We made it through another year 🙏🏼

I will now be closed for the festive period. I’ll be back in action, hands rested, elbows sharpened, with more ideas up my sleeve from Monday 6th January.

Make sure you don’t miss out, start the New Year off right. Bookings can be made via the website (link in bio)

•••

I’d just like to be a sap and say, I’m so grateful for my clients continued support and love being able to help make a difference to peoples health daily. Although it’s hard running a business on your own I absolutely wouldn’t have it any other way.

So thankyou to everyone who chooses to come and see me. You make it all worth it 🫶🏽

I’m looking forward to another busy year ahead and I hope I can continue to melt those niggles away and keep you on top of your game.

Wishing you all a magical Christmas and a happy, healthy and pain free New Year! 💫

2025, I’m ready for you!

I couldn’t think of a more appropriate time to discuss this hot topic HYDRATION! 🌞

Slide on 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽

There are lots of races coming up over the summer and with RTR and the Mac100 this weekend be sure to take a read…. of the simple stuff! 💦💧

Part 1 – Hydration & Electrolytes

Did you know you can drink water and still be dehydrated?

Most of us think that that to be hydrated is to just drink water, but in fact we must take on water nutrients known as electrolytes to feel fully hydrated. Many may know of these already in the health & fitness world. And I would say at a guess the majority of people aren’t drinking enough! Sometimes we reach for food when really all we need is water. Keep reading….

So, what are Electrolytes?

Simply, these Electrolytes are minerals in your blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge. They are very important in regulating the amount of water in your body which is essential for many bodily functions. Key functions such as keeping the body running by sending electric impulses to cells in your nerves and muscles, managing your blood pressure and repairing damaged tissue.

When we drink water it primarily hydrates you but it doesn’t always contain electrolytes; sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium. These carry an electric charge when dissolved in water.

When dehydrated you may feel symptoms such as: headaches, dizziness, fast or abnormal heart rate, confusion, irritability, lethargy.

Electrolytes are particularly important when you are dehydrated due to exercise, hot weather and illness. We need to replenish these minerals when they are lost and that is when our bodies will feel fully hydrated.

We have many local shops that stock different brands, which can be sourced from (to name a few) .jsy and more….

Now the summer has finally shown up and we’re all soaking in the rich vitamin D, remember to STAY HYDRATED

Part 2, coming next week - Burnout & Chronic Stress drains body’s essential mineral levels.

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 👉🏽

Here’s a throwback to March - who’s heard of the Cape Epic MTB race….? Well let me tell you a brief summary.

The Cape Epic, also known as the Absa Cape Epic, is a legendary mountain bike race in South Africa. It’s an eight-day adventure where teams of two tackle around 700 kilometers of rugged trails, steep climbs approx 49,000ft, and beautiful landscapes in the Western Cape. Riders face everything from rocky paths to technical singletracks, making it a true test of endurance and teamwork.

A race like no other.

I had the pleasure of helping these two super athletes during their preparation for this big event.

Ben & Barclay put everything into their training and set off raring to go! Unfortunately sometimes races don’t go to plan. Ben sadly ended up getting injured so could no longer continue. But he was there to provide the support for his team mate Barclay. And he smashed it!

The pictures say it all 🤩

It’s not only just about race day, the effort is put in way before with all the hard training just to get there. So massive kudos to these chaps 👏🏼

Please, if you have time, read John’s story! This guy right here is an absolute machine despite what he has been through and had to overcome.

He inspires me everyday! With the true grit, discipline and strong mindset he takes on pretty much any challenge! After already completing the Double Top Ultra and Road The Rock Ultra earlier this year, this last race of 2023 will get him his grand slam buckle for completing all 3!

Tomorrow, John and some other of our friends will be heading out at 8pm to start the C.I. 100KM race out on the roads and trails in the dark! We all know the dangerous conditions there will be.

Hopefully his pre race massage helps him feel ready to tackle this beast! It’s not going to be easy!

Let’s goooooo 💪🏼🌟🏃🏽‍♂️
Proud of you! John Carpenter
