Lindsey Fitness News -4th August 2023 - Just Breathe...

Published: Thu, 08/03/23

Hello August? ......as we find ourselves hoping for some warmer, drier Summer days!

Exercise of course is always a great mood lifter whatever the weather. That time in your week where you focus on you. It's your time to enjoy, switch off from everything else and embrace moving your body and all the benefits that brings.

Whether you have an energetic or more holistic approach to exercise it all benefits you physically, mentally and emotionally. I know what exercise I most enjoy for myself, but also through teaching a variety of exercise, what classes Lindsey Fitness Members enjoy.

Lindsey Fitness. Home features a whole library of online session replays for members to use at any time to suit them. Chose from Aerobics and Hiit along the LIVE weekly sessions of Mindfulness and Mobilisation every Monday at 6.55am and Fitness Pilates on Wednesdays at 5.55pm. Both these sessions feature mindful breathing and energy hygiene techniques, along with movement, stretch and strengthening flows to relax you or challenge you.

The F2F classes continue with good old classic aerobics for a cardio workout, with both simple and complex choreography incorporating fun formation work for a mental challenge too,

The weekend truly doesn't start until you've worked out at Monks Walk School (yes we are still there!) For the more energetic, build your on your fitness with HiiT featuring cardio vascular, strength and endurance challenges for all levels incorporating weights and kettlebells too. This is followed by Walkfit which always has the happiest of vibes, yes it's challenging but perfectly achievable for everyone and includes a strength section with handweights too.

I have never known a class where we smile and giggle so much - one quote this week " its such a fun class, even if I am a hot hormonal mess".

Classes run on a full timetable throughout August and September, members can chop and change their classes to makeup for holidays and there is always a FIRST CLASS FREE if you would like to try any of the classes available.

The power of breathing is often underestimated. Breathing is an essential bodily function that provides oxygen to our cells and removes carbon dioxide, allowing us to survive. However, the way we breathe can also have a significant impact on our physical and mental well-being.

Deep, slow breathing has been shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and reduces stress. It can help to lower blood pressure, slow down the heart rate, and improve digestion. Deep breathing also increases the flow of oxygen to the brain, enhancing mental clarity and focus.

Breathing exercises, such as diaphragmatic breathing or alternate nostril breathing, can be used to regulate emotions and calm the mind. These techniques have been used for centuries in practices like yoga and meditation to promote mindfulness and reduce anxiety.

Furthermore, proper breathing techniques can benefit athletes and performers. By learning to control their breath, they can increase their endurance, improve their lung capacity, and enhance their overall performance.

In addition to its physical and mental benefits, breathing also plays a role in spiritual practices. Many spiritual traditions emphasize the importance of breath as a way to connect with the present moment and cultivate a sense of inner peace and awareness.

Overall, the power of breathing lies in its ability to influence our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. By paying attention to our breath and practicing deep, intentional breathing, we can tap into its transformative potential and improve our overall quality of life.

Whatever your reason, whatever your need ....

Mind, Body & Soul

The July Reset resulted in some fantastic changes for the participants who are now taking forward new and firmly embedded healthy habits surrounding their approach to food and eating. There were also consequential weight losses, fine tuning for some of 3 or 4 lbs up to 11lbs as a kick start to continuing weight loss with the Colour Code System.

Tasty Quick Fish Stew

Ingredients:

1 ½ pounds of white fish fillets, cut into chunks
1 onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 red pepper, diced
1 can (14 ounces) of chopped tomatoes
2 cups of fish or vegetable broth
1 cup of white wine
1 cup of coconut milk
1 tablespoon of tomato paste
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and red pepper, and sauté until they become soft and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), fish or vegetable broth, and white wine to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes.
Gently add the fish chunks to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the liquid. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the stew simmer for another 5 minutes to allow all the flavours to combine.
Serve the fish stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley. It can be enjoyed on its own or with crusty bread or rice - ENJOY!

Note: I like to add other ingredients such as prawns and mussels, along with extra green veg like peas and baby broad beans instead of having with bread or rice
