Yay! If you are reading this then you survived the Christmas food fights. Not only in the war zones of the supermarket aisles where reaching for a mango could lead to limbs being lost, but also in the kitchens, BBQ’s and eateries around the Island.
After endless food inhaling some of you would have spent time snoozing through food comas vowing never to eat that much ever again, or at least not until Easter (Yes, I know, hot cross buns are in the supermarkets!) or the next family gathering.
Us? Well we had a very quiet Christmas day only venturing out for a coffee. Yes we did indulge in some Christmassy goodies but not the coma inducing amounts that some people manage to force down just “because it’s there and it’s Christmas”.
I’ve got to say that it is beyond me as to why people feel the need to gorge to the point where your body has to shut down and sleep just to stop you eating anymore and hopefully give your overloaded body time to process the approximately 16,000 calories that are now wrapped around your vital organs.
But enough already! Christmas and New Year are over and I really do hope it was as fun and fabulous as you wanted it to be and that you drowned in the spirit of family and love and not so much in the spirit from the local liquor store.
So here we are off on another new adventure fueled year.
Actually, as I keep saying… New Decade! Right now your dreams and resolutions are still new, shiny, sparkly and shimmery. Awwwww that’s so exciting! This time of year really is filled with hope, happiness, plans and goals.
It doesn’t matter what your plans are, they don’t have to be fitness related. They could be about travelling or studying. Maybe both! You might be planning on learning to speak Outer Mongolian so you can travel to Outer Mongolia and be able to order a Yaks milk latte and not mistakenly order a huge plate of Stujin, which for those who can’t speak Mongolian, is boiled and jellied sheep’s head with “other” things (OMG what other things?!) thrown in for good measure. Ummm, yummy??
But you know, deep down, in that place where you just know you know, that no matter what your plans for this coming year or decade are, you know, yes you do, that to achieve your plans you need a healthy body and mind to carry you through, and to get that you need to eat the right food (which luckily is not a jellied sheep head) and to exercise. Yes, E.X.E.R.C.I.S.E.
Don’t you just hate that I do that, turn dreams of sitting in a yurt, watching the sunset across the steppes of Outer Mongolia, drinking an Outer Mongolian Yaks latte, into an exercise thing. Well it’s what I do bestest and it’s the truth.
Looking after your body and mind does involve exercise.
Whether it’s because you want to be able to trek steppes or fly to Vegas you will need to be active and able enough to walk huge airports, get in and out of buses and planes, remember your flight number and the name of your hotel.
So get organised and make a difference to your next decade, whether it’s your 2nd or your 9th you should be fit enough to do what you want as often as you can. Throughout the year I ramble on about not needing a new year or even a Monday to start changing your life, you CAN do it any time of the week, any time of the day. Just because you have sat and binged on Netflix all day Tuesday it doesn’t mean you have to wait till next Monday to get off the sofa and walk, you can actually start on Thursday afternoon, Friday or even on a holiday.
For Instance, Starting on Wednesday the 22nd of January my Heartbeats classes are once again part of the Moreton Bay Regional Council Healthy & Active program. This means that right through until June 3rd 2020 the Wednesday classes will be Free.
These classes are a great class for those who want to add some gentle exercise into their week (there are Monday and Friday classes for $5 a class as well). They are designed for anyone with a chronic illness such as Heart Disease, Diabetes, Arthritis, Cancer , etc. Everyone has a chair so you can sit and rest whenever you want, and we do some of the exercises seated but not all of them. Balance, Co-ordination, strength and cardio are all included in the class which lasts an hour but has lots of little rests throughout.
You can try a Circuit Class for FREE.
Six days a week Andrew conducts our circuit classes which are great for fat burning and cardio increasing. They are always fun and filled with laughter.
If you would like to try a free class then give Andrew a call to book in. The classes are held Monday to Friday at 9am, Saturday at 7am and Monday to Thursday night at 5.15pm. Surely you can fit at least one of those in each week!
So, enough sitting around telling yourself you really should do something! Whether you want to book in for the Wednesday Heartbeats class, try our popular circuit class or book in for a free chat to see what makes us totally different from your average gym, then give me a call on 0408803037 and get this decade off to an awesomely wonderfully funtabulously great start!
