Are your Supplements a Complete Waste of Money?

As part of my nutritional programmes, I usually recommend a course of supplements dosed at a therapeutic level for a 3,6 or 12 month duration (depending on the severity of the health concern). Often I get clients coming in for their first consult with carrier bags worth of store bought Vitamin C, multis, chromium and the like. They show resistance to purchasing my supplements when they can see that their store bought supplements are usually half the price. Whilst it is great to see that my clients have realised the importance of supplementation, I often need to explain that these chosen supplements are a waste of money and could well be a risk to their health.

Press Release: New Fitness Schedule for Bahrain

Having finally caught up with sleep lost from our wedding week, I am still struggling to get back into the swing of things back here in Bahrain! That's the trouble with going away, you get into holiday mode and need a big kick up the proverbial to get yourself going again. Plus the fact; I am out of my routine of exercising and haven't had to cook anything for the last month so find myself resorting to anything quick and easy to cook for my new husband which usually means not necessarily healthy!

Fortunately, I have a new schedule set up which is ready to start mid week. I will be teaching at the new Fitness First Plus gym located at Bahrain World Trade Center. Promised to be one of the latest and most up to date fitness locations of Bahrain; Fitness First Plus has already an excellent reputation in Asia and has taken over Dubai by storm.

Talking of which :-) here are the classes I will be teaching at Fitness First:

Sundays-
9am-10am - RPM (Indoor Cycling)
10am-11am - Body Balance (mixture of Tai Chi, Yoga, pilates)
6.30pm-7.30pm- Body Balance

Tuesdays-
7pm-8pm- Body Balance

Wednesdays -
9am-10am- RPM
10am-11am- Body Pump
11am-12pm - Body Balance

Thursdays-
10am 11am- Body Pump
11am-12pm- Body Balance

 

Hope to see you there!

Amazing Wedding Day Memories

Wow, what memories, a Wedding that some would say 'perfect'! well me anyway ;-). The day was just what we had hoped for and in fact the week with both parents, family and friends was SO much fun!
More importantly, I achieved my goal of feeling great and in tip top shape to fit my dress. No, I don't know what I weighed but I do know that all the exercise, eating right, beauty regimes, early nights, eating right for my type paid off and I felt like a true bride. Even though at times I was stressed/excited/nervous/sometimes paranoid and acting a true 'Bridezilla', it all fell into place on the actual day and the Wedding Day Shape Up programme worked wonders for me. (I have to say that it's my programme, but I honestly felt a million dollars)
Here I am with my brother who bravely wore his kilt on a hot sunny day in Bahrain! And here I am below with my husband, Robert at the Novotel Al Dana Resort Bahrain (I'll get some bigger prints soon!):
