Why you should always try something once!

THIS is called 'anti-gravity yoga'... Now it's not really yoga, although you do replicate a downward dog with the hammock bunched up and gathered on your hips. So imagine you are going into the inverted V position but then you hook your legs up so you are hanging. I didn't get that picture, what you see below is 'the vampire'. It's brilliant although challenging. I went to The Fitness Society in. Berkhamsted who have a Tuesday night class at 5pm. The instructor did say with some of the moves that it might feel like a deep tissue massage and i can tell you that my hip bones and back did feel bruised for a few days after BUT saying that it was a remarkable experience. You feel like you're in a cocoon in the hammock, you know at the end of a yoga class and you have a few moments of shut eye, this felt like sleeping on a boat which is a favourite place of mine to sleep. Anti- gravity yoga us brilliant for conditioning, we did jumping some lunges and squats using the hammock to pull us up. If y've ever used a TRX, you'll love this - or if you just want to try something different in your exercise routine. Do it! www.thefitnesssociety.com

Then there was this.. All i need to say is Airkix in Milton Keynes is amazing, if you want to put yourself out of your comfort zone and feel like you can fly. If you don't mind a bit of dribble running from your mouth as you won't be able to stop smiling it's such fun and if you don't mind wearing a boiler suit. Have a look at www.airkix.com for more info.
