Stretching into 2019 with Homedics #ad

December 20, 2018 by wildcatfitness

If there’s one New Years Resolution I’m determined to keep this year, it’s to stretch more and spend more time recovering in between training sessions. My body always feels so much better when I do and it really helps iron out any aches and niggles, as well as keeping me injury-free, and yet it’s something I neglect to do enough of when life gets busy. So when Homedics asked if I wanted to try their special Stretching Mat, I was intrigued to see if it could help me make post-workout more of a priority.

#InternationalYogaDay with Planet Manna

June 28, 2016 by wildcatfitness

To me there’s nothing better than celebrating fitness of any kind, so when I was invited to a sunrise Yoga session to celebrate International Yoga Day last week (21st June) and to launch brand new health festival Manna I RSVP’d with pleasure. And despite some horrific rain and thunderstorms in the days leading up to it, the skies cleared for our introduction to all things Planet Manna on a West London rooftop.

As we made our way to Pergola on the Roof (the top of the old BBC Television Centre in Shepherds Bush, West London) and the sunshine started to break through I knew we were in for a special morning getting a taste of what Planet Manna is all about.

Review: Aquaphysical Workout on Water

July 9, 2015 by wildcatfitness

Last week, courtesy of fellow fitness bloggers and uber babes Lu de Lux and Pig to Rig I was invited to the Serpentine in Hyde Park to take part in the launch event for Aquaphysical who in their words “enjoy using the natural fluidity of water to achieve flexibility, stability and strength” on the very first water based responsive exercise mat. When I received the invitation my fitness curiosity got the better of me and I instantly accepted, but as the date drew nearer and reports were growing that the launch date was going to be the hottest day in London for 10 years I could barely contain my excitement. I’ve often seen or heard about people who go swimming in the Serpentine (which runs through London’s gorgeous Hyde Park) and quite frankly always thought they must be mad to willingly throw themselves into freezing cold Thames water, but on Wednesday evening with the temperature still north of 30 degrees I couldn’t think of anything better.
