H O L I D A Y S Throwback to last weeks holiday on the beautiful island of Crete *sighs* Back to work today but still feeling greedy for time to escape, dream and just be. ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ School holidays can be a mixed blessing for working parents, with no crazy school runs, family time (YAY!) But then there’s childcare conundrums, rainy day boredom, constant demands for food (where do they put it all? 😂) ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ Personally, I miss my own headspace and find it hard to be in ‘doing’ mode all the time, but I’m trying to go easy on myself and allow myself mini-time-outs each day and going for a short walk in the mornings when possible. What are you doing to stay balanced? ⚖️
Monday 6pm class is now full, but don’t worry you can sign up to the mailing list to be first in the know if new places open up! Link in bio dudes 👆🏻
Always lovely to receive feedback but even more fantastic when you know you have really helped somebody to remain active doing the thing they are passionate about! That’s what it’s all about folks!
Good luck to all the runners taking part in #yorkrunforall2019 today! #running #yorkrunners #2019yorkrunforall #asdafoundationyork10k #york #york10k
C H A L L E N G E S I’ve now recovered from the #yorkshire3peaks and can descend stairs unaided once again! I’ve also had time to reflect - there was so much to feel proud of and so much confidence regained on this challenge. I was nervous in the run up - would the work I had put in to strengthen my Dodgy knees be enough to withstand the ascents? Did I have enough stamina, cardiovascular fitness, endurance? Would I get on with the rest of the team that I had never met before? So much fear and uncertainty, yet I did it anyway. And though the first climb up Pen y Ghent was tough, Once I had that in@the bag, I never for a moment thought that I would not complete the whole challenge. And that certainty surprised me. Because I’m so used to doubting myself, and have become more risk averse as I have gotten older. More fearful, I suppose. Well, may I now put it on the record that this is an official f**k you to that mentality! I was flipping buzzing on the final descent, and I want more of that feeling please! Whaddya reckon? You with me?
I’ve just done a live 😄 to show you my veg box delivery!! If any York peeps are interested there’s a recommend a friend thing this month, so let me know! @riverfordyorkeast @michellelyons_muliebrity
Met with a lovely new 1:1 client this week & we were chatting about the barriers to exercise at her life stage (mum to young children and working part time). We came up with some hacks to keep mum and toddler happy that will enable her to meet her physical activity quota each week. ⁠🏋️‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️💃⁠ ⁠ But we also talked about this being the perfect time to address the deeper, quieter work of reconnecting pelvic floor, posture and breath; making small but sustainable dietary changes; getting your support network and your mindset in order. These are all important for the long game of self-care. The Littles won't be little forever, and when more time starts to come back to you, you will be one step ahead. ⁠ ⁠ Contact me today if you'd like to know more about 1:1 Pilates and how it can help you make the most of your moving parts!⁠ Link in bio! 👆⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #pilates #pilateslife #pilatesmom #pilatesbusiness #pilatesmat #pilatesmatwork #physioledpilates #physiopilates #healthandfitness #balance #flexibility #strength #movement #wellbeing #health ⁠ #happywomen #wellwomen #womenswellbeing #strongwomen #innerstrength #womenshealth #fitmoms #fitmums ⁠ #physio #physiotherapy #physiopilates #physicalactivity #healthpromotion

B L U E L I G H T ⁠ Emitted from phones, tablets and laptops, blue light has been linked to weight gain, so if you are serious about controlling your weight you need this information. Goggle-up nerds, here’s the SCIENCE bit🤓 ⁠ ⁠ Blue light messes with our circadian rhythm by keeping melatonin levels low, when they should be rising (ie. At, night, when its dark). Melatonin usually causes leptin to be released, making us feel full. Leptin also up-regulates thyroid which increases growth hormone. The metabolism increases and we burn fat. Unless Melatonin is supressed. By light. Especially blue light. From the phone you are scrolling though at bedtime. 😳⁠ ⁠ ⁠ I’ve switched to a good old fashioned radio alarm clock and the iPhone stays far away in the kitchen. I’ve also got a small notebook and pen next to the bed, so that If I have the urge to google something URGENTLY 🙄 – I’ll just jot it down instead. At 7.30am, it is seemingly far less urgent. Case in point this morning: "research blackheads" Go figure.⁠ ⁠ For more info on the benefits of sleep - see my latest blog post - link in profile etc.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #happywomen #wellwomen #womenswellbeing #strongwomen #innerstrength #womenshealth #fitmoms #fitmums ⁠ #midlife #perimenopause #menopause #femalehealth #femalewellbeing #preventativemedicine #empower⁠ #physio #physiotherapy #physiopilates #physicalactivity #healthpromotion
