Over to you Rosemarie

 

1. What motivated you to start your health and fitness journey with Key to Life?


I first joined the Body blitz classes 6 years ago to start my fitness journey, then joined Pilates to add in some balance and improve my flexibility. 


2. What is it that keeps you attending your Key To Life sessions on a regular basis?


I have continued with Pilates throughout the years, really enjoying the small group classes that are easily accessible with supportive instructors.


 3. What is your favourite Key to Life Training session and why?


Pilates and the studio body blitz both offer a great mix of cardio and strength work. 


My favourite exercise in Pilates is the variety of routines focusing on balance. 


4. What is your biggest accomplishment you have achieved during your time with us at Key to Life?

 

Greater awareness of my overall health and ways to strengthen core muscles. Improving general flexibility has helped throughout day to day life and work.

It’s definitely worth it.


The support from instructors and members motivates you to keep going and makes it enjoyable.

Breathing is a built‑in stress‑management system that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.

This beef mince and pumpkin protein dinner bake ticks all the nutritious (and delicious) boxes for a midweek dinner. It’s a bowl of comfort that’s brimming with flavour. A lighter, brighter lasagne, this bake can also be made gluten free if you use gluten-free lasagne sheets.
