Get In Touch With Your Senses
Touch. One of the five senses. Arguably the sense we take most for granted. Touch is not only a sense, but along with food and shelter, it is a basic human necessity. Without it, we do no exist. It is unfortunate that our society has become increasingly guarded due to the overload of negative touch, but the benefits of positive touch to health, and healing, are unparalleled: touch can relax, comfort and reassure. Physically touching can relieve pain as it increases the amount of immune cells in the body. Emotionally, and mentally, it can relieve stress and anxiety, reduce depression as well as having positive and uplifting affects on behaviour and moods.

The Mystery Of Weight Management
Tim and Leon Gold know a thing or two about keeping fit, maintaining a good fitness regime, nutrition and pretty much everything else that comes with living a healthy, balanced life. The TimGold Fitness concept that brought them to Ibiza has become one of the most popular personal training services on the island, with clients from all over the island dropping into their villa gym for a session. Having experienced their techniques previously, the Essential team listens whenever they offer any kind of training or eating advice so when they told us they had a new system that could work out an individuals metabolism, we felt it our duty to share this information with you…

For those of you who might not be familiar with the name Colin Butts (where have you been living!) he is possibly best know for novel ‘Is Harry On The Boat’, that was later made into film before becoming a TV series. Two subsequent novels followed, ‘Is Harry Still On The Boat?’ and ‘A Bus Could Run You Over’. He is also one of the men behind successful San An bars Plastik and newly named Pukka Up Bar, not to mention the soon to be opened Plastik Beach in Playa D’en Bossa. For those who are familiar with Colin, you will have no doubt giggled uncontrollably at some of his Facebook rants at one point, like we have. We thought it was about time his razor sharp wit was shared with our community. In the first of a series of ‘ifs & butts’ bloggs, Colin deals with his Facebook addiction and subsequent tourettes…

Detox Rocks!
Three juices into the seven day detox and I’m feeling remarkably fresh, no hunger pangs as such so far, just finished the first training session and still in one piece. Victor thinks that the exercise has gone to my head and I’m making words up but I’m assuring him ‘pangs’ is a legitimate word! MWellness in Santa Eularia is the Gym that not only makes the delicious and nutritious juices that will be feasting on for the next seven days but also the place that Brian Talbot, chef/personal fitness trainer, will be putting us through our paces over the next 12 weeks. As you can see from the before pictures, some of us need a bit more work than others oh and before anyone asks, yes i do sometimes take my top off in the sun, I’m Scottish it takes me the month to go from blue to white!

Back In The Game
After a week back in the UK, where i did no training but did watch what i was eating, and then the debacle of forgetting to reset my clock to Spanish time and missing the Wednesday session – fail – it was time to get back down to business and what better way to reintegrate myself to the training group than with Aqua Spin. Yes, you heard me correctly, aqua spin, on specially designed Italian bikes, in the pool for 50 mins of gruelling but enjoyable and ultimately satisfying graft to a soundtrack that verged on the pink and fluffy at times before morphing into some nineties rock before the dreaded 2 million beats per minute drum & Bass! 50 mins in the gym after spin and i’m good to go, no guesses what i’ll be walking like for the next couple of days but it feels good to get back into it. 2 boiled eggs and a fruit infused salad to follow before Ibiza old town for dinner tonight. Life sucks! Have a great weekend slackers! Oh and for those that are thinking it, i am not in the toilet in my profile pic, it’s the weigh in, shame on you!
