Early Morning Fit Camp!

I'm now in the second week of early risers fit camp and completely loving it!  The idea is to do 45 minutes three times a week Mon/Wed/Fri for 4 weeks.  It's kind of like doing circuits with a personal trainer but in a group.
I did the evening camps previously which were good but limiting for me as then I was unable to see clients 2 evenings a week which was not practical.  Now that I can do my exercise before the day has even started I am free to use the rest of my time however I choose.

There's something glorious about getting up with the sun and exercising at the break of day.  Also I think my body is still asleep at that time in the morning so it gets tricked into exercise before it realises what's happening!
Aside from not being able to walk for a day after the first session last week I have felt wonderful and am steadily improving my levels of fitness.  It's also had the added benefit of giving me a solid reason to get up early and start my day while most people are asleep.
I've discovered hours of the day previously unfamiliar to me.  I now get an hour of cleaning and reading done before I start my day which has changed my outlook immensely.

The only unfortunate thing is they video us sometimes and I am now up on the website.  Small price to pay to feel fabulous though!

Transformational Breathing

Since I began the process of making my own life more productive I have searched  seemingly endlessly for something to help me release my blocked emotions.  There is an idea that each cell in your body has it's own memory and events from your life that aren't fully processed get stored in areas throughout your body.

Although I felt I had consciously worked through the majority of my past it feels very left brained and logical.  Unsurprising as I was 100% logic a lot of the time, completely disconnected from my emotional self!  Now that I am reconnected and realised that a lot of my physical issues (such as back pain) are psychosomatic it's great to have found a process that releases these blockages almost effortlessly.

For me Transformational breathing is exactly what I needed.  It's completely in the body, no thought process to distract, rationalise or pretend.  For a total left brainer it was ideal to get me back into what's really going on for me.

I am excited about attending a group session in the near future and would recommend TB to anyone wanting to clear out their old baggage without having to bring it all up again.
