BOXING FOR FITNESS Advice from the Fitness Team at ESPA Life at Corinthia September is upon us and the festive season is right around the corner. Many of us have skipped the gym workouts & fitness classes in favor of holidays and lazy summer days. Are you finding it hard to pick back up your fitness regime. Why not try boxing? Not only is boxing an amazing cardio workout but a perfect core & strength combo – the possibilities & combinations are endless. From high to low punches, side to side punches, rotations, glutes activation, duck & weave, oblique crunches, sprints, skipping etc., so many exercises can be placed together to take your fitness to the next level with this. Due to the various punches a huge number of the body’s joints and muscles are activated and firing - shoulders, chest ,triceps, back, core, and quads to name but a few - whilst also increasing your lung and heart capacity to maximum levels. If this sounds like something you would like to try and are determined to push through those fitness barriers then head down to the gym to see Ryan or Marina, both of whom are qualified in boxing and would love to put you through your paces. To book a Personal Training Session please contact the Fitness Team on telephone +44 (0) 20 7321 3050 or email espalife.london@corinthia.com
INVIGORATE THE SENSES Shirodhara Treatment Soothe and invigorate the senses and the mind with a Shirodhara treatment. Shirodhara (from Sanskrit origins, Shiras meaning head and dhara meaning flow) is based on the principle that the gentle, constant application of warm oil to the forehead stimulates blood circulation to the brain and is renowned for soothing the nervous system and inducing a deep state of relaxation. It is believed to reduce stress, anxiety, insomnia, and headaches and promote mental clarity. It is also great to re-balance sleep patterns after travel, preventing jet lag - making it great after holidays! The hair and scalp are also left nourished from therapeutic oils, giving soft and shiny hair. The treatment begins with a cleansing foot ritual to establish specific needs or concerns. Then whilst relaxing on your back, warm aromatic oils flow in a continuous, rhythmic stream over the forehead calming the mind. The treatment is completed with a relaxing scalp massage. The Shirodhara treatment can also be combined with a 50 minute personalised massage for the ultimate relaxation experience.

THE PERFECT POS T WORK-OUT SNACK Post-workout snacking can increase metabolism and help you burn more calories. Yes, it’s true… when you snack smart, that is.

HEALTHY HA BITS, HEALTHY HAIR Advice from Daniel Galvin at Corinthia The condition of your hair is an outward sign of your inside health.. The cells that make up each strand of hair require a regular supply of key nutrients. Simply incorporate these vitamins and minerals into your diet and we guarantee you will have fantastic, healthy hair in no time. Protein Hair is made of protein, thus ensuring you have enough in your diet is crucial for making hair strong and healthy. Without it your hair can become dry, brittle, and weak. Chicken, turkey, fish, dairy products, and eggs are all excellent sources of protein to add to your diet for strong, silky hair. Iron Iron is also a vital vitamin for your hair. Lack of iron can cause anemia, which can be closely connected to hair loss. If you’re experiencing hair loss try to add ironrich ingredients to your diet such as red meat, chicken, and fish. Lentils, spinach, and other vegetables such as broccoli, kale, and salad greens are also iron-rich and delicious options for a quick lunchtime meal. Vitamin A Add Vitamin A into your diet and quench your thirsty tresses. The vitamin helps your body produce sebum, which creates a natural conditioner and moisturiser for your hair. Incorporate orange and yellow colored vegetables such as carrots, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes and you’ll soon love your new luscious locks.
