Welcome to the Move Blog

The deep freeze is on its way. With misty mornings, dark evenings and frost-fringed gardens already creeping into our lives, it's time to revamp your winter gear. Spruce up your activewear wardrobe for the colder months!

When it comes to fitness, there are two types of people: those who embrace the long hot days of summer, and are motivated by upcoming summer holidays to explore new fitness activities. And those who train the whole year round, come rain or snow, keeping their fitness as a long-term health investment.

As the wind takes on a sharper temperature, we’re all bound to be stricken with a snotty cold or feverish flu at some point in the coming months. Getting sick is the worst, especially when it feels like it’s putting you out of action.

So the weather’s turned and the cooler temperature are descending. When the frost starts creeping into our dark mornings and our homeward bound commutes become pretty chilly, workouts can feel tougher to accomplish. 

Smartphones might be great for scrolling Instagram, getting updates from an overly-enthusiastic group chat, tweeting bored updates and getting the ultimate #GymSelfie… but did you know that your phone apps can improve your health?

When you get active, you always need a killer soundtrack to help you keep motivated, give you rhythm and get you AMPED. Not to mention it can help distract you when you really start to feel the BURN. When your fave beat drops, you can really focus and smash your workout.

Have you ever struggled to stick to your exercise regime? Yeah, so have we. Don't worry - it's absolutely normal to have highs and lows with your workout routines, especially if you previously led quite a sedentary lifestyle.

The saying goes that a dog is a man’s best friend… and not only can they be your best friend, but they can also be a great workout buddy! Have you ever wondered about the health benefits of having a dog in your life?

If only there were more hours in the day! We’re all super keen to squeeze as much as we can from life, but the days can sometimes slip away from us... and before you know it, the sun’s down and your To Do list is still hanging over you.
