My Workout Gear

As a fitness enthusiast, I enjoy various activities no matter what the weather. Could be Pilates one day or Body Balance the next. These workouts just make me feel good and help boost my spirit and energy.

Sometimes I’m completely lost without my regular weekend work out. Don’t know how I’ll survive without fitness. As it’s difficult to stick to a timetable, I always change what I do to avoid boredom.

Usually start with Stretches and then I’ll move on to Cardio, this means I’ll go on the treadmill, Cross Trainer and Cycling Machine for 15 minutes each. Then I’m off onto some more stretching and Abs workouts for another 30 minutes.

Today, I felt motivated by an abdominal machine called, Bosu, which apparently helps support the core muscles. Utter joy! This is my all-time favourite machine. But you won’t believe it took me about 2-3 weeks to get accustomed to it but the health benefits are great.

To sum up my regular weekend workout, I went off to my Pilates class for some less strenuous workouts. Pilates classes is a slightly different from the gym exercises in that it is normally tutor led and there is a lot of stretching involved but having said that, it can be quite challenging as well. Can’t imagine a week without Pilates because it also helps me tone.

Can be quite daunting without group exercise classes though, because I get a lot of motivation working out around friends and interacting with them. Hoping to stick to this regular weekend workout and with some new ventures in 2014 .

I’m now looking forward to my next fitness class, taking place soon.

 

 

 

About the Author: Bola

About me and Journeywithbola.com I’m Bola, a London-based travel writer and blogger with over 20 years of writing experience and a background in business and finance, administration, journalism, teaching, and support work across the education and homelessness sectors. I help women over 60 discover the world again, in confidence, friendship and freedom. Since launching my blog in 2013, I’ve been on a mission to inspire and empower women—especially senior women who may feel isolated—to step outside their comfort zones and rediscover the joy of exploration. My work focuses on uncovering hidden historical gems in London and beyond, bringing their stories to life in ways that are engaging, accessible, and meaningful. I believe travel isn’t just about going far—it’s about seeing familiar places with fresh eyes. Over the years, I’ve met many people who have barely explored London despite living here, often held back by routine. That’s where I come in. Through my blog and curated group trips, I help women experience the city (and the world) like curious travellers, not just residents. My trips are designed to be more than just journeys—they’re shared experiences that build confidence, connection, and lasting memories. Whether we’re walking through historic streets or venturing further afield, the goal is always the same: to inspire you to move, explore, and embrace new possibilities. Because I truly believe—we are not meant to stay still. If you’re able to move, in any way, then keep moving. My passion for travel began in childhood, inspired by watching my parents explore the world. That early influence shaped my belief in travel as a powerful tool for well-being, growth, and transformation. The Vision Of Journey With Bola Create a community of mid-luxury travellers.
