Because health is the real wealth…

Posted on by

It was Mahatma Ghandi who said

It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver

And someone who definitely agrees with those words is Calverton-based fitness coach Julie Rose, who joins June on Girls Around Town this Sunday.

Julie will be on the phone to the studio in the second hour of the show to describe how the personal training sessions, classes and courses offered by Rosefit help people achieve their fitness goals…

Not just through exercise but through healthy eating too!

After several months running the sessions online, as restrictions continue to ease she’s looking forward to getting back to face-to-face training with clients both old and new – whether they’ve been thinking about starting a fitness regime and need a place to begin or they’re seasoned exercisers who want to give something new a try,

On the healthy eating side, if like June you’re a bit of a list-maker you’ll find what Julie has to say about meal planning particularly interesting too.

Every Sunday morning without fail (except this Sunday of course, when she’ll be too busy chatting to June and will have to postpone it till later in the day!) she gets to work picking and prepping her evening meals for the coming week.

Make sure you’re tuned to 107.8FM or listening online from just after 11.10am when she’ll be sharing her top tips for what she calls Food Prep Sunday, along with a couple of changes you can make to what you eat that will help you get back in shape. Just easy tweaks, nothing too dramatic…

As Julie says, remember that small hinges swing BIG doors!!

A whole new ball game

Posted on by

Remember those PE lessons back in your schooldays? Those sessions in the sports hall playing netball?

Well, these days there’s a whole new ball game in town – quite literally!

And if you fancy a bit of a wiggle and a giggle while getting fit, this could be just what you’re looking for…

England Netball‘s Louise Key joins the Girls Around Town in the first hour of next weekend’s show to explain all about Walking Netball.

And sisters-in-law Gill and Jane Griffiths will be in the studio with June and Louise too, talking about their own experience of the sessions at Newark Sports & Fitness Centre on Bowbridge Road.

A slower version of the game you may have played at school, Walking Netball has been designed so that anyone can take part, regardless of age or fitness level. Women the length and breadth of the country are now enjoying the fun, laughter and camaraderie these social sessions bring, not to mention the health benefits on offer.

Whether you want to get active but don’t feel fit enough to run anymore or you’re looking for a stepping stone to get yourself back into netball, make sure to tune in to 107.8FM or listen online next Sunday from 10am to hear what Louise, Gill and Jane have to say.

In the meantime, you’ll find all the the dates and times of upcoming classes in and around Newark here or just email louise.key@englandnetball.co.uk for more details.

And why not check out what some of England Netball’s other members have to say about having fun while getting fit in this video?

Let them make cake!

Turning a hobby into a business is always a popular topic on Girls Around Town and if the business in question involves food, so much the better.

Someone who’s done just that is Lyndsay Sadler, who joins June and Rosalyn in the studio this weekend to talk about how she’s now sharing a life-long passion for cooking with the young – and not so young! – in a variety of ways.

In addition to making beautiful celebration cakes and cupcakes, she passes on her skills in the kitchen to children and teenagers by giving them the opportunity to make their own tasty treats. And of course, to enjoy the results of their new-found culinary expertise too…

Lyndsay will be describing her own journey, from spending hours transfixed by the tempting cakes in her mother’s cookery books to studying for a City and Guilds in Advanced Professional Cookery and later living above a boulangerie in Lyon and getting up early to watch the bakers at work.

Now with four children of her own, ranging from one to twelve-years old, when they started growing up she knew she wanted to combine everything she’d learned with a business and so Coco’s Kitchen was born.

“I’ve always loved involving my children in what I’m doing in the kitchen,” she says.  “We cook regularly together and enjoy ourselves enormously in the process. Cooking with your kids is quality family time and the added bonus is you get the wonderful bonding experience of sharing something delicious together at the end.

“Each year, as my own children’s birthdays came around, I looked for new ideas for their parties and then it suddenly occurred to me that, with my experience of both food and children, I should start my own business to cater for this growing market.”

Tune in to 107.8FM or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out more about the benefits of getting your kids busy in the kitchen. Lyndsay will also be talking about some of her favourite makes and bakes – luckily for June and Rosalyn’s waistlines, there’ll be no cakes in the studio this Sunday but word is she’ll be whipping up a tasty wintry soup…

Sounds like just the job for a chilly November lunchtime!
