HIIT, Yoga, Pilates, repeat
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 26/01/2021

It's two weeks since finishing radiotherapy, I've been more motivated to complete my daily exercises as the more you do, the less side effects you have! I've only had minimal fatigue but nothing too drastic yet! 
 

Over the past few weeks I've taken part in morning HIIT training, yoga evening classes, booty barre classes and Pilates. On the weekend it snowed and I even managed a snowball fight and hike, which definitely got my blood pumping! 
 

Only a few more sessions left and lots planned. I'm forever grateful for exercising, releasing endorphins and pushing myself to complete them for such an amazing cause as well as my general health and well-being🤩💕

I can't thank you all enough for your generous donations and kind comments, I really am grateful.

Much love,

Nat🥰



Walkabouts!
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 18/01/2021

Hi everyone! Just over halfway through January's 30 day challenge and I'm loving it so far! I've walked ALOT! Pilates, barre, home workouts and stretch classes have all been added to my daily exercise regimes and I've explored new routes around my local area in the rain, hail, frosty mornings and winter sun✅
 

My body is definitely feeling the burn but Epsom salt baths and the stretch classes have been helping drastically. If there's an exercise class/sport you'd like to nominate me for let me know (obviously given the circumstances)! Today is a barre class and in prep I'm stretching and relaxing 💪🏻🤸🏽‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️
 

If you are yet to donate, the link is on my Instagram profile page💕 thanks to those of you who are continuing to support me. Much love to you all🥰

 

Love, 

Nat☃️



Romeo done!
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 13/01/2021

Yesterday was an overwhelming day! I completed my last day of radiotherapy!!! So thrilled it's done after 4 weeks of daily sessions. Exercising has dramatically helped my wellbeing and in my opinion has reduced my side effects by staying active! 

I did a Pilates full body 45 minute class yesterday and today was a home workout provided by genesis care! I'll be very achy tomorrow so an Epsom salt bath is on the cards!

Lastly, I am truly grateful for everyone's donations and passing the £2,000 halfway through the month! Hoping to double this if I can as that would be absolutely amazing and for such a wonderful cause! 
 

Sending love,

Weekend strolls
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 11/01/2021

My first full week of exercising and I feel good!! This weekend I walked a total of 5 hours over 2 days and it was so worth it. Lots of calories burned, energy levels up and by the end of it sore legs!

Today was my penultimate session of radiotherapy, one more to go and I'm done!! 20 sessions down and one to complete 🙌🏼🙌🏼 
 

My home workout provided by Genesis Care included a little bit of upper body and legs focused. No doubt I'll have DOMS tomorrow but I'm glad I completed it✅
 

Tomorrow is a virtual Pilates class.. will post an update midweek.

Sending love, healing and health all around the world🥰 CANT THANK EVERYONE ENOUGH FOR MY DONATIONS❤️❤️



Home workout & walk
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 08/01/2021

7 days in!!! Woop! Today I did a 20 minute home workout which consisted on rebuilding my upper body strength and abs. Definitely have DOMS from yesterday's Pilates but feeling good! Also took Gio for a 40 minute walk and it was 0 degrees. BRING ON THE SNOW!

 



Puggle Pilates
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 07/01/2021

7 full days of exercises.. completed it!!! Feeling strong (also achy) from all of the different classes/woodland walks and stretches I've been completing ✅🥳

Today we (gio supervised) did a full body Pilates class as you can see from the concentration on my face (IT WAS HARD). 
 

Feeling the love from everyone's donations, messages and support! Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️
 

Stay well, 

Nat xx



Teddy bear walks!
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 06/01/2021

The sun is shining, it's a lovely day! My brother and I walked Gio through the fields, along the teddy bear walk and around the park. We walked up hills, through muddy paths and I did squats everytime Gio stopped to pee (he does this a lot)!! All this in fresh white trainers (fail)🙈

After today's radiotherapy session I will also complete a mini home workout to keep my body active and strengthen my injured leg💪🏻♥️

Hope everyone is doing well through lockdown 3 for those of you in the UK. 
 

Stay safe, 

Nat xx 
 

 



Come rain or shine!
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 05/01/2021

After yesterday's one hour workout and all the aches today, I decided the best thing to do was walk it out. My puggle Gio joined me and we walked in the light showers around the local area (because lockdown 3 and all that). Despite the drizzle, it was nice to get some fresh air into my lungs! Even if I now have an extra bit of frizz to my hair 💁🏻‍♀️

I also completed physio exercises for a small injury which also breaks a sweat💪🏻😃

LOVING YOUR MESSAGES, DONATIONS AND POSITIVITY! Keep spreading love, not corona (shit joke from me but you smiled)🙃

Barre workouts ft Rach!
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 04/01/2021

Shoutout to my lovely friend Rachel, for virtually working out with me today 💪🏻 We completed a forty minute full body barre workout via a virtual class, followed by a stretch exercise class. Body. Is. Aching. But sooooo worth it... day 4 coming in strong and it's my last full week of radiotherapy this week🙌🏼🥰FEELING GOOD

Will definitely need some Epsom salts in my bath today!



Winter walks & runs
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 03/01/2021

I am loving being outside in the fresh air at the moment! There's something great about wrapping up and walking/running until you are hot and de-layering. Today, my dog and I walked for 20 minutes around the local area and then did a light jog for 10 minutes... he is losing weight and I am keeping fit so this works well together. I also took part in a virtual 1 hour stretch exercise class- so far so good for day 3! 
 

Much love to those that have already sponsored me, fully appreciate it and loving all the comments and love shared. This not only helps me but it's a fantastic way to support others who are diagnosed with Breast Cancer everyday.



Paw patrol
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 02/01/2021

We did a 5km walk around my area and through the park with my dog! Very fresh, lots of people exercising and kids playing in the park. Feeling good💪🏻



Day 1 of my 30 day challenge
Natalie Nicolaou / Posted: 01/01/2021

Day 1 of my #30daychallenge I completed a full body Pilates exercise. My pooch Gio was supervising and making sure I was completing the exercises correctly- see below for some lols! 
 

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, fully grateful for you and roll on January👏🏻💪🏻👌🏼
