Meet our fitness expert

Anna is a highly qualified fitness and face yoga expert. She firmly believes that fitness and exercise can provide both instant and long term benefits for the whole body, including your skin.

“I have combined my knowledge and expertise with Simple to create the Simple Sense routine. A personalised programme to help you get the most out of your routine for great looking skin, through exercise”

With years of experience in ways to look and feel great, Anna is the Simple Fitness Expert.

She gained her personal training qualification from Premier Global and was trained in face yoga at Danielle Collins Training. She is also the founder of A-PT where she specialises in healthy weight loss, core stability and pre and post natal exercise through bespoke programme design.

“I firmly believe that fitness and exercise can have several benefits for your skin, some are instant and many are long term.”

Anna says that there is a form of exercise out there for everyone to enjoy, but it’s up to you to take that leap of faith and find out what works for you, and your skin.

Anna advises, “The instant benefit of exercise is that it brings oxygen to the skin’s surface helping it to glow, and helps purge skin of toxins through sweating.”

Exercise 1: Marching
Warm up
 
A warm up should feature Dynamic Stretching which means getting the heart-rate up and mobilising the muscles and joints through movements that mimic the exercises ahead. It's as much about mental preparation as it is physical. Each stretch should be repeated 8 - 10 times.

Exercise 1: Quadriceps stretch
Cool down
 
A cool down eases your muscles back into a normal state and preventing the build-up of lactic acid, which can cause cramping and soreness. This is primarily done through static stretching. Hold each stretch for 10 - 12 seconds.
 
BeneFIT
 
Keep skin fresh-looking and blemish-free by cleansing properly after you work out. If you're in a hurry, use a wipe to get rid of the bulk of the sweat and remember to thoroughly cleanse when you get home.

Circuits are the best way to make the most of a short exercise window because they get your heart pumping and work every muscle in your body. Circuits increase your cardio vascular fitness, burn calories and boost your resting metabolic rate (the rate at which your body utilises energy and burns fat post work out).
 
BeneFIT
 
High intensity of circuit training means you will sweat like never before! Sweating can help purge your skin of impurities, leaving it clean, clear and able to breathe.

Weight training is shown to help maintain and build up bone mass which is especially important as from your 30s onwards we begin to see a gradual loss of bone mass. Resistance machines found at the gym are highly recommended to contend with this degeneration because they offer support as well as resistance. However, using a basic, straight backed chair and dumbbells is a great alternative at home.
 
BeneFIT
 
Not only will you improve your respiratory system, enabling you to improve on daily aerobic activity (shopping, playing with the kids / grandkids) but exercises that produce muscle will encourage the flow of essential oxygen and nutrients to the skin. This creates the ideal environment for skin, making sure it has everything it needs to help produce collagen and improve barrier strength - so that it looks and feels its healthy best.
 
Equipment required

Dumbbells
Leg weights
