How are you doing? Did you enjoy the long weekend?

Im going to keep it short and sweet this week as I have a challenge for you at the end of this.

Guess what a client made me eat yesterday.......

I love the fact we are finally getting some sunny days to get out and about, it makes my mornings so much easier to get up, does anybody else find that?

Although the 4 weather systems I experienced on Saturday made me question is summer nearly here. We went to Sherwood Pines for a walk, plus gives me a chances to look at the people on GoApe and the Segways.

I have just been watching a load of programmes on catch up and just finished Bear Grylls Mission Survive and The Island. Both programmes showing extreme challenges from the raft building, climbing, abseiling, trekking which I think I could do quite well at, however I am not so sure about the sleep deprivation, lack of water and food. Anybody that knows me well knows I have to eat regularly otherwise hangry Gemma appears.

How was your Easter weekend?

I'm sure you will have all heard about your 'core' by now and how important it is to keep it strong in everyday life and the vital role in plays within exercise.

The thing to remember your core isn't just about your abs and having a six pack.

I the winter months when it is cold outside all you want to do is wrap up warm and stay inside, especially if get achy joints.

For his latest film Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds completed intense training with his Personal Training Bobby Storm, even if he has commented it is only a fraction of what Hugh Jackman has to do for Wolverine.

Reynolds transformed his body for his role in Blade Trinity, piling on the muscle and reducing his body fat percentage, this background meant he knew the hard work he would have to put in to create the character Deadpool. He focused a lot on functional fitness, using equipment like the TRX, BOSU bands to work his core muscles. This was incorporated with kickboxing to add in the martial arts and strengthening and stretching with yoga.

At the moment I am trying out new experiences and different ways to exercise. I have always been into adventure and although I love playing football and team sports, I like doing things that will challenge myself. I think this is why I like surfing and skiing.
