Having tried the #Fitin5 workout I am now quite intrigued. There is a whole world of fitness out there that I am yet to explore. So with this in mind I have been investigating some other fitness techniques to complement my daily yoga practice, not least to make sure I am ready for my personal training session with Susan Dyson at the Hiitgirl studio!

It’s early days but this week I dug out this vintage gem from Felicity Kendal.

I found it when the Quaker Meeting House in Covent Garden were having a clear out prior to their summer refurbishment. One Wednesday after my yoga class I had a rummage in their give-away boxes and came up trumps with this 1981 vinyl treasure. You might well laugh but it’s actually a pretty good work-out and fun (booty shuffling to Bucks Fizz!). Lots of yoga influence on the moves in there too, much to my surprise.

And today I am going to the complete opposite end of the spectrum to try out the very latest in high intensity group training from America - Orange Theory. No I have no idea what this is either. But it’s orange so it’s got to be worth a shot, right?

I’ll report back on the Orange Theory after my free VIP press taster session at the new David Lloyd studio gym in Islington this afternoon. Apparently the person who created it was a yoga and Pilates teacher so I’m going to be looking out for that influence whilst trying not to crumple in a heap in front of lots of scary media peeps.

Wish me luck!
