What do Zumba, aerobics, trampolining and tennis all have in common? They all require a certain amount of jumping. Not just jumping up and down with your legs together, in a controlled manner, but launching yourself, legs akimbo and hoping for the best. Whilst this might have sounded like fun…
I love my ante natal Pilates classes. We often digress onto the weird and wonderful side of pregnancy. And women often say to me that it’s this, ‘beyond Pilates’ education that they find so relevant and useful about my ante natal Pilates classes. So rather than keep them to myself,…
Whilst granny might have said, “a little of what you fancy does you good,” actually, when it comes to fatty foods that’s just not the case. Scientists at the University of Montreal have found that even one meal rich in saturated fat affects the way your arteries function and could…
You may or may not know that Princess Kate’s pert bottomed little sister Pip has just published a book all about partying and the organisation thereof. It’s from this book that I discovered Pippa’s Venison and Beetroot Stew (technically I’m pretty sure it’s a casserole since it goes in the…
