So.... Loaf number 6.... In my search for a gluten, dairy, egg, nut, soya free loaf of bread that is not full of emulsifiers and lab based ingredients.

I'm beginning to see why there are not any currently on the market! This is loaf number 6 and another one that unfortunately was confined to the bin! 😞 . With this one I used gluten free strong bread flour and aquafaba (chickpea water) as an egg substitute. It rose so well it came over the top of the bread machine and then burnt onto the heating element!😱😱.

Although it looked one of the best when finished, it was far too dense and not at all appetizing!

I think it might almost be time to call it a day. Although there is an Indian flour called Sorghum flour, that I haven't tried yet. I think I'll have one more attempt next week and maybe dispense with the bread machine, in favour of traditional methods, but then that is defeating the object of this quest , to make a hassle free, allergy free daily loaf of bread 🍞🤔

I've just heard from one of my PT clients that I've been training for a trek to Everest. She's just sent me a lovely testimonial all the way from Nepal! Well done Judith you've done all the hard work!💪💪💪🥇

“ This is the view from 5100m on Everest, this is where training with Iain took me to. From sea level Norfolk never climbed a hill let alone a mountain. I am a 60 year old woman and Iain worked diligently and patiently with me finding the right muscle groups and strength exercises that took me to the top feeling like it was a stroll in the park. The breathing tips also came in very handy. The time spent with Iain was one of the best investments I have ever made in myself”

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 and your resilience and determination to keep that 'Triangle of Motivation ' I'm always banging on about going!! You should be so proud !

If you're looking for inspiration to get yourself fitter on the outside or inside , let me know. I'm a fully qualified, very experienced and CIMSPA registered professional. You'll find me gym based at Long Stratton Leisure Centre or travelling round for home visits. I'm also a proud member of Norfolk Chambers of Commerce .

So... Loaf number 5 ( I had a week off last week! Had another go yesterday)

This one looked alright... Appeared to bake alright ... But it wasn't alright! 😂😂😂 Another one consigned to the bin.

With this one I experimented with a mix of gram flour, cassava and potato. It was far too salty (even for an Addisonian!)

Back to the bake off tent 💪 The search continues.....

Wheel Pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana) is a powerful backbend that energises both body and mind and a pose we practiced yesterday in classes.

The benefits of this powerful backbend are

Strong arms, legs, and spine
Opens the chest and lungs for deeper breathing
Believed to boost energy and reduce tiredness
Improves flexibility in the back and shoulders
Stimulates focus and confidence

As discussed in class last night, you have to be very careful to build up to the pose, always get guidance from a professional yoga teacher first. It was my last evening Core Conditioning and late Yoga class at Long Stratton Leisure Centre last night , the end of an era! So I'll leave you with that one to practice! I'll still be doing lunchtime Yoga classes though 🙂🙏 Namaste

Dancer Pose (Natarajasana): is a balancing and strengthening pose in Yoga

It improves balance and stability
Strengthens legs, ankles, and core
Opens the chest, shoulders, and hips
Enhances posture and body alignment
Boosts concentration and mental clarity Stretches the entire front body, especially the thighs and hip flexors
Encourages confidence and inner focus

Yoga has been around for many thousands of years, it is pure, not messed about with or dressed up.... It works.... Why would you want anything that isn't Yoga? 🤷 I've been practicing Yoga since I was a child, I can't imagine it not being part of my fitness for body and mind.

Join me on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Long Stratton Leisure Centre to find out what Yoga can do for you .

'Cardio' isn’t just about fitness , it’s about improving your health.

It's important for us all, but even more so in middle age when our cardio vascular health risks often increase.

Regular cardio vascular activity helps strengthen your heart, boosts energy, can support weight management, with the right nutrition and improves mood.

And it doesn’t have to be intense, it just needs to elevate your heart rate (within safe zones). It doesn't have to be running ... a brisk walk, a dance class, skipping, all count.

It helps to remember, your heart is a muscle that should be trained like the others. Look after your heart and It should look after you. ❤️

Gaining and keeping strength becomes increasingly important for women in midlife.

Hormonal changes can contribute to muscle loss and reduced bone density — but measured strength training exercises can help counteract this reduction.

Done safely and correctly, it will help maintain strength, balance and confidence in everyday movement.

Fitness doesn't have to be 'showy' or the latest Tik Tok or internet fad!
The humble squat is a fantastic functional exercise, great for us as we age, retaining strength and bone health. As always though, technique is key.
A squat that is performed well can strengthen your legs, glutes and core, improve your balance ( key as we age) and protect joints.
Poor technique, however, will place unnecessary strain on your knees and back.
That’s why learning the right form and progression is so important — especially in midlife or when returning to exercise.

The internet doesn't give all the answers. Consult with a properly qualified and registered Fitness professional to get the safest advice and the exercises that are right for you. 💪

More scientific research reflects what I've always said ..short bursts of exercise throughout the day can improve heart health, metabolism and overall fitness.
Even a few minutes of brisk walking, strength training or mobility work can stimulate your muscles, boost circulation and improve energy levels.
Fitness doesn’t have to mean long gym sessions — regular, consistent and meaningful, functional movement matters and makes a difference! 💪
