November 2010

Its been a great October, lots of fun classes and masses of new ideas, make sure you read the article at the end of this newsletter regarding exercise helping depression, although I know most of you realise this  and I am really pleased to have re-introduced the relaxation at the end of the Friday morning class, the big squoosy gym mats to lie on and the huge heaters on at the end of a fun class, what more can you ask?

No class Monday Evening 15th November, due to the Carnival

Class of the month for October is my Thursday morning Step and Sculpt Class, this is a packed class of hard working people, with a great combination of Fat blasting and Sculpting work
Client of the month is Mandy Townie, who realized that after a weekend of being inside attend family celebrations needed to get out and move again, and then did the new body sculpting three days in a row.

Focus for November is the waist, we are going to sort this area out with a combination of fat burning and sculpting.

Goodie Bags – the December Goodie bags are already being packed up, my clients who attend most in December will get an extra Christmas treat 

New Body Sculpting Work – as most of you have discovered, in October I asked all my classes what they wanted to change most, listened to the answers and then spent many hours devising body toning exercises that worked really effectively in the least amount of time, and judging by the feedback, I have never got it more right!
So get into the class and be ready to burn serious amounts of calories, and then tone up you waist, flatten your belly, banish those bingo wings, and trim your thighs and hips. Can we really do all that? You bet, all it takes is attendance!

Physical activity can stave off depression - but only if it is fun, research has suggested.

Scientists confirmed that people who take regular exercise are less likely to be depressed. But they also found that such activity has to be during leisure time to be of any benefit.
People who exert themselves at work, for instance by digging up roads or heavy lifting, were no less likely to suffer depression than those in sedentary desk jobs.

Researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, teamed up with colleagues in Norway to carry out the study of 40,401 Norwegian residents.

Participants were asked how often they engaged in both light and intense physical activity during their leisure time and how physically active they were at work.

The study found that individuals who took part in regular physical activity - however mild or intense - were less likely to have symptoms of depression. However, this only held true when activity was part of leisure.

Those who were not active in their leisure time were almost twice as likely to suffer symptoms of depression than the most active individuals. The findings are published in the British Journal of Psychiatry.

Lead researcher Dr Samuel Harvey said: "Our study shows that people who engage in regular leisure-time activity of any intensity are less likely to have symptoms of depression. We also found that the context in which activity takes place is vital and that the social benefits associated with exercise, like increased numbers of friends and social support, are more important in understanding how exercise may be linked to improved mental health than any biological markers of fitness.
"This may explain why leisure activity appears to have benefits not seen with physical activity undertaken as part of a working day.
