Our last day in January was a phenomenal success:

In an email from Val – attended seminar Jan 2011

“By the way I have lost over a stone and gone down at least

1 dress size, some smaller clothes fit and I was bulging out of

the bigger size! People are starting to notice,

even my 14 yr old students who would not notice if a gorilla

walked into the classroom! It’s amazing!”



We still have places available for our next seminar on Saturday March 5th.

Mel Healy, Sports Therapist and Head of Rehabilitation at Fine Fettle Multi healthcare, and Usha Christmas Sports Therapist at Fine Fettle multi-healthcare have been working hard through all types of weather with Vernon Kay and his American Football Challenge.  Mel and Usha provided training advice and injury care for over 40 players over the last couple of months.

The ITV 2 programme which goes out this week on Wednesday 16th February followed Vernon Kay and his former junior American Football teammates reliving their dreams of playing American Football.  However they were not as young and some as fit as they used to be and Usha and Mel had their work cut out getting them up to the grade and keeping them fit to play.

The programme shows them training and their finale of a game against Birmingham University Team where the guys put up a valiant fight and you will watch to see the outcome!!

As well as working at Fine Fettle Usha Christmas is the head trainer for the London Cobras American Football team and Mel Healy is the head trainer for the GB Lions  and London Olympians American Football teams.  Both highly qualified in their field of training and injury support and rehabilitation.

DIETS DONT WORK!

Well we’re a few days into the beginning of a brand new year and it’s more than likely you have made some New Year Resolutions –let me guess –“This is the year I’m going to lose weight and get fit?” How many times have you made these same resolutions and how long did you last?


Make 2011 the year that you finally change your ways, make this the year that you stop dieting for good because take it from me DIETS DON’T WORK! It’s not about dieting –that means deprivation usually accompanied by large helpings of guilt –been there before, recognise those negative feelings?

Make 2011 the year that you optimise your health instead and by that I mean waking up every morning full of energy, going through the day with a clear mind, mentally sharp, good concentration and with no energy dips or cravings. Feeling young physically and mentally and people commenting on how well you look! Doesn’t that sound a more positive approach?

Fine fettle’s Nutritional Therapist, Helen Williams and Kim Raine who runs Fine fettle’s boot camps have joined forces to set up Balanced Fat Loss Seminars. Our aim is to help you to achieve optimal health in 2011 –and the brilliant side effect of putting all our advice into practice is that as well as achieving optimal health you’ll lose weight as well!

If you go to our website www.surreyfatloss.com you can download a free copy of Secrets to Easy Fat Loss

We’ve also organised a 1 day seminar on Saturday January 15th at the beautiful Manor House Hotel, Newlands Corner, Guildford. This day long event is a chance to get 2011 off to a flying start, the opportunity to find out the TRUTH about fat loss and learn the techniques and strategies that WORK, from some of the industry’s top professionals. Visit our website for full details and to book a place.

If you want more information on the seminar or on seeking nutritional guidance in the forthcoming year please contact me –I offer a free 15 minute no obligation consultation either by telephone, e-mail or you can call into the clinic for an informal chat.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and nutritious 2011

Regards

Helen

SNOW DAY!!

Juts thought I should blog my day so far...Lets just say a day in the life of fine fettle has been different.

Started my day with a fabulous run over Bookham Common.  The snow was new and I was the first to spoil it with my footmarks.  Life was good and the sun trying to peek through....

Home and showered now should I take the car?  Decided I would walk so off I went through Fetcham avoiding kids on sledges.  Came across the first car only 5 minutes into my trek so got splattered with snow pushing a poor lady who could not get up her road.  Turned out she had been trying to get home all night, slept in the car and was dug out this am.  We managed to push her car into a local halls car park and she finished the rest of the journey on foot. 

I carried on out of Fetcham and into Bookham and again found someone trying to get into their drive, 5 kids with sledges in tow and me again pushed for all we were worth and safely go the car to rest in the drive.

45 minutes later, faster than I had managed to drive home the night before I arrived at Fine Fettle and thanked god I had the foresight to leave heaters on.  No time to waste I then spent 20 minutes going through calls from clients who needed to cancel and rearrange.  Not our best week for patient numbers this week!!!

Next I set to with the snow outside out door.  We have a slight slope to our entrance porch and it was starting to get icy so out with my new shovel to shift the ice that lay outside....It was fantastic and any fears I may get cold soon vanished as I built up quite a sweat to move the ice.  Pleased with my work I then gritted the floor.  Made me laugh when one old man asked if I was going to do the rest of the high street and why was it not done yesterday!! He was very aggressive until I informed him I didn't work for the council to which he then changed his tune and decided it was disgraceful that I was having to do it....Anyway I helped him across the road and left him mumbling his angst along the high street.

I then sat and watched the world pass Fine Fettles door and many people pushing cars out of the top of the high street.  Such great community spirit.  I then watched in horror to see that I had just spoilt the fun of all the local kids who instead of being pulled by Mum on their sled past our door now had to jump off as i had removed it all!!  One kid was most disgusted and glared at me through the door!!!

Two patients did make it in today so treated them, although I was wearing my jeans, 3 jumpers, leggings and socks.  My wellies were one step too far.  They had a laugh at my professional persona being thrown out the door!! 

So now all is quiet and I am sure it will be now all week.  Lets hope Saturday is snow free as we now have a very busy day with all the rearranged appointments!! PLEASE LET THE SNOW GO!!

One last thing I now have to do and this is probably the hardest...I am going to shut up early and meet all the other fellow "snow day" locals at the Anchor pub on my walk home.  Hope to get to the Bell too on my way home....so maybe the snow ain't so bad!!

Team Fine Fettle - Three Mole Hills

Team Fine Fettle are just getting their thermals out for our trip to Denbies on Sunday to support the Three Mole Hill runners.  This race includes three hills, no surprise in the title!!

The first leg is on Box Hill, the second leg is up to Norbury Park and the third leg is up to Ranmore Common.  In total a distance of 15 miles that can be done in a relay team of three or for the more hardened hill runners the total distance as an individual.

SOME OF THE TEAM




They forcast snow so fingers crossed Nicky the organiser from Events to Live lets us go indoors to work our magic on tired legs.  I am not sure I will be able to move with all the layers I plan to put on for Sunday!! Considering a duvet!! 

Good luck to all the runners and well done for raising money for the Queen Elizabeth Foundation (QEF), Leatherhead.  We will be taking donations for QEF for any post event treatment given on the day.

National Stress Awareness Day - November 3rd 2010

It is the 12th National Stress Awareness Day TODAY!!! Wednesday 3rd of November.

Relaxation: Luxury or Necessity?

We live life today at such a fast hectic pace, even general day to day living can build up pressure.  Unless we regularly reduce this pressure the stress caused can have a detrimental effect on our mind and our body.  Some pressure is beneficial helping us to organise our lives and focus on what we need to achieve.  However if we allow the pressure to continue building it can have the opposite effect leaving us feeling unable to cope, exhausted, tense and inadequate.  This can then have a knock on to our physical health dampening our immune systems so that we are more susceptible to illness. Stress can also cause sleep deprivation and worry which can affect our ability to concentrate and the list goes on....

Relaxation can help us restore balance, giving us time to reassess and prioritise enabling us to continue on once again.

So we at Fine Fettle believe the answer to the above question is a resounding.........NECESSITY!

We think that targeting stress by using both mental and physical relaxation can be doubly effective.  So a bit like the old "pick "n" mix" you choose two therapies from back massage, reflexology and hypnotherapy and we will combine them in an hour long session.

"Relaxation Combination"
