Every year in the week leading up to Christmas, I do a fun workout for my group classes called "12 Exercises of Christmas" Basically, you use the song “The twelve days of Christmas”, do you know it? If not here is someone singing it better than I could 😉 To summarise, the first few lines go: 🎶 On [...]
I feel like so many people around me are sick. I am seeing many clients and friends becoming sick these days. Colds, flu, viruses and COVID. It is all circulating at the moment, and a few weeks ago, I also caught COVID and was sick for a few days. [...]
