We are back down in Lockdown. 2020 reminds me of a game of snakes and ladders! The studio will again be closed to clients and I’ll be back to teaching solely through a lens. To help us all through the next 4 weeks I have come up with a way for us to work together, even if we aren't allowed to do so in the same room. I'm calling it Wake Up Your Lock Down. I would like to make this very clear, this is NOT a 28 day challenge! We are up against one of the biggest challenges of our lives and I'm not about to set you another one! This is however about supporting each other.
Over the next 28 days (or longer if necessary!) I will post/email a daily movement offering. For DAY 1, I simply asked ‘How can you breathe bigger today?’ All you then need to do is send me a message via social media using the hashtag #wakeupyourlockdown and tag me in the post or send it to me personally with your own words of wisdom and interpretation of that offering. Read below to see what our focus is on each day of lockdown.
Let's spread the love of movement
and what it means for all of us as much as we can!
You can accompany it with a picture - it can be evidence you’ve followed a live or catch up class, a video on my Youtube channel or IGTV channel (see some suggestions below) . Each day I’ll give a suggestion of a number of different ways you can move, but our focus will be on the why not the how. You can send a picture of your training shoes, your watch, your achievement on Strava, Fitbit , your sweaty forehead! Show me how you have moved today through your words of achievement, motivation, advice, jokes, love and best wishes! Doing this shows we are all in this together and, by supporting each other through our movement - we can come out of this feeling so much better than before!
I will give a prize to the person who gives the most!!
The prize is not about how much you do - although don't let that stop you moving big - It is about how much you give!
The prize includes a free months membership to our live, in-studio and catch up classes plus 2 x 1 to 1 personal zoom sessions.
If you are already a member there is a bonus prize for you - attend 12 classes or more over the next 4 weeks (from 5th November to 2nd December, we will give you your sessions back! So yes - you get to do each class for free! This is valid for new and current members - The more you move, the more you post, hashtag and send me your thoughts, the more you have to gain!
