Summer’s just around the corner, which means that for a good number of us, we’ll soon be dreaming up weird and wonderful ways of spending time in the great outdoors. These al fresco pursuits are fantastic fun when the sun’s shining, but with the introduction of little indoor work, you can take your enjoyment to the next level.

Triathlon Cycle Training

09 May 2012

The bike leg comes in the middle of a triathlon and is generally the bit people look forward to most. There is none of the stress of getting dunked during the swim or the worry about completing the run - just jump on the bike and you’ll be off and running before you know it – what could be easier?

Active Matters

Follow our step-by-step guide to transform yourself from Grinch to Goddess this festive season! After you've been pampered and polished you'll be well and truly ready for a night out with the girls!

The party season’s here and it’s time for a great night out. But how are we supposed to look fabulous – not flustered – in between all our other festive duties?

Help is at hand with HeavenV Spa.

Are you ready for your girl's night out?

First things first: de-fuzz. Your legs have been covered up for far too long. Book in a wax at least 48 hours before your party to give yourself time to pamper your pins with dreamy creams after your treatment (prices start from £12).

Next? Remove any dead skin by exfoliating with a Passion Fruit Body Polish (£12). Then choose one of our Fake Bake products (from £22) to give your body a much-needed healthy glow. And while your tan’s drying, why not treat your twinkle toes to our Jessica Bedazzled Nail Varnish (£8.95)?

On the big night, prep your skin with one of our ESPA Collections (we’ll find a kit especially for you – from £12.50). Sparkle like a star with Bare Escentual’s id Mineral High Shine Eye Colour (£15) and give your lips pout-power with some Buxom Lip Gloss (£18).

Oh – and before you leave, don’t forget to give yourself a quick spritz of Body Silk Spray (£26) for an all-over flawless finish!

Sounds perfect but don’t have the time to DIY? (Or maybe you just deserve a bit of TLC). Book an appointment today and let us take care of everything for you!

Yoga triples the time that men last in bed

You’ve probably heard that yoga’s great for slashing stress levels, building strength and getting toned triceps like Jennifer Aniston. But did you know there’s an even bigger benefit? A study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that guys who practised yoga for 12 weeks tripled the length of time they lasted in bed –from 7.3 minutes to 22. Om-azing! So now you just need to find the style of yoga that suits you (or your man) best. Luckily we’re here to help.

Yoga Scorpion Sequence

This is a great workout for the whole body, improving flexibility while helping you become stronger. There are 3 main movements – the Downward-Facing Dog, the Scorpion and the Upward-Facing Dog.

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

At some point in our lives, almost all of us have made the decision to get into shape. Less promisingly, though, the vast majority of us have swiftly followed this up by sliding back into our familiar old ways. Staying motivated is tough – but it needn’t be.

Giving it a Tri

The Virgin Active London Triathlon rolls into town on the weekend of 22nd-23rd September. While we all know that there’s a swim, a cycle and a run involved, for a lot of us, this is pretty much all we know about the sport.
