Your monthly fitness newsletter

What next?

Hello healthy people,

Yes, that is me petrified, walking down a 9 storey building. It is done! Sometimes scary things can be good, especially when raising money for MND Scotland. Thanks to generous sponsors, we raised £560.

So what’s next? Less online time - Yes, this newsletter is taking a break for three months to enjoy a Scottish summer. If you’re reading this on your phone, look up and around you. See the world as it is, not through a screen (feel free to stop reading!).

We’re easing into longer days with lots of studio bookings and increasing outdoor fitness. As the days get longer we naturally do more cardio, using heart rate training, in greenspaces. Read on to learn more…

Why Heart Rate Training?

Heart Rate training is a good way of ensuring that you exercise at your correct effort level.

Too many people start too fast and put themselves off (or get injured).

Start easy and build up from there.

Cycling in a spring breeze (strong headwind) burns a lot of energy, so filling food is good. Here’s my fav:

Easy Mushroom Pasta Recipe

Sometimes you just want a simple refuel, fast. This is my I.C.E (in case of emergency) evening meal. If you’re exercising regularly you need carbs as your #1 fuel source. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise…

I’ll leave you with am image of the Arthur Street planter looking rather verdant. We have lilly flowers, buddleja, tulips, teasel and honesty all about to bloom.

Catch up at the end of summer, but please feel free to drop me a line anytime, just hit reply!
