Finding the new in the everyday
Some of my favourite new things from last year were the circus/clown tricks I learnt to do, namely learning to juggle, making balloon animals, learning to mime, and spinning plates. This year, however, except wanting to learn to pratfall like Buster Keaton still being on my list, I've come to a circus standstill. That is… Continue reading Cirque de Soleil Workout
We're experiencing a very cold snap here in Frankfurt at the moment. Whilst last week we had lovely 9C days, it's suddenly jumped to -10 with a windchill of -17. Just a little different! It does normally get cold in the winter, but in my nearly 9 years of living here, I've not experienced such… Continue reading Jane Fonda Workout
November was a busy month for me as not only did I write an actual book, I also learned to do the splits! Well, kind of. Photo by Gabby K on Pexels.com At the beginning of November, I mentioned to a friend that I'd like to try and do the splits. She decided to join… Continue reading Day 336 – Attempted the Splits
Most of my new things recently have been either about food or exercise – I guess it's important to have a balance! Today we're back with exercise, and after a trying week I needed something light and fun, so I chose to finally cross off a Bollywood dance class from my list. I was looking… Continue reading Day 114 – Bollywood dance class
I've been doing Yin yoga on YouTube for the past few years, trying a few different videos, but always coming back to Yoga With Kassandra. She has a great series for beginners and is amongst one of the few yoga YouTubers who don't talk all through the quiet parts. This is very important in a… Continue reading Day 96 – Yin Yoga class
I've been trying to keep moving as much as possible whilst being stuck indoors at the moment. I manage to run 3 times a week, and as I mentioned here, I've been doing a lot of online classes live-streamed by the local fitness centre. After increasing my running distance this week, I have a little… Continue reading Day 92 – Qi Gong
I'm very fortunate and grateful to live close-by to a forest, I feel it even more so at the moment. I'm at my best when I'm surrounded by nature, and I know that I would not do well at the moment if I lived in the middle of the city. So on a sunny, Spring… Continue reading Day 88 – Hugged a tree
At the moment, I'm discovering how much exercising helps me mentally during this crazy time. A few weeks ago I finally started running again after a year off, I regularly do yoga and tai chi too, but since my movement has been so limited recently, I find myself with so much excess energy to burn… Continue reading Day 86 – Line dancing
This is something I've never done but always wanted to. I'm a hip hop fan and love a dance, so it seems like a perfect fit! I was looking for more ways to stay active whilst social distancing and came upon a Hip Hop workout class. Ok, so not a true Hip Hop class, but… Continue reading Day 81 – Hip Hop dance class
