Hello, thank you for visiting. 

Hi, before you read about me or delve into what's on offer, due to the Covid-19 pandemic fitness is very different at the moment with an amount of what is on offer being online. I hope to get some real classes running in  the New Year. In the meantime check the online store (click) or my facebook page for online workouts.

A little bit about me..............
​I'm Lisa, a qualified fitness instructor, advanced clinical weight loss practitioner and personal trainer, established since 2001. My love for fitness came from 10 years of competitive training as a gymnast in my formative years. I now teach a variety of exercise fitness and mind body classes in Stamford, Spalding, Pinchbeck & Gosberton including aerobics, step, Pilates, legs bums & tums, abs, Hatha yoga and my own blend, Entwine Yoga & Pilates. Some of these are currently suspended due the Covid-19.

​Each class offers many different benefits giving you the opportunity to improve your strength, endurance, co-ordination, flexibility, health, wellbeing and much more, whilst having fun and making new friends.  All levels of fitness are catered for from the less than healthy to the ultra fit and no matter what age you are I can help you become fitter and healthier.
​
If you prefer to train on a one to one basis then personal training is for you and can be enjoyed at your home or outdoors in the Spalding area!  Whether your goal is fat loss or improving your fitness levels I will create a programme for you and help you follow it so that you can lose weight and gain a healthier, fitter body. One to one Pilates or yoga sessions are available too and I can help you with personal development within these practices.

I also offer online programs such as downloadable workouts and nutrition plans. Also take a look at my free videos!

My aim is to help you achieve your health and fitness goals, I want you to become the person you want to be!

Lastly, vouchers can be purchased and I can be booked to lead a session at a Hen party, company event or birthday gathering.

I look forward to working with you,
Lisa

November Newsletter
How are you? October ended with a clanger didn't it?
I had the newsletter all ready to send out, but I've had to scrap version one in most part for this version. It's clear that from 1 second past midnight Thursday 5th November we will be in lockdown again. Frustrating as it is and whether we believe it's necessary or not, it's happening. This time, unlike last time when I struggled to shift some of my business online, I feel more upbeat. There will be no meltdown this lockdown!

The last few weeks I've expressed to many people that we need to be thankful for what we have, rather than what we don't have. We need to focus on what we can do over what we can't do. We need to see the light instead of dwelling in the dark. If you constantly hear negativity in your head, your mind will dissolve in it. Change the mantra and find a positive in every negative.
Your mental health depends on it. 

This lockdown isn't taking us into to brighter days of spring and summer, instead we move into the shorter, colder days of the winter, so please make sure you are taking care of yourself and loved ones. For some the winter is bad enough for their mental health without the stress of a second lockdown, so look out for friends, family and neighbours. Send a message, make a call, write a letter, say hello to the person you pass on your daily walk, exchange a few words with them, maybe you might be the only person they connect with that day. It might be the only person you connect with that day too. 

A simple daily walk can make a huge difference to how you  feel, so if you've lapsed, take it up again. The light of the day is reduced now so try to get out in your lunchtime for a walk if you work during the day. Vitamin D is so important for our overall health and with an added supplement, the light we get during a daily walk can give us a boost and keep our spirits up.

If you take supplements or are considering it, when taking VitD3 combine it with VitK2, both ensure calcium gets to the bones. VitD is the happy hormone, make sure you get yours.
Omega 3 is fabulous for all year round use and fundamental for winter health. It's benefits are vast including brain function, concentration, joint support, reduces inflammation, supports heart health and even helps with fat loss to list a few. I'm using a brilliant brand, if you're interested in knowing more about the Omega 3 I take let me know. Additionally, don't forget your B vitamins, zinc and magnesium too.
Remember supplements should be taken to supplement a good balanced diet and are not meant to substitute a bad diet. Eat your greens!

Some of you receiving this newsletter may not have joined me online or in person since March, so let me know how you are, it would be good to catch up. Also, anyone with any ideas or requests for the coming weeks let me know what they are. My business for November must go back to being delivered through online avenues and I want to serve as many of you as possible. Please let me know what you want, when you want it, how you want it, live or recorded, and on which online platform.

Now we come to exercise, another important factor for overall health, a daily walk and a little bit of Pilates or yoga can do wonders for both body and mind. As can a run or something a bit more energetic. I prefer not to run, but I do love to work with weights and do a bit of cardio to raise the heart rate!
Here's what's happening for November....

Stamford
Pop Up LBT on the Playground at Bluecoat School is running 2nd and 4th Nov weather permitting.

There is a What's App group to join for notices for these classes, please let me know your mobile number if you wish to join it. 
The classes are £5 paid in advance, non refundable.
Now the weather is colder and it is dark, please wear layers for the playground sessions to keep warm. Hats and gloves are great for maintaining body temperature too. 
I've listened to feedback regarding  Zoom and I've been taking steps to improve the music experience etc.
From 9th Nov - Mon and Wed LBT classes will be on Zoom and open to absolutely everyone!

Personal Training
I might not have survived the first lockdown without the PT work, it truly helped me stay afloat. Unfortunately, from Thursday 5th Nov sessions will be online again. I hope all PT clients might be able to do their sessions on Zoom or Messenger or Google Teams (new one for me) or any other platform. If you'd like more information about one to one PT online let me know.
