World Heart Day 2018
True love! World Heart Day 2018 is celebrated on 29th September every year. It’s a day created to get people around the world more aware that heart disease and stroke are the world’s leading cause of death.
Autumn Equinox
This Saturday, September 22 it’s the Autumn Equinox that means it’s officially the first day of autumn. It’s a beautiful season of colour, a final blaze before the cold and dark bareness of winter…
Buddy Up
World Suicide Prevention Day takes place every year on 10th September. This year it’s needed more than ever as rates of depression and suicide, that is all too often tragically the end result of that depression, are on the increase around the world.
Migraine Awareness Week
This week it’s Migraine Awareness Week. Migraine is the third most common disease on the planet affecting millions of people. In fact, one in seven people in the world suffers from migraine.
Feel Encouraged
Where does the time go? It’s already the Late Summer Bank Holiday… Well, at least we’ve had a summer this year, and what an uplifting thing it is, that orange ball of fire in a clear blue sky. It’s been great to just be able to chuck on some shorts and a T-shirt.
Test Yourself
Assuming the weather gives us at least some of the glorious sunshine it has this summer, or at least doesn’t rain, we’ll be treated to one of the most English things of England – Test cricket. For those not in the know on the art of cricket, Test matches are the highest level, completed between international teams.
Eat Fresh & Keep Fit
It’s National Allotment Week this week. It was set up to remind us how beneficial an allotment can be for everyone. So if you have one, get down to it. Or if you know someone who does, ask them if you can help.
Dedicated to reach the levels
So let it be an inspiration for you to commit to get fit to Premiership levels this season. For instance, it’s reckoned the average player runs about seven miles in the 90 minutes of a match, and that will be at varying paces, with breaks between each sprint, trot or run.
Get fitter when training side by side
We see plenty of friends join our gyms together. There are fantastic reasons to as it means both encourage each other to go, and push each other to achieve more when they’re there – and so get fitter when training side by side. Plus it’s more fun! That’s on the way, during and afterwards as you warm down together.
Cycle, Cycle, Cycle
This year’s Tour de France – the 105th no less! – is now in its last week. More than 170 riders set off on 7th July to see who can ride 2,069 miles fastest over all sorts of terrain.
