рҹ’ҘNEWS FLASH рҹ’Ҙрҹ’Ҙ
You donвҖҷt need to spend hours doing exercise (unless you really want to of course)
Exercise snacking (as I heard it called on the radio the other day and I love рҹ’•) is exactly what IвҖҷve been promoting to you guys on here рҹҷҢрҹҸ»рҹҷҢрҹҸ»
... рҹ’ӘрҹҸ»Short sharp bursts of exercise every day (plus obviously moving more throughout the dayрҹ‘Ј) is so much more effective than doing (for example) 2 x 45 min spin classes per week and then sitting on your bottom for the rest of the week
Nothing wrong with doing the spin classes ASWELL рҹ‘ҚрҹҸ»рҹҡҙвҖҚвҷӮпёҸ
As you know I рҹ’– group exercise and highly recommend classes for the social aspect, accountability and obviously you get face to face instruction where we can see your technique and correct anything or modify.
IвҖҷm just saying, we need to be moving EVERY day to help not just our physical health but our mental health too рҹ§
So here is a little exercise snack for you to get your teeth into this morning рҹҚҪ
Bon appetite рҹҳң
вӯҗпёҸDo each exercise for 40 seconds and have 20 seconds rest in between each one
вӯҗпёҸRepeat the whole thing twice and youвҖҷve got a tasty 14 min morsel of exercise
Let me know how you get on with this one рҹ‘ҚрҹҸ» ( btw if you donвҖҷt have a mini band you can do the crab walk without obvs) рҹҳҠ . . .

This is my third session with Claire and I can certainly feel the positive difference in my body physically and mentally. I look forward to Wednesdays in order to clear my head and tone up at the same time.

Claire is a fantastic teacher and works on a level where there are more or less strenuous options to suit the individual.

Have thoroughly enjoyed my sessions. Thank you Claire, youвҖҷre ace! пҝҪпҝҪ

Recently attended ClaireвҖҷs Pilates class and really really enjoyed it! I didnвҖҷt think it would be challenging at all but it really works and my abs were feeling it for days after! I especially enjoyed the relaxation part at the end, just what I needed after a crazy day at work and with the kids, thanks Claire!

Really enjoyed ClaireвҖҷs class. It is easy to follow, everyone is really nice and itвҖҷs a great bit of me time!

Loving ClaireвҖҷs classes. IвҖҷve done Pilates elsewhere but Claire definitely gives that 1:1 attention when needed! Would definitely recommend!

Just finished a six week boot camp with Claire and i absolutely loved it. Shes so friendly and welcoming and supportive. Was going to miss her classes too much so signed up for her 6 week pilates class starting Wednesday and can not wait пҝҪ

IвҖҷve done various classes with Claire over the years, since having children. Been to most on my own and felt completely comfortable, which is probably why I kept going. Was really gutted when she moved to Bromsgrove. CanвҖҷt recommend highly enough.

I've been going to pilates for a few months now and I'm already shaping up and feeling healthier. Thanks to Claire, she's a great teacher, always giving you different options, depending on your fitness. Also a lovely friendly atmosphere too which is always a pleasure. Thankyou Claire.

I went to Claire's Fitness Pilates class last night for the first time. I'd not exercised in quite some time so was a little nervous but I thoroughly enjoyed the class!! Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere and the exercises were graded to suit all abilities. Will definately be going again!

Great class, I make sure is firmly book it in my diary on a Wednesday. Claire is a great motivator and can definitely see a difference in my strength and core stability since staying. Plus all the members who go are lovely!!Thanks Claire! Xx

Great Buggy Beat session this morning, thanks so much Claire! Just what I needed after six months of no exercise post birth, so unique, fantastic you can bring baby along and great to meet other moms too x

Claire is without a doubt one of the best class instructors I have come across. Her classes are always fun, exercises are adapted depending on your level of fitness to make them more simple or harder for those who like a challenge and easy to follow. Claire is also brilliant at putting newbies at ease. She has built a lovely friendly community within 4 U Fitness. If you haven't booked in for a class already, you really need to, as you won't be disappointed!
