Find joy in the little things xx

Today in my video I mentioned Weary Willie. Today is Weary Willie Day and for those of you who don't know (and why would you) Weary Willie was the stage persona of clown and entertainer Emmett Kelly. Emmett was inspired to try and help people cope with the great hardships being experienced as a result of the Great Depression of the 1930s, and his sad-faced, hobo clown resonated with people with his mix of pathos and humour. Weary Willie wanted people to see that even in difficult times it's possible to find some joy.

Life is rarely simple and easy, but if we reflect on how humour can help us cope we can often also find some joy. It won't solve our problems, and I would never make light of the tragedies people around the world are going through, but sometimes a glimpse of humour and joy can make even the difficult times just a little bit more bearable.

Resistance training can help improve our mood and our sleep as well as increasing our sense of achievement and reducing stress. Seems like a no-brainer to me!

Comment RESISTANCE below and I will send you details on how to join or visit the website now.

Resistance training (aka weight training) increases our muscle mass and bone density and helps prevent a decline in strength as we age.

It's also great for helping to reduce body fat and decrease the risk of heart disease, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

It does not make us look pumped up and 'hench', but it will help to make us look toned and fit.

The Lift Lean VIP Fitness Club is here to help you achieve your fitness, weight management and wellness goals. If you want to do resistance training in a safe and controlled environment join us and be a founder member as we launch our new fitness programmes for 2025. The VIP Fitness Club gives you access to all our classes - face to face and online - so you can do your workout your way and at a time that suits you.

Cardio fitness is so good for our mental wellness - it releases those 'feel-good' hormones and boosts our energy levels.

It doesn't have to be something you dread doing - a brisk walk in the sunshine, a morning swim or one of our online classes in our brand new Lift Lean VIP Fitness Club each day will soon bring you benefits and leave you feeling really pleased with yourself!

I'll post the link to join in the comments below - and if you use code VIP24 by 2nd December you'll get £10 off your first month's membership. Let's go!

Cardio exercise - love it or hate it - is at the heart of everything you do.

You know what I'm talking about - that exercise class that gets you hot, sweaty and red in the face (that's me!), or that boring half hour on the treadmill in the gym 🥵.

It's uncomfortable, it's really hard to push yourself to do it but it's absolutely vital to our health and wellbeing.

A regular cardio fitness routine makes it easier to stick to your overall fitness programme and that's what our Lift Lean VIP Fitness Club is here to help with. Add low impact, high energy classes like Walk-It Fit, or join in with some bonkers bonus classes like Fitball Fitness or PHIT (Pilates based strength and cardio fitness) in our fantastic new online timetable and bring your fitness back to its best.

I will post the link to join in the comments below and if you use code VIP24 by 2nd December you'll get £10 off your first month's membership.
