walking as cardio – top tips for getting started

6th January 2015
Hands up if your new years resolution is to be fitter and healthier than you were in 2014? Yep you will find my hand in the air as well. And as the gyms are full to bursting with those taking their first steps on their very own fitness journey, a cold crisp morning was just too tempting not to let cardio take a more leisurely turn. Walking is a great way of getting in some cardio that doesn’t feel quite so arduous, especially if you live in a good location for it. We live a stones throw from two beautiful lakes situated  in the middle of rolling hills, dense woodland and a few sporadically/perfectly placed sets of stairs which are ideal for upping the pace a little.  Also walking is a great way to get started. If you can’t be sure you will use a gym membership monitor how many times you get outside for a bit of cardio until you feel comfortable that you can stick at it. It will also mean you miss out on the January gym madness. Here are few tips for getting out and moving more: – Head out during daylight ours, not only do you get to take in the great scenery but it’s also a lot safer. – Found some stairs or a hill? Run up and down a few times it will get your blood pumping especially this time of year. – Keep your pace up, walking as fast and as comfortably as you can – Aim for 10,000 steps per day at least, a great way to monitor this is with a wrist tracker and you can win one right now here! – Sometimes it’s easier than you think to fit a walk into your day, just leave your car at home!   […]

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
