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?

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.
January seems to have flown by and the News Years resolutions everybody set on 1st January are either now a habit and you can’t believe you hadn’t been doing it before, or your old habits crept back it. Lots of my clients did dry January, and I know some people had some nice hangovers last weekend to celebrate finishing it.
There are lots of different options for you to choose from and the market is currently flooded with lots of choices for you enticing you to buy their drinks to give you lots of energy, stop you aching and build muscle. I am going to help you decide if you need any of them when you exercise, for this blog I am going to focus on recovery drinks and protein shakes.
Well depending on your goal both, but the link between the numbers 70:30 or 80:20, and the ratio is important.
