Reformer Pilates

For those who have only ever practised mat-based Pilates classes, I am going to regularly demo together with @lukemeessmann @absolutestudios how Reformer pilates exercises can be tailored to every ability- beginner or expert.
.
Today’s exercises in video clips 2 and 3 are the basic first and then the more advanced variation. . .

Small steps. . When life is tough don't give up.

Small steps.
.
When life is tough don't give up.
It's easy in January to make all those unrealistic  resolutions and set yourself up to fail.
.
So start your journey with small steps.
A step by step change of thinking.
.
It could be that you want to:
Change your life.
Become fitter, healthier.
It could be anything........
.
Start each day when you wake up to be grateful for 3 things in your life. That way the day will begin  on a positive note.
.
Remove any negativity and replace with positivity and the possibilities of what you can achieve with each of those small steps.
.
Be the master of your own destiny.

Optimum results can be seen apparently after 3 months of regular use.
.
I’m now on the 2nd day of this supplement. Taking a dose at breakfast time after a min of 12 hours overnight intermittent fasting break. The taste is fruity- not unpleasant- but you can mix it with a fruit juice too.
.
It contains
Collagen peptides ( help firm and maintain skin elasticity)
Hyaluronic acid ( helps hydration and deep lines and wrinkles)
Silicon ( helps improve skin texture)
Astaxanthin (an antioxidant thst helps collagen regenerate)
Polyphenols ( anti- inflammatory antioxidants)
Also

Sometimes we all need to focus on ourselves with a little self-care when life has been super-stressful.

Sometimes we all need to focus on ourselves with a little self-care when life has been super-stressful. Especially at this time of the year.
.
My go-to treat is the rejuvenating non- invasive BDR facial.
Administered this time by Veni- the owner of 
@le_boutique_spa in London NW1.  She was excellent and very professional in her attention to detail. Many of her clients are French which says a lot about how good she is.  I' ve always found that French women are especially particular about their beauty regimes.
.
My no-makeup, bad hair selfie- with newly glowing skin was taken straight after the facial.
I'm with Veni who is her own best advertisement as an aesthetic clinician. .
Before the Summer I had my first four BDR facials at the also excellent @eleniqueskinclinic in Fulham.  I like trying out various beauty salons and clinics which have been recommended to me. These initial treatments made a significant difference to my skin quality, deep wrinkles and sun-damage pigmentation.
.
The facial includes 
peel+ dermabrasion 
Microneedles + serum
Massage + LED
