AFFILIATE PARTNER FEATURE PGPT Get out more! By Peter Gaffney With the good weather fast approaching, it’s a great time to take your exercise outdoors. This is a great opportunity to take in the fresh air and some vitamin D from the sunshine in your garden or a local park. The great thing about exercising outdoors is that it’s free and there’s enough space to do it with friends to make the experience more fun, and even competitive. Exercise doesn’t have to be a chore and it doesn’t have to take up your whole day. Exercising outdoors can be daunting and we understand that, so here is our guide to a great workout, using nothing but your surroundings, your bodyweight and maybe a mat. Start off by warming up. By elevating your heartrate you increase your body’s potential to burn fat, and help to avoid injury by loosening your muscles. Start with a jog for a minute, take up the speed for another minute then flick those heels up towards your bottom. Finish off with a minute of high knees (knees to chest) and then a final minute of jogging…make sure you’re really pumping your arms while you do it. We recommend interval training. There’s nothing better at burning calories and keeping them burning for the next day or two. This type of high intensity training will trigger the EPOC effect. This stands for ‘Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption’. During your recovery period your metabolism is elevated due to the increased intake of oxygen into the body following strenuous exercise. This can continue for up to 38 hours following high intensity exercise, meaning your daily energy expenditure is increased and more calories are burnt for longer. Time yourself for one minute and complete the following: Burpees, tricep dips (using a bench or wall), press ups, squat jumps, a plank and hill sprints. Repeat this routine three times. Follow up with a good stretch. So simple, yet ever so affective! This routine will take no more than 30 minutes, so put on your trainers and give it a go. I guarantee you’ll have a clearer head, less stress and feel fitter in no time!

Whilst we have done all we can to satisfy the need for Meningitis B vaccinations, we are also mindful of the impact this has had on our service for other patients. When the sad story broke about a child fatality from Meningitis B, the Bexsero ® vaccine was in short supply as the manufacturer temporarily withdrew stock from the open market. JDoc365 nevertheless managed to maintain a regular supply and, as word spread, our telephone lines quickly became overwhelmed with calls from concerned parents trying to arrange for their children to be vaccinated. Despite setting up a dedicated line and hiring additional staff to cope with the volume of calls, some JDoc365 customers were unable to get through before being re- re-directed to our message service. We are sorry if you were inconvenienced by the temporary disruption this situation caused, and that you will find our normally excellent reception service is back to its best the next time you call. Please be assured that all JDoc365 staff and doctors are working tirelessly to ensure that our service and care are not compromised in any way. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
