Hello and wecome to my new health and fitness blog. I’m going to start off talking and writing about crossfit, as this is the newest craze in my life at the moment. I’ll start off by posting a bunch of stuff I’ve found useful on crossfit. I’m currently going to sessions at the centre in Alexandria, and I have to say that the facilities and trainers there are awesome.
Keep posted for an introduction to crossfit.
Keep well

I found this great performance by the LA philharmonic of the Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin with Herbie Hancock and Dudamel. You can see what an outstanding performance this is of a classic.
Rhapsody in Blue is probably the most renowned of American George Gershwin’s compositions, and it a blend of classical and jazz styles. Solo piano with Herbie Hancock and jazz ‘band’ lead by Gustavo Dudamel, this is a real delight.
This is definitely one of the classics and one of my very earliest joys in music. I remember listening to this music when I was quite young and being fascinated by it. This particular performance is great, and Hancock seems to be really enjoying himself with the orchestra and Dudamel. I hope you enjoy it.

I saw this great teaser video on the nature section of the pbs website. This short video looks at bears in Alaska and gets you seriously thinking about survival of these wonderful animals. It also got me thinking about our footprint and global warming and the impact we are having on our planet.
Alex Simring Superfoods
This blog will outline how to achieve optimal digestive health. The term “superfood” has become increasingly popular, and refers to all foods which are packed full of nutritional content. The most important principles of superfoods is that they are plant based whole foods, full of colour and anti-oxidants, and brimming with micro-nutrients. These foods are best consumed while seasonal to maximise nutritional content. Try to purchase foods from local organic markets, not only to support the this great industry, but also to make sure that food is fresh and sustainable. Cut out all processed foods which have had chemicals and preservatives added for convenience and to increase shelf life. Stick to these immune boosting superfoods and expect to develop optimal digestive health.
