In the Pilates studio
Lunges with your weight on an unstable base. This helps all the muscles and core engage from your balancing foot ankle and leg to your core and glutes and tum. However…on another level It has just been suggested to me by my hip surgeon that anyone like me who has had a hip re-surface surgery […]
Finally over flu and back to a barrecore class Always have a protein breakfast straight after a workout
Poached eggs on toast with smashed avocado witj chilli and an espresso today. Usually my lowcarb and protein breakfasts are wheatfree but today I really fancied a slice of granary toast A little of what you fancy is slways a good thing. Then you dont feel deprived or hanker after the forbidden any more.
Back in the Pilates Reformer studio One leg in table top, the other doing straight leg raises to the highest point that stretches the ham strings too
All the time keeping the hips stable, core engaged and spine in neutral-not flat to the reformer.

Never feel guilty
Healthy low carb and protein breakfast post-exercise workout Omelette with cheese, spinach and mushroom and an expresso coffee
Studio reformer Pilates This seated “froggy plie” exercise is to help core stability, hip flexors, all leg muscles
The important bit is is to try and keep the back straight, tummy muscles engaged and the plie movements as smooth as possible. Its more difficult than it looks.
Back in the pilates studio This exercise engages core, helps spinal mobility, hip flexors, balance, gluteals and flexibility
It is much harder than it looks as it also requires the reformer to be held out and stay in place and still whilst bending over and twisting
What to do with leftovers for a healthy brunch? Basically beat eggs as though youre making an omelette but oven bake it so it becomes more like a Spanish tortilla
I added sweet potatoes and courgette which i part fried in coconut oil. Once cooked I kept in the fridge, taking slices out and grilling them with gruyere cheese on top till bubbling and crispy. Served with wilted spinach. Yum
