Peta from Strong Healthy Women and I chat about stretching. Why you should do it? What exactly it does for your body and how to incorporate it into your daily life.

Of course we have a bit of a laugh and confess that we didn't start until we were both quite old. Listen in to understand how this is one of the habits you should be making for yourself.

A trainer with a difference that is exactly what Alison McGrath is. As a woman with a lifetime of experiences, Alison's approach is to bring all that she has learned in life together. With this she is able to help other women who are still working to get the very best out of their lives and themselves. After her initial career in the fitness industry Alison went off and pursued a career in corporate and small business becoming extremely successful but also undergoing the highs and lows of that life. It was one of these lows that finally made her realise she wanted to go back to working with women to help them be fit and healthy even if they too are in stressful and high powered jobs. We talk all things fitness and how hard it can be as a woman to make time for yourself. We also go a little down memory lane and chat about aerobics classes and her intention to reintroduce retro classes complete with leotards.
