This year we've put a lot of focus on our health and fitness. We
wanted to share a few of the things that we've found and like to
use to feel really good.
</p>
<h3>Yoga</h3> <h3>Yoga</h3>
<p>
We started doing yoga over 2 years ago and it's become something
that we always come back to when things are tough and we need to
regroup and relax.</br>
The best resource we've found is a YouTube channel called
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@bohobeautiful" target="_blank">Boho Beautiful</a>.
Don't let the name put you off. This channel is run by a couple who
have a huge variety of very high quality yoga and fitness videos for
any situation and focus. Their style and language does take a bit
of getting used to, but their content is always just what we need.</br>
</p>
<p>
Here is a small selection of videos that are perfect for getting
started and feeling the benefit of yoga straight away.

Juice and Toya produce really good workout videos. They
are simple and easy to follow with no distractions, so
you can set them going and listen/watch something else

Madfit is a good channel for all sorts of work out videos
both with and without equipment. She has very good advice
and often gives helpful tips for keeping good form.

The workouts done by Boho Beautiful are very creative
and very engaging. These are tough workouts but they
challenge you in a good way. Most of the work outs
require no equipment. Chris likes to do this one
when we are on holiday.

We've been using protein powder for a while now and it really
does wonders to overall health and fitness. Chris likes to
have it in his cereal every morning and Maria uses all sorts
of different protein powder in her recipes.</br>
However it is very difficult to find the right one. We've
tried several different brands and they've all either had
a weird texture, not mixed well, had an after taste, etc.
However this year we finally found the perfect one, at least
for us, as a shake (or to have in cereal).</br>
<a href="https://www.optimumnutrition.com/en-gb/Products/Protein/Shakes-%26-Powders/Gold-Standard-100%25-Whey-Protein-/p/gold-standard-100-whey-protein" target="_blank">Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder</a> is the
best we've seen. It mixes super easily, it has a great taste,
and it comes in a bunch of flavours. If you're on the look
out for some protein powder we highly recommend this.

We couldn't help but mention the most amazing thing
that happened in tennis in 2022.</br>
Right at the start of the year in one of the biggest
tennis tournaments of the year, The Australian Open,
was coming to a close.</br>
Two giants of the sport Daniil Medvedev and Rafael
Nadal were set to play it out in the finals with
what would prove to be the most gruelling and
entertaining match of the year.</br>
We don't want to spoil it for you if your haven't
seen the results. So if you did want to talk about
it or hear our thoughts then let us know. It gets
pretty crazy!

With plants from all over the world you can really feel

paradises. We both absolutely love nature, and having
the opportunity to see so many rare and unique plants
(and in some cases animals) is very very special.

Often these gardens will put on shows throughout the
year which can be so incredibly beautiful.

We have a shared love of stand up comedy and have seen
several shows over the years. We can't recommend it
enough. Take a look at your local theatre and see who's
touring. It pays to book ahead both for the excitement
and the guaranteed good seats.
