What self-care activity will you do?
It’s so easy to get caught up in life’s chores, so this weekend I’m encouraging you to take a portion of your day to look after yourself and do something that you enjoy. This could be as easy as putting on make-up, going for a walk, dancing to your favourite song or reading a book.
By doing this, you’ll help to improve your energy, happiness and concentration amongst other great benefits.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

Did you know that stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong and healthy.
With the weekend here spend some time looking after your joints. Take a simple walk around the block or perform a few stretches to help keep your muscles and joints supple and strong.

The importance of stretching 💪
If you spend a lot of time in one position or don’t stretch your muscles frequently, you increase your chances of making your muscles shorter and tighter, leading to muscle aches and pains.
By stretching your muscles daily you increase your flexibility and range of movement in joints which can help improve blood circulation and posture. Not to mention stretching also helps alleviates muscle tension throughout the body.
So go on, take a quick break and stretch those muscles.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

‘I don’t have time for exercise’ 🏋️♀️ Is something I hear all the time but what about a short walk around the block. Or, if it’s safe, parking further away from work?
These small changes can make a big difference to your life and help get you fit for summer.
I keep badminton rackets and a football in my car and stop off at a park on the way home to play. Not only does it help get my heart pumping but it’s a great way to de-stress after a long day at work.
Remember to always seek the advice of your medical doctor before going on any exercise plans. As always, if you have any questions feel free to pop by and see me in clinic.
Take care and stay healthy 🏸

It’s Exercise Right Week!
Exercise has many beneficial impacts on the body from overall health and well being to the prevention of chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
It’s so common to hear ‘I don’t have time for exercise’ but it doesn’t have to start with anything strenuous!
There are many exercises you can do at work, such as going for regular walks, stretching out your arms and legs and eating your lunch away from your desk. Research has shown that with 30 minutes of exercise or activity on most days of the week, the risk of chronic health problems are reduced.
So what are you waiting for, get up and take a walk!
