Don’t go to the Gym!
Bring the Gym to you!
Every new health or cancer scare that
doctors uncover seems to come with the
standard, “…keep fit, lose weight and eat
healthy foods to minimise the risk…”
statement. We know it’s true but finding
time to get to the gym is difficult when our
lives are so busy.
So why not bring the gym to your home?
If you have an area that’s big enough for you to lie down
in, with your arms stretched out to either side, with a
few extra inches for good measure you’ve got enough
space to do a workout at home. No matter what your
initial fitness level, aims and budget are you can start to
exercise in the comfort of your own home.
Basic Fitness
If you’re after basic fitness you can try a home HIIT
session. All you need is a timer or smartphone app
and a workout program - there are loads of videos on
YouTube for every fitness level. HIIT or High Intensity
Interval Training works on short bursts of exercise,
up to about 1 minute, with rests of maybe 30 seconds
in between. It gets your heart rate up and gives you a
great workout in a very short space of time. Exercises
range from simple marching on the spot, squats, and
leg raises right through to advanced press-ups and
handstands, but all doable in the space we mentioned
earlier. An exercise mat might help for any lying-down
exercises and a resistance band or small set of weights
is a useful addition, but that’s about all you’ll need.
Three, twenty-minute sessions per week and you’ll
really start to see some results. Do it in the morning
before breakfast for maximum fat-burning efficiency,
and to set you up for the day.

also be done at home. By Robert Grant
FEATURE
Calisthenics is a form of training that uses your body
weight instead of free-standing weights. Each exercise
has a series of progressions from easy to very hard. Take
the simple press up as an example. Start doing them
whilst standing and leaning against a wall. As you move
your feet further from the wall it gets harder. Eventually
you’ll be able to do a full press up on the ground. Then
try positioning your hands closer to your waistline so
you are leaning forwards as you press up - it’s getting
harder now. Then try leaning so far forwards your feet
leave the floor and you’re into a planche position - not
for the faint hearted!
Other calisthenics exercises need some basic
equipment. Dips will need a set of dip bars. Pull
ups will need some pull up bars. But all of these are
relatively cheap to purchase and take up minimal space
when not in use.
What about exercise machines?
If you’re starting out my advice is to avoid machines
until you know what you like. You’ll probably only
have enough space and cash for one, and they are not
portable so once you’ve got it you’re stuck with it. Build
up your basic fitness and strength first and then decide
what you want to do. Once your body starts to show
some results you might even be tempted to venture
down to the gym to take advantage of a wider range of
equipment!
Be sensible
Always be careful with your body. Seek professional
advice before starting any exercise regime. Make sure
you’re working safely and within your capabilities.
Start easy and work up to the harder progressions. If
you have any signs of pain or discomfort, STOP! Rest,
recover and assess the situation.
Above all have fun getting fit and staying healthy.

Five charged with
drugs offences
Five men have been charged with class B
drugs offences after police carried out a
series of dawn raids at homes in the region.
Officers executed warrants at eight warrants
at addresses in Chester, Saltney, the Wirral
and North Wales. As a result, eight men
aged between 22 and 43, were arrested on
suspicion of drugs offences. Five of the men
have since been charged with conspiracy to
produce class B drugs (cannabis).
The five are: Imerli Metaj, aged 41, of Lache
Park Avenue; Ervis Rexhaj, aged 31, of Park
Avenue, Saltney; Erblind Rexhaj, aged 33,
of Downham Place, Chester; Bleart Kobilja,
aged 22, of Moss Lane, Prenton; Edmund
Rexhaj, aged 36, of New Street, Mold.
Three remaining suspects have all been
released under investigation pending further
enquiries. They include two men from
Chester, aged 33 and 29, and a 43-year-old
man from the Wirral.

Improvements at the Ship Inn

A Handbridge pub is undergoing a £100,000

with Jane

Skincare
Bryant,
from the
Hough Green
Clinic

As I mentioned last month Hough Green
Clinic has recently introduced the all British
MEDIK8 Skincare into the clinic. The basis of
the MEDIK8 is CSA. Vitamin C in the morning,
Sunscreen in the day and Vitamin
A in the evening.
Vitamin A is vital for preventing the
breakdown of collagen and goes hand
in hand with Vitamin C. Treatment with
Vitamin A at night is recommended
from early in your twenties as from
the age of 25 we lose 1% of collagen
annually.
Vitamin C is one of the most powerful
vitamins for preventing premature ageing. It is an
exceptional antioxidant as it stabilises cells. It is essential
for the synthesis of collagen. It disrupts the melanin
synthesis pathway so is excellent for pigmentation
problems and prevention of sun spots and uneven
pigmentation. Vitamin C visibly plumps
and the firms the complexion while
improving the overall look of skin tone and
amplifying luminosity.
MEDIK8 C-Tetra Antioxidant Cream
with SPF30 is the perfect all-in-one
moisturiser and sunscreen that boosts
radiance for that sought-after healthy glow.
MEDIK8 pride themselves as the
experts in Vitamin A, understanding its

exceptional importance to the skin. This
powerful molecule not only resurfaces
the skin, but also combats fine lines and
wrinkles, promotes a brighter, more
even-toned complexion. It increases
collagen and prevents its breakdown.
Vitamin A also reduces sebum
production to help minimise blemish
formation.
The Vitamin A creams and serums are
formulated with advanced Time Release
technology systems. This ensures
that Vitamin A is delivered in small
doses throughout the night that won’t
overwhelm the skin. Use the cream twice
a week for the first 2 weeks. Every other
night for a further 2 weeks then every
night.
This recommendation of introducing
Vitamin gradually into the skin will
prevent a spike of inflammatory response.
Start low, go slow.
The MEDIK8 range is 100% vegan. It
is 100% paraben free. They never test on
animals and never ask any other company
to test on their behalf. The company
wants animal testing banned worldwide,
forever.
MEDIK8 believe in “green chemistry”.
The science of making products using
energy efficient processes. Their
buildings are run from 100% renewable
energy sources. Their packaging is eco-
friendly.
MEDIK8 has a wide range of cleansers,
eye creams, and specific serums for
rosacea.

Practically brilliant science
Scientifically-minded students in the STEM Club made their own non-newtonian fluids using corn
starch, designed practicals to investigate how different seed shapes disperse and others dissected hearts
for biology week. During engineers’ week, students tested their teamwork and problem-solving skills
to construct the tallest freestanding skyscraper that could support a weight! Congratulations to Year 9
students Sienna, Kaitlin Hannah and Amelia who won the challenge with an impressive 98cm!

Quadratics, factors
and risky dice!
Dr Sally Bamber, from Chester University, came
into school to work with maths students in
years 7, 8 and 10, solving quadratic equations,
game theory and number factors.
Mathematicians stay ahead of the game
The most talented GCSE mathematicians have
been busy studying for their Further Maths
exam with extra classes on topics such as
the equation of a circle, differentiation and
trigonometric identities, which are normally
done at A Level.
Sixth former is a
media sensation
Year 12 student Leah Davies has been recognised
by Chester Football Club (CFC) for her invaluable
contribution to the success of Chester FC’s
Volunteers week. She devoted countless hours
of her own time to work with CFC’s media team
to produce a compilation of promotional videos
which celebrate the amazing work of the army of
volunteers at the club.
Kieron Shiel, director of volunteering & IT at the
club, said “The production is excellent. They have
really captured the mood of the club we were
aiming for as well as creating a social media buzz
for the club and its volunteers. Leah is clearly a
talented individual and a credit to the school.”
The strange case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde
The English department took 89 Year 11
students to Storyhouse to experience Glyn
Maxwell’s new version of ‘The Strange Case of
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ to help with their study
of Stevenson’s work.

Lache garage site to become allotments
A housing association is turning an old garage site in the Lache into community allotments.
Sanctuary Housing is offering people the chance to start growing their own fruit and vegetables in
the Growing Spaces initiative at venues across the city, including Oxford Road, in Lache.
The sites offer local residents of all ages an opportunity to grow their own produce, with support
and training available to help them get started and develop their skills.
Ria Burns, Sanctuary’s neighbourhood partnership manager, said: “The Growing Spaces project
encourages anyone from complete beginners to experienced growers to get involved and make
use of these wonderful green spaces in our local neighbourhoods.
“There are lots of benefits to joining our growing community. It’s great exercise and a wonderful
opportunity to make new friends and learn new
skills. Whatever you’re interested in growing,
from potatoes to parsley or carrots to coriander,
we’d love to hear from you.”
