After a stressful end to 2021, I wanted to make my health a priority in 2022, not just my physical, but my mental and emotional health too. I will put my hands up and admit that things haven’t gone to plan so far, but I am determined to work on myself, so I’m starting again for March!
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I’ve been attending pole fitness classes since the middle of last year, and I absolutely love my weekly sessions with my patient and helpful teacher Becca.
In January, I bought myself a pole to go up at home, so that I can practise in between sessions and work on my flexibility and strength. I was sent across a matching set from dancewear brand Bloch, which is so comfortable and really flattering to wear when I’m in the class and practising at home. The patterns and colours are beautiful, and I had a lot of compliments when I first wore it to class.
As well as working out regularly, I find that getting the right amount of sleep makes all the difference when it comes to my wellbeing. This silk pillowcase from Calidad Home is perfect for resting my head back on at the end of a long day, and it keeps me cool throughout the night – plus my hair is tangle free!
Talking of sleep, this 28 day sleep programme from Complete Me is amazing if you are struggling and need a little helping hand. As well as a fantastic supplement, the programme includes bath salts, a pillow spray, organic chamomile tea and a sleep journal to fill in.
If you’re on a health kick yourself, I can’t recommend Dare’s product range enough. They have a selection of vegan shakes to choose from, in different flavours, and help to maintain your metabolism and motivate you whilst you exercise. I love the shake bottle too – so handy!
I travel around quite a bit as part of my job, and I can be on my feet a lot without stopping for food during shoot days. Having a healthy snack, like these nutritional protein bars, which will keep you going throughout the day, is the best way to avoid snacking on junk food on the way back home, or chomping on a chocolate bar when you have a spare minute.
These resistance hip bands from Amonax are great for resistance training. I love the colourful shades they come in, brightening up a morning workout.
Amonax also sent across their home workout set, which includes an ab trainer and push up handles, which will make all the difference to my morning home workouts! The set is really lightweight but included everything you need, at an affordable price.
Although it’s taken me a little longer than anticipated to get myself motivated, I’m looking forward to turning my perspective around when it comes to my health and fitness. With a little help from these products, I’m on my way to becoming the best version of myself.
