HOW CAN RUGBY SPECIFIC TRAINING HELP YOU GET FIT QUICKLY? WORKOUT IDEAS

05:43 Melka 0 Comments


When it comes to fitness you need to keep your motivation high to avoid any gaps in your regime. If you have fallen off the wagon lately, it is very likely you just simply got bored with your routine. 


I have a great suggestion that may be just what you need to be back on track in no time. It applies to both men and women. Do RUGBY training. 


As ridiculous as it may sound, it is possible for anyone to train like a rugby pro and reap all the benefits of tough yet exhilarating sets of kicks, passes and sprints.

What do you need to start RUGBY inspired training?

- A friend to do it with
- A rugby ball (ideally about 5 balls)
- A bit of free access, grassy field 
- A pair of football boots








Before I go into detail of rugby specific workout please keep in mind that this isn't with an aim to join a rugby team and participate in matches. This workout is to get you stronger, more agile, and your heart healthier in a very short space of time. I promise you (yes PROMISE), do two to three rugby workouts weekly for two months and you'll be flying off to the next level with your stamina of an athlete. 




Still not convinced? I haven't mentioned that rugby teaches you many skills like eye to ball coordination, it speeds up your reaction times, it makes you sharper physically and mentally. Due to explosive nature of this training it also helps with high energy levels - so crucial in demanding life styles many of us have. 




If you can see yourself enjoying a bit of mud on your shins and hands, a lot of fresh air in your lungs and pleasantly tired muscles then have a look at the workout pattern below:





WARM UP: 

Do a few laps jogging around the field, find a bench or rail, hold for balance, do 20 leg swings on each side, then walking lunges throughout the length of the field.



TRAINING: (two people) 



DRILL ONE: 
Run parallel to each other up to five metres apart, pass the ball as you run in the same direction, the person with the ball runs ahead and throws the ball to the person just behind, the roles switch here, keep passing the ball to each other. Do as many drills as you like. Challenge yourselves by speeding up the pace.

DRILL TWO:
Run in circular direction around your friend, he/she passes the ball to you, you throw it back immediately while moving; challenge yourself by increasing the amount of throws, also vary the height of throws. Swap roles, do three circles each until exhausted.

DRILL THREE:
Measure a distance of around 40 metres, your friend passes the ball to you half way through the sprint, you leave the ball on one end, sprint to catch the next one, leave on the other end, continue until you've run out of the balls, then start collecting the balls one by one off each end (while sprinting), pass them back at your friend half way through your sprint; finish off with an all out sprint with no ball passes involved. Recover and repeat at least once.

DRILL FOUR:
Kick the ball in the air, let it bounce once and then try to catch. Rugby balls can be very unpredictable in contact with uneven ground, a lot of short run bursts and changing direction here. 

DRILL FIVE:
One person practices kicks, the other collects the balls, from the field, concentrating on swift ball pick ups and powerful runs while holding the ball in one hand. Switch roles.


To finish off, do two sets of 20 press ups, squats, burpees and mountain climbers.

Christmas Natural Beauty Gift Ideas from Wales

11:39 Melka 0 Comments


Take a look at my latest natural skincare discoveries -  three brands that come from Wales, the land inhabited by people with true passion for healthy living and of course, rugby. 

With healthy living comes the attention to purer skincare. Find below my Welsh picks and get inspired in case you've run out of gift ideas.



1. Wellbeing Skincare Trio Gift Set


This beautifull packaged set of  Invigorating Exfoliator, Ultra-Purifying Cleanser & Toner and Regenerating Moisturiser (75ml each) is everything that's needed for a start up complete skincare routine. It is suitable for all skin types and packed full of restoring, hydrating and protecting natural actives such as oligosaccharides, phytosterols, ceramides or flavonoids just to name a few.

The brand itself works strictly according to their four principles 
- Use of fresh ingredients
- Abandon harsh chemicals and additives
- Source from local farmers and growers
- Support of scientific research
At £27.99 per set you are sure to grab yourself a bargain, and a healthier skin. Worth checking. The story begins in Wales... 



The brand focuses on making natural products from ingredients of the highest quality with minimum to none processing during manufacture. I got intrigued by the Hair Treatment Gift Set. It is incredibly difficult to find a good shampoo and conditioner in natural beauty aisles. Conscious Skincare came up with a formula based on Grapefruit, Lemon and Cedarwood Essential Oils, Together with gentle cleansing and foaming agents, this organic hair duo must have got onto many green beauty queens' radar. With a bottle of Argan Oil and wrapped in natural recycled cardboard boxes - this  Gift Set is perfect for eco friendly members of your family.

The last but not least is the proud establishment of Gwidhw - Natural Welsh Balms to provide relief from many concerns of modern living. Their fable like website offers a choice of ointments for hands, feet, achy muscles and even a sleep aid for busy owls.



I had a chance to try Gwidhw Hand Balm thanks to generosity of a very charismatic Welsh man. I like the combination of Geranium and Lavender Oils in this rich Hand Salve, I use it at night to wake up to softened and rescued indeed hands.


Gwidhw natural balms are a perfect gift idea if you are working with a budget. For as little as £3.99 you can make someone's skin budging problem disappear.


Feel super generous? You can create your own gift set using entire range of balms for £11.99. Wraped in organza bag, sweet, slightly quirky and bringing relief. Perfect. My next pick must be the Magic Muscle Balm with Nutmeg and Wintergreen Oils. See picture below.


I hope you enjoyed my Welsh list of natural skincare, please comment, suggest, refer and engage. Nadolig Llawen everyone!

THREE REASONS WHY DAVAJ BODY SERUM SHOULD BE ON YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST

17:18 Melka 0 Comments

If you like shopping for niche brands and luxury items then this post may be of interest to you. I have been researching natural beauty brands for over a year now and I never fail to discover new products that stand out.

Davaj Firming Body Serum is a luxury gift idea for a woman with high standards when it comes to skin care regime. Read on to find out about four reasons why you should demand a bottle under your Christmas Tree right now. 


1. Highly concentrated and effective formula 

Many beauty brands tend to be mixing cheaper base oils into their blends to save on manufacturing costs. The result is that although the formulas may contain many rare and potent ingredients, the percentage is usually not enough for the product to be effective. 

Davaj Body Serum's base is Certified Organic Argan Oil, Certified Organic Rosehip Oil and Organic Baobab Oil. They make out about 80% of the whole serum and there is no room for carrier oils whose role would have been to create bulk amount of a finished product. Organic Grapeseed supports these benefits even more while Organic Jojoba gives the skin that luxurious silky soft feel.  

Why Argan, Rosehip and Baobab together? These oils prove to be working in synergy for dramatic ani-ageing results. They are absorbed quickly to neutralise harsh effects of cellular damage, prevent skin from losing the ability to produce collagen - the crucial constituent of a young looking body. Davaj's Serum as a whole improves elasticity of the skin which lead to stretch mark and cellulite free look.


2. Unique hard-working dark glass bottles 



With special formula comes special packaging. It wasn't just for the aesthetic reasons Davaj range is poured into Vitality bottles. They protect the serum against harmful effects of light, extend its shelf life and boost its potency. Smart packaging that takes real care of quality product inside.


3. Rare sensual scent

It's of no surprise that scent is  mentioned as the third key reason why you need to grab a pen and add Davaj Body Serum to your Christmas wish list. The fragrance is a signature blend of Jasmine Absolute, Black Pepper, Patchouli and Benzoin. It provokes your senses to awake, be more receptive to the positive vibes of Davaj's application process and be ready to feel more feminine than ever - without losing your confidence. Luxury aroma. 


DAVAJ range is available via YourNextRemedy that can be bought with 10% introductory discount Just type in DAVAJ10OFF at checkout.
