Spring into Action

Spring training tips

It’s time for that age-old debate; is the process of altering the clocks still relevant to our current lifestyle?

It goes without saying, sleep is valuable. Sacrificing even a few minutes is a big ask, let alone an hour… although I suppose when you think about it, it is 100% worth it. 

We want to help you take advantage of the summer months with this mini-guide to a handful of London’s finest workout spots. Don’t worry, our trainers are ready to join you anywhere, anytime.

Did you know?

The average person spends 92% of their time inside! 

Not only does a workout in the park benefit your fitness, it can increase your well-being and is a great way to unwind after a long day. If you already have a hectic schedule, why not train during your lunch hour? It is proven that a workout will increase concentration levels, motivate your mind and help order your thoughts.

 

Greenwich Park

Greenwich park is the perfect location to stretch your legs, with over 74 acres of land to play with, a great chance to get creative and explore all the charming routes have to offer.

It is no surprise the park is a hotspot for runners, with a range of flat and hilly surfaces to keep you on your toes, with the added reward of breathtaking City views ready to inspire and remind you of the greatness within.

If running isn’t your cup of tea, don’t sweat, Greenwich park has a lot to offer, from great spaces to workout to idyllically located benches to enjoy a well-deserved rest.

Interesting Fact:

Did we mention the Prime Meridian is located here? It’s where East meets West at Longitude 0 degrees, a reference line for astronomical observations.  Hypothetically, this park is both the beginning and end of the world!

Greenwich has long open hours, 6 AM – 9:30 PM in the summer months, so no need to rush to get there after work.

 

Hyde Park

Hyde Park is the largest Royal Park in London and a workout haven.
Full of trails and gardens, this park is perfect for you to create your own running and training paths in the picturesque fields and woodlands.

Hyde is famous for being divided by the Serpentine, a 40 acre recreational lake. The Serpentine is an impeccable spot for 2 mile running loops and a peaceful way to unwind alongside your personal trainer in the evenings.

Interesting Fact:

Feel like taking a dip after your run? A rectangular swimming area is located in the southern area of the park, open in the summer months!

 

Regent’s Park

Have your trainer meet you in the ‘gardener’s paradise’ known as Regent Park.
This park is one large inner circle, a total of 410 acres in size and a one-of-a-kind place to run or train. If you’re up for a challenge, there are plenty of steep inclines and long running routes.  

In the mood to try something new?
Nearly 100 acres of the park are set aside for a variety of sports such as football, cricket, and frisbee!

Interesting Fact:

Regent’s Park is the home to a wide variety of roses and thousands upon thousands of rose bushes.

Fall in Love with You this February

A positive state of mind is crucial for good health, happiness and success. Your body craves goodness, the better you feel the better you look, and vice –versa. It is important to love and appreciate yourself, only then will it all become clear.

Happiness Hormone

You may have heard of ‘Runners high‘?
Don’t worry, you don’t have to be the next Mo Farah to achieve this kind of rush. This particular high is a result of the happiness hormone (more commonly known as Endorphins) being released into your body, creating the desirable state of euphoria and best of all it is 100% natural.

Exercise releases endorphins, this generates a numerous amount of benefits, all with the added bonus of getting fit!

Helps fight Anxiety, Depression and Reduce Stress

Whether you are working long hours, stuck in an office, studying for exams or holding up the fort, the importance of ‘me time’ should never be underestimated. Exercise can dramatically reduce anxiety, depression and stress. It can act as a long-term solution, benefiting your mind and body. Endorphins can act as natural painkiller, help you organise your thoughts and boost your mood significantly.

Focus

By increasing your ability to focus, your fitness goals, work goals and personal goals are all going to benefit, but this is not where it ends. Endorphins increase your ability to process emotion. By listening to your thoughts with a clear mind you are more likely  to understand what your body requires. Taking the time to focus on your thoughts and reflect on your day will help you overcome any obstacles put in your way.

Lower Blood Pressure

Your health should be your number one priority. A healthy diet and daily exercise is a great place to start! If you are concerned about the activity being too strenuous, then it is important to talk to your TruBe trainer, they will create a program to ease you in gently, this will help build stamina and create positive and lasting results.

Motivation

A positive outlook generates positive results. The more you exercise the more motivated you will become and with your TruBe trainer there to cheer you on, you are bound to succeed!
Your motivation will carry across into all aspects of life; you will feel less tired and become more efficient with your time.

Stay true to you

Exercise is a powerful tool. No two people are the same; finding out what works for you will enable you to enjoy the journey and make it personal.
Exercise will uncover many lasting relationships, 
strengthen your mind and will make you the best version of yourself, someone to be truly proud of.
