Found my perfect spot at home to do more ‘live’ chats

Will do another chat , Q&A towards the end of the week with Nesse
@nesseinlondon (Fitness/nutrition/sarcasm)
in advance of our joint class on Monday. .
The class will be aimed at all ages young and old- she is young and I am old.
.
Whilst Nesse instructs and demos, I will be sharing the class with her onscreen as her pupil – adapting some of the exercises for those who are older or less fit. .
We will also be focussing on re-aligning our posture and spinal mobility from so many hours spent sitting in front of screens.
.
Nesse is a great instructor and irreverant and funny with her chat
Hope you can join us.
The next class is 10am Monday morning.
Please do let us know if there’s another time of the day you would prefer.
Maybe evening – 6pm – better for you? .
The website to book in for the next zoom class is at:

Nesse is a brilliant pilates and barre teacher.
I am 65 and try to keep myself fit and healthy.

In life before Covid19 I spoke on radio, TV and in schools and organisations on mental wellness, social media, positive body image, first impressions and healthy eating (I have a nutrition diploma) health, beauty, lifechange and personal image and style. (I was a celebrity stylist for A list stars for 30 years) .

Nesse and I are going to be chatting together at 10am tomorrow –
and answering your questions on any subjects you ask us:
From menopause to men,
Healthy diet or current lifestyle dilemmas
And
pilates to positivity.
… and more.. .
before Nesse and I host a Zoom fun Pilates class the following Monday for anyone who is age 50 plus and would still like to keep fit. .
Look forward to 10am tomorrow.
A date for your diaries.

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. . .

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. . . . . .

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. . . . . . .

When you realise that your pilates core, tum and glutes exercises are not impressing your audience of one @misslucy_lou as she has decided to lie down and go to sleep

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? . . . . .
