Just as exercise plays a vital role in our health, so does a good night’s sleep. But how many of you get a solid 8-hour uninterrupted sleep? ​

Sleep plays such a vital role in cellular repair, recovery from injury, and overall wellbeing. Those who suffer from poor sleep may not be aware that it can have a profound impact on both physical health and mental wellbeing. ​

During the session, Rose will be sharing practical ways to help people shift their brain activity at night so they can more easily drop into deep sleep, along with simple breathing techniques (including how to breathe through the mouth at night) to help reduce snoring, sleep apnoea, and frequent waking. We'll cover sleep hygiene, caffeine cutoff points, meal timings, cold water immersion, shower temperature pre-bed, mouth taping and breathing.

And when it comes to burning calories, gardening will certainly help. Just spending half an hour digging and shovelling can burn 250 calories, whilst mowing the lawn, (as long as you are not sitting down), can burn 195 calories.
​
Try and take every opportunity to exert more calories by increasing your physical activity, now that the nights are drawing out, walk briskly for 30 mins instead of watching TV, you could burn an extra 150 calories!
By burning an extra 3500 calories per week than normal, you can lose one pound a week. Remember that’s only 500 calories per day.

Try these stretches over the coming weeks to help ease you into summer (click on the link)!

If any of these exercises causes pain, contact one of our team for further advice and treatment. Do not leave it to go away on its own, the earlier the treatment is carried out the better. You should exercise and keep fit so that you can enjoy your gardening and other leisure activities, rather than using your gardening as an exercise to keep fit.
