This Christmas, the Naan family got a Wii Fit – something I’d initially been quite sceptical about but after reading great reviews was quite excited about finally getting it. Two weeks ago, for various reasons, I also bought My Fitness Coach (Wii) – another personal virtual trainer style product. I’ve been asked by several people [...]

The UK Territorial Army are currently offering a free interactive personal fitness programme on their website which looks pretty good, although there’s a lot of emphasis on jogging which I don’t particularly enjoy. I have been slowly getting fitter this year and am getting to the point where I have more control over and more [...]

A few random thoughts from the visit with the homoeopath last Friday: It was unbelievably thorough. I had a suspicion it might be (seeing as how I was warned it was going to be an hour and a half long), but didn’t really appreciate how much detail she would go through. Pretty much every condition [...]

Well, I have completed my first exercise session of my newly rediscovered-in-the-back-of-the-garage callanetics tape. I apparently have muscles that I never knew existed. I’m celebrating with alcohol, icecream and chocolate… is that bad or mandatory?

… well for today anyway. Since getting the SPD and OC diagnoses, I’ve been religiously practising daily yoga rather than relying on the bi-weekly antenatal classes, making sure I’ve been drinking eight glasses of water a day to help flush out toxins, and using a hypnotherapy/relaxation tape in the evenings. Not that I thought it [...]

Why oh why am I so crap at keeping up with exercise?! Finally managed to do some T’ai Chi tonight after hardly touching it for weeks. The daft thing is when I can actually motivate myself to do it, I really enjoy it and end up thinking “I really must do this more regularly, then [...]

Well had a great night out last night and managed to get pretty tipsy in the process which is all for the good. Fortunately for me, Akra Jr decided to give me a lie in and played in his room happily until 7.45am when he needed his nappy changing. Still a lovely change from his [...]

WTF is wrong with Amazon’s dispatch at the moment?! This is the second order that was supposed to have been dispatched in 24hrs and despite having an estimated delivery date of 25th April (which I think they’ve probably missed by now… unless we have some really committed postpersons in our area) while saying dispatch is [...]

Following on from my recent exercise quandaries, I have just ordered a T’ai Chi DVD from Amazon. I figured that it should be pretty low impact, and something a bit different from yoga, and a DVD should be easier to follow than squinting at diagrams in a book. Probably won’t meet my 15 minute criteria [...]

I’m not a particularly lazy person, but I’m not big on exercise either. I know I ought to do more, but I’m not overweight (if anything, slightly underweight) and I leave the car behind and walk as often as I can (about half an hour every other day on average I think). However, I am [...]
