Exercise Tip: Stretch! [back to top] Why? Because it’s the most frequently neglected component of fitness. Today, so many people spend a large amount of the day sat down – driving, at their desk at work, watching TV in the evenings… Having your knees, hips and elbows constantly bent causes your muscles to adapt themselves to the shortened shape – meaning you become stiff and sometimes sore; particularly in the hip and the chest. Poor posture is also very often responsible for back pain. I can fully assess your range of motion; advise you on any tight muscles you have and provide advice on what flexibility training to do to correct the tightness or imbalances, just mention this when you call for your free phone consultation! Regular exercisers also benefit greatly from flexibility training as it can reduce your risk of injury; improve your performance in your chosen activity and help to decrease muscle soreness after exercise. 
It is important to stretch only the muscles that need stretching, and if you spend a lot of the day sitting down, try these two stretches three times a week and feel the difference!
Hip Flexors: Lean forward onto your front leg to feel the stretch at the inside top of your thigh (almost knicker-line), hold until the feeling of stretching goes. 
Chest: Bend your arm to 90 degrees and hold it on a wall, with your elbow level with your shoulder. Gently turn away from the wall, still leaving your arm on it, and feel the stretch just in front of your underarm. Again, hold until the feeling of stretching goes. Seasonal Foods [back to top] 
Eating seasonal fruits and vegetables means eating fresher and therefore tastier and more nutritious foods, and also supporting the local economy. On an environmental level, eating seasonally will reduce the CO2 emissions produced by growing and transporting non-seasonal foods. This month's seasonal fruits and vegetables are: artichoke, asparagus, aubergine, broccoli, carrots, courgettes, fennel, mangetout, peas, radishes, rhubarb, rocket, runner beans, spring onion, turnips, watercress, cherries, elderflowers, kiwi fruits and strawberries. Recipe: Artichoke Bruschetta [back to top] This makes a lovely lunch, or light dinner. Prep: approx 15 minutes Cook: approx 5 minutes Serves 4 - you could serve this with a watercress and rocket salad
Finally, a reminder that the Introductory Package of 4 one-to-one Personal Training sessions for only £70 is still available. Don't miss out - get in touch today! In the meantime, have fun staying healthy! Best wishes,
