I’ve not done a class review for a while, mainly because I haven’t been going to many! In fact, I’ve handed in my notice at the gym and will no longer be a member come October. Much as I love some of the classes I do, life at the moments mean that I’m just not getting the value out of it – no matter how good a class is, it’s not worth £70 if it’s the only thing I do in a given month!
August has been a pretty good month all in all. We travelled home from a wonderful holiday in France at the start of the month. Work has calmed down a little which has been nice. In the middle of August, … Continue reading August Review & September Goals
Well, June didn’t exactly pan out as I expected. Let’s start with the positives shall we? I’ll dig deep here… The month started well – the end of our week in Weymouth. The weather wasn’t amazing, but mainly dry and … Continue reading June Review & July Goals
I first read about Barry’s Bootcamp last year. Launched in LA in 1998, it’s slowly been expanding globally, and there are now two studios in London. Dubbed (by them, natch) “The world’s best workout”, I really wanted to try it out, and serendipitously, there happens to be a Barry’s studio round the corner from where my nutritional therapy course lectures take place. I’ve never managed to get to a class, but yesterday the family was away, and I had no one to rush home for, so I booked myself on.
Days habit missed: None – check me out
Ease of doing daily: Easy but tedious
Equipment required: Erm, cloth, hot water. Rubber gloves essential
Is it something I’ll continue? Yes
May has been a pretty good month all in all, not least because we had our first taste of hot weather for the year. Unfortunately it coincided with a weekend of lectures, but I was at least able to get to the park at lunchtime to eat in the sun. Luckily, I was able to find time for a panic pedi just before, so my feet were moderately more acceptable!
Days habit missed: A few, not many
Ease of doing daily: Easy
Equipment required: List of goals
Is it something I’ll continue? Yes
Ah yoga. Going to a yoga class has been on my to do list for what seems like forever. My instagram feed is full of lithe looking people in unfeasibly difficult poses, I know that it is great for strength, flexibility and the mind-body connection, and frankly I’d quite like the excuse to buy some of the lovely yoga clothing out there 🙂 So why have I never really got round to doing yoga until now?
Days habit missed: One apparently. I thought I’d done it but the run streak measurement on the app says not
Ease of doing daily: Moderate
Equipment required: I used the Headspace app, but you could do it without any equipment. You will need 10 or so quiet minutes though!
Is it something I’ll continue? Not sure
Blimey, March passed in a blink didn’t it? I’ve had a busy month, but even so, I seem to now be living in an alternate space/time continuum where my life is flashing before my eyes. Or perhaps I am simply living in cat years.
