Bellissima

During my last visit to my amazing physio, she made it perfectly clear, that, for whatever reason, I should not make future appointments.  I have increased my range of motion during the past three years of sessions.  I am maintaining through exercise.  I am scared stiff of dissolving back into the pain and immobility of a few short years ago.  Jan tells me that maybe my physio doesn't want to take any more of my money but I'd be quite happy to hand it over for the maintenance and the peace of mind each session brings me.

Still, faced with the fact that I can't have physio anymore, I did some research.  My favourite trainer in the world, the amazing Ashley Borden, recommends using a rebounder for muscle, joint and lymphatic health.  Rebounding, (on a mini trampoline,) is what Astronauts use to regain bone and muscle density, apparently. 

The brand Du jour is Bellicon and you know that I'm a sucker for a good sales pitch.  Well, Bellicon, (German excellence,) is recommended by Ashley, who I trust, and so, I did the math, (how many physio sessions would pay for the Bellicon,) and then I ordered. 

I'm six weeks in and the Bellicon, together with my Fitbit, is spurring me on to move and be active. 

Instead of sitting on my pre loved sofa, (previously owned by you prior to NZ,) watching TV in the evening, I now watch the TV whilst lightly jogging on my Bellicon. 

So, just 6 weeks later, I've lost 3lbs by doing nothing else other than lightly jogging when I would have been sitting.  I've gained 7lbs since Christmas last year, which I desperately want to get rid of and I know, that movement is the key.  I walk to and from the car for work, I go for a long walk on lunch and the rest of my 11 miles per day is clocked up on my Bellicon.

It's supposed to get rid of cellulite so I'll let you know about that one, early days yet ;)

Love you, I'll be back soon x
