When your in too much pain and all you want to do is exercise what do you do?
Get on a power plate of course! This machine vibrates at different frequencies chosen by the user and different time settings as well!
I use it to help tone my muscles, aid my balance but mainly to help with my chronic pain from my MS!
Yes it helps, just enough for me to be able to do exercise classes! It’s like thousands of tiny hands massaging my muscles! Ah, bliss!
Try it! You’ll never look back!
After a wonderful week with friends and family but not enough Yoga, I plan on doing the last one right now!….
“if you practice Yoga everyday it will change your life”
Im feeling especially proud of myself tonight for doing the best yoga yet and on a day when I have had the worst pain!
I had to change the time of my normal private 1-1 yoga lesson from midday to early evening, this being a particularly difficult time of the day for me because of my MS!
I totally smashed it though!
I’d like to say that it’s like there are no boundaries, but they are still there, my balance still tests me. Good job I manage to take control of my body before it hits the floor!
I know I’m getting better and stronger! I just need to ‘Let go’ completely, have faith and trust myself!
I love this journey!
I may not be the strongest
I may not be the fastest
But I’ll be damned if I’m not trying my hardest!
I may not be able to go to every exercise class I book, working hard in classes tests me the next day!
Hard choice but sometimes I just have to say to myself, I’m being kinder by letting my body rest, for now!
Some people may think it’s quitting, I know different!
HAPPY MS AWARENESS WEEK!
Yesterday I had a very productive day! Managed to get out in the garden 1st thing and gave it a quick spruce around, on form in pilates and then shopping after!
I’m so on it today!
Time for a rest before body combat class later! I’m not saying I’ll do all of it but being there is better than not! Right!
Yes I have MS, yes I do all of these things to the best of my ability because by doing these things I am looking after myself!
Happy MS awareness week!
Today marks the start of MS awareness week in the UK!
I started it at the weekend though!
What an amazing day I had on Saturday! 2 hrs Fight Klub workshop! Non stop punching, kicking, squatting, bopping & fun fun fun!
I would never have believed you if you’d have told me 2 years ago that I would be doing the things I do now!
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE TO ACHIEVE!
Today I did my first Yoga class and I absolutely loved it! Let me just take this in for a moment!
Yep! Proud!
I’ve wanted to try yoga ever since I started Pilates! My physio always said stick with Pilates, keep the movements fluid. Why!!! I loved it!
Yes, definitely proud!
I stepped out of the box, out of my comfort zone, made the move, did something entirely different to my normal!
I have to say I loved it that much that I booked another 5 sessions!
Thank you Louise for your patience with me & for agreeing to not only have a selfie with Myles the MS-UK mascot but to agreeing to take progress pictures of me for the next 5 (or more!) sessions!
Thank you to Rach for passing Louise’s details on to me as well!
And thank you to everyone in my life for believing in me enough for me to believe in myself!
I have now copied this speech as it’ll do nicely should I ever win an Oscar! ;)😂😂😂
Brilliant Fight Klub last night with Hannah Bailey!
Had this T-shirt with me so whilst I finished the class early as usual to try my best to get my temperature down, I thought it most appropriate to hold this top up during the gruelling abs section!
Everyone seemed to appreciate it 😄
Btw, I wish I could take part in the abs section but I have to use that time to cool down!
My internal thermometer is fooked thanks to my MS! When I over heat it triggers all of my symptoms, meaning I can hardly walk, balance, see, hear, talk, oh the list goes on!
At least once my temperature is at a safe level my symptoms subside and I just walk and talk like I’m pissed!
I’m so pleased I’ve found something that helps to keep me cool!
*the t-shirt doesn’t keep me cool, just to clear that up! It’s a cloth that is extremely cold when wet! For those that attend fight klub or any other cardio classes I attend, it’s that pink cloth I always have either around my neck or over my head like a nun! 😂😜*
I LOVE FIGHT KLUB!

DON’T GIVE UP!
One of the t-shirts I bought today TWO sizes smaller than this time last year!
I think I could actually go another size smaller… THREE sizes smaller than this time last year! Need my personal clothes shopper ‘DebbieRahRah’ to give me here advise before I risk going down to a size 14!
*It’s been 6 years since I was that size! My pre MS diagnosis size!*
Thank you to every one that has supported me & continues to support me on this physically & mentally challenging fitness journey that I’m on!
It doesn’t feel like it or look like it after a lot of the exercise classes I do, especially cardio, that’s the hardest, but I am loving the new energy I have and mostly the new friends we have!
