Get Fit & Festive  is an online fitness and wellbeing programme designed for anyone who likes to have. a variety of workouts that suit their time and place.  You can workout from the comfort of your home, doing short or long sessions, and joining in the fun of the live classes, or watching later when it suits you - and you get to keep access for a whole year, so plenty of time to re-do the sessions that you missed.  The online programme has a community feel which makes everything work just a bit better.

 

What sets this out from other programmes, are the twice weekly talks that underpin the reasons why we are doing the sessions. Each week has a theme, such as how to manage stubborn belly fat (see the list below for full details!) and I will give you small tasks to keep you focussed on your goals.  It will include nutrition advice, alongside information about exercises to do at home and where to get fitness equipment.

 

This is the 4th Cafe to run up to Christmas and its appeal continues.  It is suitable for all levels of fitness, from newcomers to seasoned exercisers, with special information and advice if you are dealing with back pain, struggling with your weight, going through the menopause, or just want a convenient, research-backed approach to staying active, Get Fit & Festive is here to help.

Get Fit & Festive 2024 – Educational & Motivational Sessions

Join us for a series of informative and motivating talks, designed to help you improve your health and fitness this festive season. Each session covers an essential wellness topic, offering insights backed by the latest research and practical advice. Here's what you can expect each week:

​

19th November: Why Is It So Hard to Get Rid of "Belly Fat"?

In this session, we will explore why abdominal fat can be so challenging to reduce and address the factors that make it especially persistent. We’ll cover how age, hormonal changes, nutrition, and lifestyle choices such as sleep quality and stress management impact abdominal fat storage. Learn about how these factors interplay and discover actionable strategies to support a healthier, more balanced approach to body composition.

​

26th November: Managing Christmas Stress for Lasting Health and Wellbeing

Stress management is a common theme in the Café talks, and at Christmas, we can feel increased stressed – whether that is spending time together, or being alone, spending money, or not having any, providing the “prefect” Christmas and all the other expectations.  Understanding simple tips to ease anxiety will not only help you navigate these issues, but actually afford long term health benefits.  The more I learn about stress, the more I feel confident in taking practical steps from sleeping, eating, hugs and exercise. Learn why this is important to you.

​

3rd December: Building Fitness from the Inside Out

Strengthening the body from the inside out is crucial for long-term health and resilience. This session focuses on bone health, exploring the importance of strong bones as a foundation for physical fitness.

By the end of this talk, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to support your bones and overall health through targeted exercises, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications.
