As the co founder of Wild Camping Wiltshire I know being outside makes me feel better and lifts my mood. I decided to combine my fitness training with my love of the great outdoors and Out-Fit was born.
Just 20 minutes exercising in nature every day will have a positive impact .. I challenge you to do it! Exercising outside is especially beneficial as it decreases stress, improves cognitive function, blood pressure, mental health, daily tasks and sleep (ACSM American Fitness Index).
In 2018 after a health scare I started exercising.
Running seemed a relatively cheap, accessible sport but
I was sceptical about my ability to run as I had never run before and wasn't particularly fit after having four children. I never thought of doing any strength training.
I started with the Couch to 5k app and lots of (much needed) encouragement from my family. This graduated 30 min programme involved a mix of walking and running and thanks to the simplicity of the concept was straightforward to engage with and most importantly enjoyable to listen to.
In 2023 gained the level 3 HFE (Health and Fitness Education) diploma in exercise referral, with a level 3 nutrition to support physical exercise and level 2 in planning and delivering gym-based exercise. I work part time as a gym fitness consultant.
I love using our newly installed outdoor Xorbars at the campsite.. lots of fun, relleases all those happy exercise endorphins..helping to develop a healthy tolerenace to stress.
I can offer outdoor fitness sessions combining strerngth training and cardio using our newly installed Xorbars to add to the fun!
Additionally I can provide a tailored fitness programme to those people who have been referred by a GP to increase their physical activity levels. Those with existing health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke or type 2 diabetes.
