☀️ HOT WEATHER REMINDER ☀️

🌿 Looking After Yourself

The warmer weather can be lovely, but it’s important to take care of yourself too.

💧 Stay hydrated throughout the day – don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink.
🏃‍♀️ If you’re exercising, walking, running, or doing outside jobs, try to do the more strenuous tasks during the cooler parts of the day.
🧴 Apply sunscreen regularly and don’t forget easy-to-miss areas such as your ears, neck and tops of your feet.
👕 Wear light, loose-fitting clothing that allows your body to stay cool.
🧢 A hat and sunglasses can help protect you from the sun.
🌳 Take regular breaks in the shade where possible.

🐴 Looking After Your Horse

💧 Ensure your horse has access to plenty of fresh, clean water at all times.
🥣 Offering a watery mash can be a great way to increase fluid intake.
⚡ Electrolytes may be beneficial for some horses, but always offer plain water alongside electrolyte water.
🏇 Consider exercising during the cooler parts of the day and adjust workloads if needed.
🌳 Whether your horse is happier in or out will depend on the individual horse, the shade available, flies, airflow and what they’re accustomed to. Observe your horse and make decisions based on their comfort.
🪰 Fly rugs can be excellent for protecting against biting insects, but remember they can also increase heat underneath, so check regularly that your horse is comfortable.

The key message for both people and horses is simple: stay cool, stay hydrated, and don’t be afraid to adjust your plans to suit the conditions. ☀️💙

For the past couple of years, Amethyst Beauty in Cockermouth has been the home of my business, and it’s a place I’m proud to work alongside such a talented and supportive team.

Amethyst offers a wide range of professional treatments and therapies, from manicures, pedicures, and waxing to relaxing massage treatments and facials. Their full range of services can be found on their website.

As I don’t work full-time in massage therapy, appointment availability can sometimes become limited. If you’re struggling to find a suitable slot with me, I highly recommend Amy who works out of Amethyst, who also offers Sports Therapy and massage treatments. The clinic also provides additional wellbeing services that can work alongside your health and self-care routine, including cupping therapy, lymphatic drainage techniques, and McTimoney treatments with Tricia for structural pain and alignment issues.

Whether you’re looking for support with physical wellbeing, relief from aches and tension, or simply some well-deserved time for yourself, you’ll be welcomed by a friendly, skilled, and professional team who genuinely care about helping people feel their best.

💥 DOMS — what is it and should you worry? 💥

Ever done a workout and felt fine… then the next day everything aches? 😅

That’s usually DOMS: Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

If you’ve been to my LIFT & LENGTHEN class… chances are you may have felt this 😉💪

It normally appears 12–48 hours after exercise, especially after trying something new or working a bit harder than usual.

DOMS is caused by tiny muscle fibres repairing and rebuilding, which is a normal part of getting stronger.

✅ DOMS feels like:

• muscle ache/stiffness
• tenderness
• worse after rest but eases as you move
• goes away in a few days

⚠️ Injury feels more like:

• sharp pain
• swelling/bruising
• joint pain
• pain getting worse
• weakness or limited movement

A little soreness doesn’t mean you’ve done harm, it often means your body is adapting.

So please don’t let DOMS put you off exercise ❤️
Keep moving, recover well, and trust the process.

☀️ Don’t underestimate the power of good old Vitamin D… aka SUNSHINE! ☀️

Sometimes the simplest things can make the biggest difference to how we feel, and getting outside in the sunshine is one of them 🙌

Vitamin D plays such an important role in keeping us healthy:

✨ Helps support a strong immune system
✨ Keeps bones, muscles and joints healthy
✨ Can improve mood and energy levels
✨ Supports better sleep patterns
✨ Helps fight off that sluggish, tired feeling

And the best part? It’s free 💛

Even just 10–20 minutes outside, a short walk, sitting in the garden with a cuppa, or getting some fresh air between jobs can do wonders for both body and mind.

Sunshine + movement + fresh air = one of the best natural mood boosters there is 🌿☀️

So if you’ve been feeling a bit flat, low on energy or just stuck indoors too much lately… this is your reminder to step outside and soak some up.

Your body will thank you 😊
