"Some mums feel guilty taking time out from the children to exercise. Knowing that the single biggest positive influence on girls in particular being involved in sport and exercise is if their mother is, surely demonstrating to our children that this is important to us is a good thing?" - Julie

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

"You are not your age, nor the size of clothes you wear,
You are not a weight, or the colour of your hair.
You are not your name, or the dimples in your cheeks.
You are all the books you read, and all the words you speak.
You are your croaky morning voice, and the smiles you try to hide.
You’re the sweetness in your laughter, and every tear you’ve cried.
You’re the songs you sing so loudly when you know you’re all alone.
You’re the places that you’ve been to, and the one that you call home.
You’re the things that you believe in, and the people whom you love.
You’re the photos in your bedroom, and the future you dream of.
You’re made of so much beauty, but it seems that you forgot
When you decided that you were defined by all the things you’re not."

Anyone who signs up to HLC/QP gyms are told this when they first walk into any of my classes; we don’t compete, we support. We encourage, embrace and engage every last person who joins us, just as a fitness family should 💖

Morning all. Apologies for this, sincerely, but I will not be taking class tonight. I seem to have picked up a little bug from somewhere and I am really not well at all 🤒🤮

Working in this field every day, it is so important that we can recognise it, look after it, heal it and maintain it 🥰 everyone of us has mental health, just like we have a heartbeat and lungs to breathe. It’s vital that we take care of ourselves mentally!
The tools of my job are socialisation, therapies + music. The powerful effects that music has on your mood is phenomenal, especially when combined with movement. I know that those beats and tunes help enormously because of past research, and the practical applications of it in my job; I physically see it move people!

Go and put your favourite track on, lay back and ingest it. Listen to the words, feel the beat, let it carry you to memories, thoughts and feelings. Let me know how you get on, and by the way… you are welcome 🙏🥰

Morning All 💖
This week’s class is our party to raise funds for Ashgate Hospice 🩷💗💖 Every Penny helps, so if you can donate anything at all, please do 💓

Please also share the GoFundMe link, where everything raised will go directly to the charity 💕
