A simple wish to all my clients, past and present and to all my readers. Enjoy the Festive Season in the best way possible. Use your sport, activities and abilities to your advantage. If you are fortunate enough to lead an active life, this time of year can be a bit difficult and contrary. There are expectations to do things you might not usually or to be in situations that aren’t your first choice. These are dressed up as relaxing when you find them anything but. Try to see them from the perspective of others and know that you can make a difference to someone’s day by joining in.

Where you can take advantage of quiet parks, roads, countryside and even gyms and swimming pools to slip away for a refresher activity session. Managing to get a 20-30 minute walk, jog, gym work out can make all the difference. Try not to be hard on yourself if the session or activity is not as long, as hard, or simply, as planned.
