Back to a barrecore class today

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? . . . . .

Morning fitness

Morning fitness. More agility exercises after the HIIT boxing with a trainer and pads. Would have worn a different sports bra and top if I'd known what I was going to be filmed doing! Too much jiggling flesh I feel! ... . @sportsperformance86 thank you x . . . .

Sweaty and definitely no filters

Sweaty and definitely no filters. Thank you @jamiebuckley5234 for the best dance fitness class ever with the funniest running commentary. Laughter and dance are the best feelgood combination even in tropical temperatures and no aircon as the class is in the local community centre. . . . . .

Modified side plank exercise

Modified side plank exercise. This is an easier version of the plank. This is a good alternative plank strengthening exercise, especially after a knee injury as there is no pressure or strain on the knees holding in this position when the core or glutes and hamstrings are still weak. . . . . . with thanks to @theliftingphysio

2nd exercise following on from hip flexor stretch using the foam roller

2nd exercise following on from hip flexor stretch using the foam roller. Basic table top toe taps to engage the core, glutes and lower abdominals. Using the foam roller in this position can help stop the hip flexors coming into action too when the core is still weak. . . . . .

Back to pilates rehab exercises

Back to pilates rehab exercises. Strengthening the core, glutes and hamstrings. With thanks to @bh_beyondhealth With even the simplest exercise it's important for the body to be correctly aligned for the exercise to be targeting the muscles properly.

Waking up the glutes

Waking up the glutes. When in rehab after a knee ligaments injury and little or no exercise for weeks- it's best to get the basic core strength muscles activated before launching back into the same advanced levels of exercise as before. Repetitions increase daily. The instructions are in the video voice-over together with my actions. With thanks to Tessa @bh_beyondhealth
