What's stopping you from exercising?

We all know how much good exercising is for us, be it a good walk, cycle ride, gym or class
session. Yet, so many of us don't do enough exercise. How much is enough? What exercise should I be doing? Am I too old? What difference does it make? What are the barriers that prevent us from exercising more? How can we overcome those barriers?

Well, I was inspired by two things this week: a Radio 4 programme, called Inside Health, that was on air as I drove back from teaching a Chair Yoga class in Westleton; and, the very next day, at the end of my Strengthen class, a mature participant exclaiming how she had re-discovered the joys of walking after joining the local ramblers group. 

Have a listen to the programme, link below, it's worth it. Then consider the barriers that are preventing you from exercising more and how you can overcome them.

It's never too late (and you're never too old) to join one of my classes. Go to the Exercise page on this blog to find out more about the classes I teach. If you'd like to have a 15 minute call with me, we can discuss how you may move forward. Contact me by email to book your call

Sailing travels

 We departed milford haven last Saturday,  arriving Scilly Isles Sunday. Great sail, dolphins came to say hello and play on the bow-wave. By night, the heavens filled with stars and phosphorescent lit our wake. 

Scillys are beautiful and we moored between Tresco and Bryher. That's my brother's vancouver 28 we're sailing on. Most of these pix are Tresco Abbey Gardens,  plants on steroids!

Why Fermented Foods are so important

Did you know, that the are many times more cells of bacteria, fungi and other mirco-organisms both on and inside each of us than there are of our own cells? You're more than merely human!

An exciting new area of research has opened up recently, as scientists try to find out how we interact with these organisms and what they do, both for us and, some, against us.

Many of these micro-organisms reside in our gut, where they help make important vitamins and hormones, including feel-good serotonin. In short, keeping our gut bacteria happy keeps us and our bodies happy, as these hormones affect mood, how well we sleep and many other lifestyle factors.

During my Workshops I'll tell you more about how the bacteria produced during fermentation can help your overall wellbeing, for the better. I'll be offering a wide range of fermented vegetables to try, as well as milk kefir, homemade nut and milk cheeses, beetroot kvass and Natto, fermented soya beans that give you a vitamin K2 hit, and help prevent blood clotting. I show you how to make these foods and you get to make your own ferment to take home. Further information on my Fermenting Workshops page. Anyone who's attended one of my Fermentation Workshops is welcome to attend at half price.

If you'd like to hear a little more of what I do, register for a Free webinar afternoon this Sunday (5th February) with Whole Health Macrobiotic Forum where I'll be demonstrating and talking at 5pm.
