TenStretch – The UK’s first reformer-based stretch class

-

Ten Health & Fitness have created the UK’s first reformer-based stretch class that will loosen up your whole body and help you enjoy a greater range of movement in shoulders, hips and spine. This is a very intelligent class created by master trainer Erica Foulds who believes that a reformer class will give you a deeper and more effective stretch than a traditional one. 

During a class, the trainer will lead you through a progression of dynamic stretches to improve all-round flexibility and mobility. There will be a specific focus on the problem areas and muscles groups most adversely affected by the muscular imbalances and postural challenges of our 21st century living. This class will improve your range of motion around many of the joints in the body. You will enjoy a series of deep, yet controlled positions and movements, carefully aligning the body to produce isolated stretches to specific muscles. You will experience more flexibility and your posture will improve too. 

Some of the benefits of stretching include: 

Improves posture and flexibility: Without proper stretching our posture suffers which can lead to stiffness, soreness and aching muscles. Some studies have even show that bad posture can deepen depression. Stretching increases our range of motion and lowers the risk of pulled and ripped muscles when we exercise but also in our daily life.

Creates better alignment: When our body loses alignment it often affects our balance, metabolism and visual acuity. Stretching in the right way will prevent this or help the body to re-centre itself again.  

Reduces stress: The slow and calculated movement of stretching is calming the for mind and relieves tension. That makes this a very simple but effective tool to reduce stress both physically and mentally.  

TenStretch is less intense than their standard reformer classes and will focus more on improving flexibility and posture than strength. This class will remind you of how it feels to feel open and stretched out.

Intermittent fasting - the future of sustainable weight loss

-

Fasting, or rather intermittent fasting, has truly seen an upswing in popularity in the last year and the trend is set to explode. Intermittent being the key word, this new and fresh approach sees old school fasting routines dusted off and modernised to fit into today’s up and go-lifestyles. Historically, fasting has always proved efficient for people who want to shed a few pounds, but there has also always been the issue of how to embrace this long term. Missing out on certain nutrients and dealing with tiredness and a clouded mind has unavoidably positioned original fasting as yoyo dieting, making it understandably difficult for people to fully commit.  Intermittent fasting suggests a shorter fasting window and a frequency to suit each individual and can be even more efficient when supported by certain health-boosting supplements, something that new collagen drinks brand Ancient + Brave has cleverly snapped up. Their range of powders and oils are made with the world’s most poten
