life and notice what changes it makes to your mood, your energy levels, your outlook on life and your wellbeing.
