Bríd Long Physiotherapy & Personal Training

Hi all,

I put this out there on Instagram yesterday purely just looking for some friends to go running with and it very quickly gained traction and became a full blown running social group!
If anyone on here wants to join us just let me know.
The majority involved are complete beginners and people that haven’t exercised in years so we’re going to build things very slowly. People that are more advanced might join in for the start/end of their own runs.

Picture below shows the jist of what I wanted this to be about!

First run this Sunday meeting at 10am at Cortado down at the Marina, I’ll lead a warm up and we’ll set off to run/skip/walk 3kms returning back to our starting location. We’ll repeat this same session Sunday week for anyone who can’t make this Sunday.

Let me know if anyone else wants to join in it’s nothing too serious just a free, easy/casual way to get moving & socialise 🥰

Everything you know about back pain is wrong Back pain treatment costs more than cancer and diabetes treatment combined - across the world it places a huge burden on people and societies. However, most of these costs are usually r

4 quick, general tips; which are also just good lifestyle habits 🎉

1 - Prepare your food. This will save you a lot of hassle. If the food is there and ready to eat, you're more than likely going to adhere to eating well and eliminate unnecessary trips to the shop to grab a quick sausage roll and bag of crisps. I tend to get asked "what snacks are good?" Personally, I eat 5/6 consistent meals per day and because of this, I don't have room to snack. Snacks count. If you do snack, what you choose to snack on will be down to your daily calorie intake as a whole. There's no one particular "healthy snack" that's better than another.

2 - Be mindful of "hidden calories" .. Reduce/replace your sugary drinks with zero or diet, use zero calorie sprays instead of oils, use passata sauces instead of your usual dolmio jar.. Again, these are just general tips. A dolmio sauce may fit into your overall calorie intake!

3 - Track your steps. I use the StepCount smartphone app, it isn't fully accurate, but I still aim to get in at least 10,000 steps a day - this use of energy accumulates to what you expend throughout the day! Take the stairs, get off the bus 1 stop before your usual

4 - Increase your veg intake. Aside from the actual benefits of veg, If you're getting in a good serving of veg with your meals, you probably won't want to "snack" or over do it on other foods. Make it nice! No one is saying boil broccoli and just eat that there. Aldi/lidl do frozen seasoned veg mixes. Make it nice and try different forms of cooking!

Das all actually bye x
