Sangria and bikini bottoms
I've just got back from a lovely holiday in Fuerteventura where I was able to work, rest and play.For me getting up in the morning to go to the gym, outdoors for a walk or workout then going down to breakfast that someone else had prepared was heaven! Even better they then cleared it all away - perfect!Infact the choices for breakfast in our hotel was amazing - here is a pic.I did a few hours work on the computer most days but I also spent plenty of time relaxing by the pool, listening to music and just chilling. Everyone needs to just relax and unwind - even if you just book a facial or massage every month, it's a vital part of staying healthy.We walked into town for dinner rather than eating in the hotel and had some great tapas most nights - squid, tuna, chicken, special "canadian" style potatoes and loads more.So with all the eating and lying around (plus a few sangrias now and then) it was important to keep up my exercise which is why I took my ZTrainer and Zband in my suitcase as they are lightweight and I wanted to be able to exercise when and where I wanted. I didn't use them everyday, as we also walked a huge amount plus if the truth be know a couple of evenings when I had planned to exercise before getting ready to go out, I just laid in the warm sun for a bit longer :)Some of you may not know that I created the 2trainer and Zband fitness products several years ago which you can find out more about here If you’ve not yet been on your summer holiday but have an apartment, villa or hotel booked have you considered how you can turn it into an instant gym? We’ve done the work for you with this short workout that uses the Zband - there is a video below. You can ofcourse do this workout at home (in preparation for your holiday) by attaching to tree, post or even your staircase…Attach the band to something solid about chest height for all exercises.

I had my "colours" done last year so I bought an emerald green bikini which I knew was a great colour for me and yes it really helped. Let's face it - when all your are wearing is a bikini you want it to look the best it can! If you live in or around Bath then I recommend you see Jan Lockett to find out what colours will make you sparkle
