NO LONGER WISH TO RECEIVE THIS NEWSLETTER? REPLY ‘UNSUBSCRIBE’
Hello and welcome to this month’s newsletter. I am so delighted to see the bulbs poking their heads up through the ground. It makes me think of Spring and warmer, longer days. I do wonder if Winter wasn’t so grey, would Spring feel so good? All the seasons definitely have their good and bad points. Which season is your favourite?
The weather has been so changeable this month so I’ve had to pick and choose my days for walking. Across muddy, boggy fields, through puddles and over fallen trees and across hard and crispy fields! I’ve had it all. However, I never regret venturing out, even if returning wet. It blows the cobwebs, allows me to think in the quiet and also to catch up on many Podcasts. Do keep your Podcast suggestions coming as it’s great to listen to new ones.
THE BALANCE APP – DR LOUISE NEWSON
Do you know about the Balance App? It was created by Dr Louise Newson, a GP and Menopause specialist. It’s designed to help you log your journey day by day, recording symptoms, periods, moods, sleep, activity and food & drink. Also giving you helpful tips, recipes and articles to help navigate your way through. It’s free and can be found through the App Store. It’s a brilliant way to highlight any patterns, for example if you’re suffering with bloating you can look back easily on what you’ve had to eat and drink to if there are any triggers. If you’re not sleeping well you can also check your diet but also maybe stress levels. It’s a start to get more in control of journey. Is anyone already using it? How has it helped you, I’d love to know.
THE MENOPAUSE CAFE
This is an opportunity for us to get together, move our bodies, clear our busy minds and have a conversation. I’m hoping that ladies at all different stages of the menopause will come along, even if you went through it many years ago. We all have something to offer whilst we navigate this stage in our lives.
The sessions will be menopause related; A strength training session with weights of your choice, A weight bearing based Pilates session (no weights) and to finish a Mind Body Flow session to clear your mind and relax. We will then break for refreshments and general chatter!
Each exercise session would be 30 minutes with a 15 minute break in between. £20.00 for the morning including refreshments and all you need is an exercise mat, pad for head, weights of your own choice and wear loose, comfortable clothing and trainers.
The places are limited so do let me know ASAP if you will be coming along.
NOT RECEIVING CORE FITNESS EMAILS?…….
I know some of you are finding that the Core Fitness emails are landing in your Spam. If this happens using Outlook highlight the email, right click, scroll down the menu to ‘Junk’ and select ‘Never block sender’. If using any other email software the process maybe slightly different.
