Winter Warmers
Keep yourself warm and active in winter. Here are some my favourite things to keep me warm, motivated and on track during the cooler months:
· Invest in a jumper that you’ll love to pull on ready for exercise. Mine is a super soft hoodie, it feels luxurious to wear I never want to take it. Thanks Lorna Jane!
· In the morning enjoy a warm and filling breakfast a favourite of mine is warm oats, add LSA (ground Linseed, Soy and Almond), sultanas, chia seeds & flaxseed oil for extra body nutrients. Try using yoghurt instead of milk for a more creamier taste.
· Do a few lounges, squats and stretches to get your blood pumping, while your waiting for the kettle to boil
· Place your pilates matt out in the sun and lap up the Vitamin D whilst exercising your body.
· Put on your favourite music & dance like no ones watching, sure to amuse your family, they may even join in.
· Winter is a great time to exercise outside, as there is usually minimal rain, so find a time of day that works for you and get moving to your local park.
· Layer, layer, layer as you start your day you probably feel more chilled climbing out of bed, but during pilates I always find I start to warm up, so ensure to layer your clothing so you can remove it as your body becomes warmer.
· Stretching is even more important then usual as cold muscles tend to be tight muscles, give them a chance to perform at there best with some quad, calf and hamstring stretches, spinal twists, side bends & full body lengtheners – trying to stretch from one side of room to the other.
· Enjoy a pilates class with a friend, great to ensure you make it to class & even more fun for you.
· A cuddle is always sure to warm you up from the inside & get those good endorphins pumping.
· Devour some hot tasty dishes pumpkin soup, curry, shephards pie, vegetarian lasagne or for a few little naughties a fondue chocolate & cheese or warm creamy cobb loaf dip so many yummy things to warm the tummy
· At the end of day there’s nothing better than putting on your favourite knit boots & flanny pjs, cuddling up on the couch with a soft & cosy blanket, watching your favourite DVD with a cup of hot chocolate
