It’s the beginning of the April and guilty as charged that we always promise ourselves that we WILL be more motivated and we WILL get out and do something for ourselves this month.

Well you now have a list of things that YOU can do to get your bodies moving.
Try something new, activate different muscles, move your bodies in a way that it doesn’t feel like exercise, it is enjoyable.

So despite the extremely corny ‘Active April’ title, here is a little list of things you deserve to do for yourself.
They are all low cost, extremely fun and always are benefiting YOURSELF.

APRIL: 

Pilates Class at Gravity Dance School- Thursdays (24 March to 14 April):
7.15-8.15

Well here we go a free class- you have no excuse to give a Pilates class a go.
Take your friends, grab a mat and move your bodies in a way that is helping yourself and you can enjoy.
Words from gravity Dance School is- ‘Do something wonderful for yourself’.

Honestly there is no reason why you shouldn’t go and give it a go- Pilates is a low resistance form of exercise that tones and shapes your bodies. Plus the classes are for beginners and intermediates which is another reason to get moving.

Grab a friend and attend a class this month, I am sure it will have been on most peoples ‘to do’ lists.

All the details are here:
Pilates Class at Gravity Dance School

F45- Henley beach Launch- Saturday the 9th

7, 8 or 9 am sessions availble to purchase.

F45 is a new and improved way to move your body.
The studios are set up in circuit style and you are given 45 minutes to smash out an amazing workout.

They are high intensity workouts that push your body and mind whilst engaging in a team environment.

Some people find time limits with people pushing you to your extremes and making you word hard the most beneficial. F45 sounds like your answer. It is essentially your own workout however you have others encouraging you PLUS you have a structured program all ready to go.

Head down the grand opening of the Henley beach location. There will be a live DJ to create even more of an energetic atmosphere.

PERFECT way to spend your saturday morning!

Tickets can be purchased here:

Heirloom Weekend- Botanical Gardens: Saturday the 9th and Sunday the 10th
10-3 pm

This event did get me a little excited, and may have made me count down the days until the weekend.

How adorable is this idea:

A two day event that to celebrate all the fresh, natural and homegrown products that nourish our bodies (amazing).
The two days will consist of:

– Free workshops and information: Learn how to veggie garden in autumn, grow garlic and preserve your harvest, plus get info on becoming an urban beekeeper and raising chickens at home.

– Heirloom Masterclasses: (must be pre-booked: http://ow.ly/106DFd) – “Talking Heirlooms” on the history and importance of heirlooms; and “Heritage Apples” on selection, growing and rootstock selection for heritage apples, pears, nashis and quinces.
– We also have fresh produce for sale, PLUS a pumpkin competition (bring your own home grown pumpkin on the Sunday).

It will be the perfect event to bring your family with kids activities (10am-3pm) along with live music.

What a perfect way to spend your Saturday or Sunday.

Most of it is free but if you would like more details of the event head to their Facebook page:

Heirloom Weekend

Conquer the Summit (Mt Barker Fun Run)-  Sunday 10th April
8am 

Not a bad way to spend your family Sunday time.
You have two choices of how to battle the fun run; you can either Conquer the Summit (approx. 11km) or the shorter Family Fun Run which is only 5km.

Not to mention there is also prizes for each category, and if you’re anything like me you can’t skip the opportunity to enter competitions.

You will be feeling physically great PLUS the ‘Fun Run’ is also a Fundraising event for Operation Flinders (a real direction for young people at risk) therefore you can give yourself two pats on the back!

Here are all the details of this Sunday morning winner:

March Classes at Lululemon Athletica:

Need motivation, a confidence boost, an excuse to wear beautiful clothing whilst moving our bodies- Lululemon is the answer. 
Their mission statement is; ‘Creating components for people to live longer, healthier, fun lives’.
Well hey i’m sold- this is enough to put a smile on my face and get up and feeling determined to conquer all my fitness and wellbeing expeditions. 

The amazing store in the city located on James place has two classes you can attend weekly throughout March for FREE.

Could they be anymore supportive of all individuals out there to create a healthier life change? I think not- surround yourself in an environment that is uplifting and leave these classes wanting to make change or maintain your health goals.

Their classes are:

Tuesday 6:15-7:15pm
Henny Moody from Mbody with high intensity sweat class

Sunday 9:30-10:30 am
