Back to a barrecore class today

Posted on

Back to a barrecore class today. . . It's another birthday next week, (in my 60's) which reminds me that as we get older it's important to keep fit, healthy and mobile. For mind and body. Even if the exercise is only a 20 minute brisk walk a day. Exercise should be a minimum of 3 times a week. . . . I like to mix up my fitness classes each week. Each style of class has a different purpose. So today is barrecore which has core and glute work, plies and sqats, together with ballet style barre exercises and light weights for arms. I do Pilates once a week for core and glute strength and spinal mobility. 30 min boxing and HIIT workout once a week for cardio and also to help weight maintenance or loss. Horse riding is my occasional special feel good treat especially when It's riding along the beach. And then there's the dog that needs a walk.... What's your weekly fitness or exercise regime? And what's your favourite class? . . . . .

Back on the Pilates reformer

Posted on

Back on the Pilates reformer. Exercise for hip rotation, inner thigh muscles- the adductors, and hip control. Especially good for strengthening around the hip. I did this exercise as part of a series of 3 sets. Toes turned out heels together, then toes turned in heels out and then straight. So using all three sets of surounding hip support muscles. . . . . . .

Morning pilates exercise

Posted on

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.... . . . . . .

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

Posted on

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
