Feel Good Outdoor Fitness
We like helping clients in their forties at FastTrack Fit Camp. We find that their challenges are usually time (I don’t have enough!) and mindset (I’m not fit enough!) Jill is no exception and has overcome both brilliantly to her benefit. Why did you join FastTrack Fit Camp? I need to have accountability when it […]
Getting fit in your forties won’t be the same as it was in your twenties. For Vicky getting fit had a very definite goal – read more to find out what it was and why she trains with us at the Warfield Fit Camp. Why did you join FastTrack Fit Camp? After having two children […]
Mental health is the catchphrase of the decade. The rise in it’s use in the press and media is significant and there’s much more awareness about ‘mental health’ generally. But what does this mean for each of us as we move through the different life stages? I know for sure that my mental health requirements […]
Our Waste Not Wednesday posts are derived from our own experience. From having one of those days when you create a masterpiece of a meal from the odds and ends of the cupboards knowing that it’s a one hit wonder, never to be tasted again. This week I thought I’d share how you can avoid […]
Getting fit at 60 isn’t what it used to be. When I was a newly qualified aerobics instructor in 2002 the very first regular class I was offered was the ‘Nifty Fifties‘ aerobics at my local community gym. I turned up nervously and saw a sea of ladies, who were definitely older than 50, and […]
This month I’ve been thinking about the three key decade age groups that we help at FastTrack Fit Camp. We’re broadly helping people through the 40 to 60 age groups. And, despite the age gap, many are in the same predicament. They are part of the Sandwich Generation. Many of our campers have children who […]
With food waste being the third largest contributor to global warming it seems appropriate to manage our food use and consumption as wisely as possible. Not only will we do our bit, but it will also save you some money and provide the family with something to talk about…”you did what with the spinach??!”This week […]
Shall we talk about the heat? I know, you know it’s been hot and so I’ll just refer to the fact that we’ve been working on keeping habits in place this week, not breaking records. One of my favourite sayings is about consistency over perfection. If we can remember this then the wheels of health, […]
This is a fabulously quick and easy way to use up half bags of spinach leaves or rocket, fresh herbs and kale leaves or any green leafy stalks that you may not use ordinarily (think cauliflower, broccoli or kale). When using the stalks, quickly blanch them in boiling water for about 3 minutes before plunging […]
It’s one of those weeks when Friday with Heidi is a big fat lie. It’s Tuesday and I am starting the process now because, after Wednesday night, I am not here for a few days. So less of a week’s view, more of of snapshot of the week. Last night I (should have) arrived in […]
What a flurry of a week. Since we last spoke our daughter has returned from Australia for good as she heads off into 4 years of education to be a midwife. This has been all very quickly decided and acted upon, so we now have a house guest! I also seem to have had a […]
How quickly one forgets. As I crossed the finish line in Bridport last week at the Jurassic Coast Challenge, I said to my trusty supporters, “I don’t need to do that again”. It’s not one week on and I am already thinking that it wasn’t really so bad and that maybe I would do it […]
We love our BeeBombs here at FastTrack Fit Camp!We love that they are fully British, completely green and damn easy to use!However there are a bunch of less than environmentally friendly BeeBomb products on the market that may appear to be cheaper but are of great concern to our fragile environment. Heather Lake is a Plant […]
The spaces we commute, play and commune in are as important for our mental health and well-being as our homes. If we get irritated by a messy living room or bedroom, chances are we are going to be frustrated and irritated by piles of litter, broken road signs and fly tipping in our community. At […]
Happy Friday to you! I hope the short week has served you well? As you read this I’ll be in my final throes of prepping and loading my car for our first FastTrack Fit Camp Weekender of the year. Today I am off to Combe Martin in North Devon for a second year running. Debbie, […]
This week’s Friday with Heidi comes to you with lots of hope that you will have the weekend you desire. Many of you will have the 4 days off, and I hope you use them in a way that allows you to skip back to work well rested on Tuesday. If you are working (me […]
This week has been filled with many lovely things. From a taster for a new community project idea that landed in my brain a few weeks ago, to a meeting on the back of this event to bring it to reality, to making cakes for friends, choosing bespoke yoga pants fabric that is just lush […]
Ten tips from Wokingham Boot Campers I hope you’ve had a good week, acclimatised to the new temperature and are ready to take the final month of the year by storm? No? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one! How many times do we put pressure on ourselves to do things that we think will […]
Last Friday I attended a meeting at Bisham Abbey that was hosted by Get Berkshire Active. This is a sports partnership working on promoting
