Hello ...... How are you? Hope you're having a lovely summer and all is well. I'm trying to look after myself a bit more lately, so I've been focussing on nutrient dense food, overnight fasting and better sleep. I've been increasing the amount of protein I eat and I've started to use weights more regularly too. Here's a little video whilst out walking Nacho, all about how overnight fasting and morning walks before breakfast are having such a positive effect. Do let me know if it's helpful and please share anything you're doing that is helping you. xxx

Hello
Hope you're feeling fab and doing really well. Just to let you know that I've popped a couple of playlists up on the channel. A 30 minute and 40 minute low-impact Zumba class that you can do at home if you like. Hope they are of value to you. huge hugs x

Hello and Happy and healthy New Year. I hope 2025 is your best year yet and it’s full of happy moments, adventure, joy and dancing of course. ✨
Sorry I haven’t posted any videos for a month or so. I’ve had a shoulder injury and I’ve been forced to rest up. Thankfully, it’s on the mend so I’ll be filming again very soon.
Thanks as always for your support and lovely comments. It means such a lot. Thank you. 🙏💛✨

Hello ..... Hope you're all feeling good and enjoying moving into Autumn. The weather is definitely cooler here in the UK but it's gorgeous all the same.
I love this time of year - long walks in the crisp cool weather and then cosying up in front of the fire in a lovely pub for some delicious homemade food. Can't beat it really.
I've now added a new Playlist to the channel - 'Happy Habits to Boost Your Health & Wellness'. As the days grow shorter and there's not so much sunshine, it's even more important to be kind to ourselves and look after our self-care. I'll be posting tips that work really well for me in the hope that they might help you too. Here's the first Happy Habit which is so ridiculously simple and blindingly obvious but it's so easy to neglect. Hope it helps. x

New Salsa just uploaded with a slightly different format as I’ve added a breakdown of the steps at the end of the video.
Hope it helps - do let me know if it does and I can do the same on future choreography videos. 🤩

Hello Hope you're good.
I just wanted to let you know that going forwards, I aim to upload additional content each week around 'Positive Ageing for Women over 50'. This will be on top of the Zumba Choreography content that I've been uploading over the last year.
So all being well, the plan is now to upload one new Choreography video each week along with extra content that I really hope you'll find useful.
I've just uploaded a 30 minute Arm Workout with Weights that is perfect for beginners. I'm always been asked for advice on how to tone our arms and working with weights is one of the very best things we can do especially as we grow older. So here it is .....
Thanks so much as always for being here. Big hugs xxx
