“Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day”
I’m embracing an ‘up’ day with the birds singing, the sun shining and the Daffodils doing the Daffodil Dance in the breeze.
I’ve had my jab (AZ), as I know many of you have (it’s great to be in the over 35’s!!!) and no significant side effects (I did take Paracetamol just in case for 24 hours). Today’s news about efficacy is very encouraging and whilst we must keep our powder dry it does provide some hope.
We have one week before we can meet up in each other’s gardens and I can welcome clients back to my Garden Gym. I can also run outdoor Fitness Classes.. yayyy!
Read on for info about new classes, free talks and an immune boosting recipe…

Garden Gym
I am investing in a new large waterproof Gazebo for the Garden Gym and am permitted to erect 2 sidewalls for warmth, privacy and reduce draughts.
Wherever possible, clients are asked to use their own small equipment and of course all covid safety protocols will be followed as before.
Thanks Emma…

I’m preparing an Immunity Boost Talk via Zoom
I’m aware that we have not been out and about for a while and that our immune systems are now weakened as a consequence, not to mention our fitness and confidence!
My talk is aimed at providing information that will help you boost your immunity, fitness and confidence as we ease out of lockdown and face the world.
Email if you are interested helen@dybo.co.uk

How to prepare your environment
- You need space to move 2 side steps, 4 walks forward, 4 backward. Move trip hazards and furniture as much as you can (get help, be careful!) to give you maximum space for upper and lower body movement. Roll up rugs or secure them so they don’t slip or cause you to trip.
- Plugging your device in to your TV with an HDMI cable is brilliant as it gives you a good picture of you (like a mirror) and me – as well as boosting the sound if you go through the TV/Hi-Fi sound system. If you can place your device under the TV, then even better.
- I know some of you are using your phones – try to plug in to a speaker system (even those little speakers we have when we go on holiday would help) so that you can hear better as you move back from the phone. Angie has tried Bluetooth earphones and it worked well.
- Ensure you have maximum access to your Wi-Fi in the house and as close to the router as is feasible. Take phones off the Wi-Fi system and pop them on to your 4/5G network or place on airplane mode, unless that’s what you are using to join us, obviously. Ask family to do the same for the duration of your class – keep them off the internet whilst you need the bandwidth. The more bandwidth you have, the better the picture and sound and the less likely you are to lose the feed. Your health is a priority at this time and I’m sure they can do something else for that short time!
- Ventilate your exercise space, have plenty of water and towels to hand, keep your exercise equipment close – if you need anything, let me know.
- Wear correct footwear for your activity – putting an old pair of socks over the toes and ball of your trainers will help reduce friction when exercising on carpet (if they are a really old pair, cutting the toes open and then just having them over the ball of the foot is even better). It’s up to you if you want to dance or train in bare feet but be careful if you don’t usually do this as it takes time for the muscles and connective tissue of the feet and rest of the body to adapt to barefoot training.
- Make your own gym equipment. Save laundry liquid or milk bottles – you can fill them with water or wet sand/rice etc. to add weight and make a dumbell/kettlebell. I recommend you make a few in differing weights and you have written on them so you know what they weigh and seal the caps with tape to prevent leakage. Get a heavy duty shopping bag and put weighty items in it, check they can’t fall out and you have a kettlebell alternative. Make your own hurdles, put cushions, pillows, boxes, books on the floor to jump over. Use household items as floor markers for circuit activities. The stairs and outdoor steps are great temporary steps/benches for cardio and upper body work. The garden is a great open space to make an assault course or if you can get a signal, take your class or PT session outside, but do make it safe.
