We all need some downtime to reboot each week

We all need some downtime to reboot each week. This includes a weekly Pilates class for me. . If we keep our bodies reasonably fit and eat healthily, then when we are super busy we are still able to cope when life becomes stressful. . This is an exercise from my Wednesday physio reformer pilates class. . This Pilates exercise strengthens arms, helps the movement and flexibility of a tight upper back, works the tum, core and glute muscles, the inner thighs and needs balance to be able to stand, twist and bend over. . It's more difficult than it looks, especially when it's done slowly with control, holding out the platform steadily before returning it back in. . . . . . .

Morning pilates exercise

Morning pilates exercise.. Mobility, spinal mobility, flexibility, core and abs strength exercise. And also back of arm muscles as they are also used to help action the movement together with the lower abdominal muscles. The movement should be smooth and controlled and not driven by body weight momentum. It's harder than it looks. Give it a go.... . . . . . .

Not very good at this ‘bear crawl’ fitness exercise

Not very good at this 'bear crawl' fitness exercise. At least I tried my best! What a meany trainer! @sportsperformance86 ha! ha! This was at the end of 20 mins HIIT boxing workout and then doing these bear crawls up and down the garden 4 x over. So maybe that could be why I look so rubbish at this? . . . . .

Village life in the Summer! 10 mini videos here on this post

Village life in the Summer! 10 mini videos here on this post. Swipe left after each one. The St Helens village horticultural show Isle of Wight. So no success with any of my veg entries this year. I entered beef tomatoes, mini purple tomatoes, and golden tomatoes, runner beans, purple French beans and rhubarb. My only 5 apples produced from my apple tree each had a single nibble from a passing bird out of them before I could pick them! However I did win 2 x second prizes for my pastel artwork of the dog and my watercolour beach view from the decking of a beach house. My two 2nd place wins earned me 80p. I will be going on a spending spree tomorrow. As they now say it's all in the taking part-not the winning. Those who have known me for years in my cool urban London lifestyle would never have imagined me growing fruit and vegs and entering them in the local village horticultural society's Summer show. Do stuff outside your normal fast paced hectic and often stressful life. It's fun. . . . . . . @dja5859 @misslucy_lou
