With Dr Michael Mosley

With Dr Michael Mosley. Creator and author of the 5:2 diet and brand The Fast 800. How to combine rapid weight loss and intermittent fasting for long term health. . Here I am at his talk, Q&A and launch of his new book and diet regime for good gut health and reduction of both external fat/weight and internal visceral fat surrounding the organs. This can reverse Type 2 Diabetes and many other lifestyle illnesses. . This style of eating with intermittent fasting is similar to how I live and eat, and teach my clients to eat. . I personally choose to have a 12 hour fast overnight into the following day with 2 days a week of 16/18 hours overnight fasting. I dont restrict my own calories unless it's after Christmas or after lots of partying or entertaining. I do like my food and I like to enjoy life. . It's a very easy regime to follow and continue as a lifestyle choice -NOT a faddy diet. . It works! Apparently Hugh Jackman and Aiden Turner both follow this healthy eating plan too . . . . . @drmichaelmosley @positive_communications_pr

Pilates exercise for core stability and switching off over-active hip flexors

Pilates exercise for core stability and switching off over-active hip flexors. . I can do this anywhere as it simply needs a theraband and 2 slightly deflated balls-one for under my bottom and the other for between my calves. . . . . .

Good morning Friday!

Good morning Friday! . It's important to always stretch before any exercise. . . But check with your personal trainer that you're stretching correctly as this pose is slightly exaggerated for the purposes of this pic. The more you can bring your hip forward and align the knees the better the stretch. . . . . .

This video clip was taken of me when the weather was hot and sunny not torrential rain like today which means riding today was cancelled

This video clip was taken of me when the weather was hot and sunny not torrential rain like today which means riding today was cancelled. It's so special horseriding along a beach. It makes you feel happy, blessed and so grateful to be healthy and well and lucky to be able to do such a thing. . . . . . .

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. . . . . . .

#tbfriday This time last year! Looking forward to skating again @natural_history_museum skating rink London

This time last year! Looking forward to skating again @natural_history_museum skating rink London. . It's such fun and a good cardio, core and glute workout. You need to use your core together with your glutes for balance, strength and to keep upright. . I do look quite serious but I'm properly concentrating on not only trying not to fall over myself but also on not knocking over any small children or even adults skating around holding onto their penguins for support. . Have a good Friday! What are you doing that's out of your comfort zone this weekend? . . . . .

Today’s School speaker talk on Social Media and Body Image for year 6 girls (10 and 11 year olds) this morning

Today's School speaker talk on Social Media and Body Image for year 6 girls (10 and 11 year olds) this morning. Discussing what's real and what's not. Filters and self image, self confidence and body confidence. How to make social media work for you in the future and not become addicted and have anxiety. Thank you to @ursuline_prep school. Loved interacting with your girls. They were beautifully behaved, interested and interesting, and asked me loads of questions after my presentation talk and told me some of their personal stories which all had positive endings. . . . . .
