About TallowUnlike anything on the high street, skincare made with animal fats nourishes and heals in a way that plant based products could never do! Animal fats have a beautiful synergy with human skin and the benefits are seen almost immediately. The unique fatty acid profile of animal fats means that your skin gets high doses of Vitamins A, D, E, K and are packed with anti-oxidants; all in their natural form. Unlike plant oils, animal fats are not prone to rancidity and they have an exceptionally long shelf life without the need for harsh preservatives or chemical emulsifiers. Plus you will never find an unpronounceable chemical or questionable ingredient on the ingredients lists. Breaking Down Tallow's Benefits Let's delve into the specifics of why tallow is causing waves in the skincare world. First and foremost, its fatty acid composition closely mirrors that of the skin, ensuring optimal absorption and integration. This unique characteristic makes it a boon for all skin types – from oily and acne-prone to dry and sensitive. Tallow offers deep hydration without clogging pores or leaving behind a greasy residue. It's a natural moisturiser that works in harmony with your skin's inherent needs. Additionally, tallow is packed with fat-soluble vitamins each playing a crucial role in maintaining skin health. Vitamin A aids in skin regeneration, Vitamin D supports skin immunity, Vitamin E acts as a potent antioxidant, Vitamin K contributes to the reduction of inflammation and discoloration. It's An Easy Non-toxic SolutionAs someone who struggled with standard skincare products in search of something that wouldn't cause chemical reactions on my face, leave my skin inflamed, irritated and burning. I'm thankful I found Tallow. It's done wonders for my skin and for my overall heath (but that's of another converstaion) It's genuinely been the BEST investment I have ever made and I've never looked back since . So whether your someone who is suffering from skin sensitivity or if you're embarking on your non-toxic journey and want to invest in your health then I highly recommend switching to Tallow.

Speak soon, Natalie 🙋🏼♀️ I feel now, more than ever, that people are disconnected from what it means to have a movement & training practice that will support there health and well-being. We know that humans are designed to move! Why does there seem to be a physical decline? I wanted to take a look back through fitness history to paint a picture and potentially provoke your approach and way of thinking towards fitness, health and how & why you choose to move. The History Of Physical FitnessI am starting from the 20th century, as this marked the rise of specialised, competitive sports, as well as the emergence of a well organised and thriving “fitness” market and industry. At the very beginning of the 20th century, Georges Hebert developed and promoted his “Natural Method,” another Frenchman, Professor Edmond Desbonnet, managed to make physical exercise and strength training fashionable through the publication of fitness journals and by opening a chain of exercise clubs. This laid a strong foundation for physical culture in Europe, but also for “fitness” as an industry.
Over the course of a century, thousands of methods and programs have emerged, all promising to get you in the best shape of your life in the quickest amount of time possible The Current State of Physical Culture: Lost in FitnessA Thought Provoking Excerpt From The Article Written By MovNat founder Erwan Le Corre.
Which bring’s me to the point of writing and sharing this blog! Through our own involvement in the fitness industry, mixing with different fitness and movement cultures all over the world, our self practices, experinces and personal training experimentations. It has come so ever more prevalent, that this mass evolution in fitness, has caused an overwhelming misunderstanding of what its means to be fit & healthy. 'I feel now, more than ever, that people are disconnected from what it means, to have a movement & training practice that will support there health and well-being.' In some instances it has become more of a chore, a type of punishment that forces you into guilt tripping the ever needing desire, for all of the transformation promises made. A counter-intuitive mindset to have, on how movement and training should be approached? There is so much information out there, often leaving an overwhelming feeling of confusion on what is the ‘right way’ to lead a 'healthy lifestyle' or how you should be moving your own body? 'This very problem, is what is causing, a lack of self connection to know and understand what, YOU need to support yourself as a whole. Keeping you on the hamster wheel of movement un-satisfaction.' The most common perception or belief of what it means to be fit, and the primary motivation for exercising, is to look fit! It is no longer about feeling good, having a healthy body that can actually move well. Not forgetting the abundance of longterm benefit's that moving our bodies has on our biological system. There is too much emphasis and validation for quick fixes, short term results, which all fail to provide important foundations or pillars that create's a sustainable movement & training practice. And ultimately has a fundamental role to play, in having a healthier way of life: 1) The mindset & movement relationship 2) The value & the benefits of having a longterm process We understand the enjoyment of doing fitness for fitness sake. But at the cost of your health, is where we believe there needs to be a new approach taken. Our MessageNow before we go any further, it is important to state that we are not here to tell you how you should eat, move or live your life. However we do want to share our success's in the hope that it will help you to find your sweet spot, your daily motivation to get up and want move your body and celebrate it. Most importantly learn to understand what it is that YOU need, on a day by day basis and what that looks like, longterm. Our message is about educating you on 'Movement for Health' That means having a holistic approach to physical health. This starts with having a better understanding of how each of the part's connect to support you as a whole.

Join & learn more here: www.kinisifiit.com Conclusion'I truly believe that if people changed their mindset & movement relationship. Started to rethink how they choose to move their body on a daily basis. Had more of a longterm strategy in place, that gave them, the ongoing support & freedom to move. Decondition themselves from believing that they need to be constantly chasing the sweat & pushing harder for superior results. And realised that by creating better movement values, relationships & standards with realistic outcomes. Offers a way of life that is healthier both mentally, physically & beyond.' I truly hope this message resonate with you. If it does, then that's your sign to start investing in your Movement For health & your longevity strategy that will build strength and resilience for both body and mind.

Bone Broth For RecoveryWhat is Bone Broth Bone broth is full of collagen, gelatine and amino acids like glycine, which can all assist with things common amongst those who lead active lifestyles like healing soft tissue injuries and digestive stress; bone broth also helps to replace electrolytes, which is another reason why many people use it pre/post workout. We spoke to Natalie Constanti, a fitness instructor and trainer who trains extensively every week about how she and her partner use bone broth and intermittent fasting for fitness recovery. Recover Smart As fitness professionals, we lead very active lifestyles from teaching weekly fitness classes, travelling to teach workshops and on top of that we workout intensively multiple times a week. With such active lifestyles, we need to make sure that we prioritise our recovery methods to ensure that we invest in ourselves. There are multiple ways to help recovery from ensuring you get quality sleep, good nutrition from quality sourced ingredients, daily breath work and movement. In addition to these things, we like to use bone broth as part of our weekly recovery protocol. We know that bone broth provides the building blocks for repair, as it is full of gelatine, collagen and amino acids which are all essential components for recovery. After an intense workout, you'll want to replace electrolytes, hydrate, and provide your body with a quality source of protein. Drinking bone broth supports your digestion and immunity, and the natural collagen and glycine may assist with soft tissue recovery. We prefer to drink a bone broth after a workout, sometime's fasted (read below why) and we aim for twice a week. Unless we have home made a batch, then it probably going to be drink it everyday! Alternatively you can drink it with your meal, before bed for a good nights sleep or just as a hot yummy drink of pure goodness. Training Fasting & Bone Broth One of the things we have found from research is to drink bone broth in conjunction when either intermittent fasting or after more prolonged fasts. There are many benefits of fasting, such as Autophagy - the recycling of cells, and also breaking a fast with bone broth. But there is an important reason why you want to break a fast with bone broth! After fasting, you increase your insulin sensitivity and decrease insulin overall in the body. So when you eat, your body will attach and hold onto anything you consume, making you more sensitive to the nutrients. By breaking your fast with bone broth, it means that you can utilise all of the benefits that bone broth has to offer - you are in a prime position to get the quality nutrients and quality natural collagen, as you can absorb and utilise them a lot better. Conclusion The term ‘superfood’ gets thrown around a lot, but in the case of bone broth we believe it’s true! From improving your gut health, strengthening your immune system and helping to reduce inflammation, bone broth helps in reaping those all important recovery gains, especially as part of a balanced lifestyle. There are definitely some natural bio hacks habits that we will not be giving up on anytime soon and one of them is drinking a cup of bone broth. You really cant beat the old school health hacks that have been around for millennia. The benefits one reaps, goes far beyond any other health hack, in fact you get more bang for you buck in our opinion (which we will delve into in another blog) Recommendations
When shopping for bone broth we highly recommend the following brands
Alternatively you can make your own which is cheaper and not difficult to make. We would suggest experimenting with making your own and see what works best for you. Good Day Folks Today is the day we get to share some exciting news with you all. And guess what, you too get to benefit from it. In-fact more specifically, your foot health and over-well-being will thank you for it. Kinisi Fit Ltd is happy to announce our new brand collaboration with Bohempia. This is a brand new barefoot company who are leading the way with there barefoot shoe collection but this time where fashion meets barefoot function! As you know we are both HUGE advocates of barefoot shoes, having wore them for well over a decade and educating on the benefits of barefoot shoes. Part 1 - Let's Talk Foot HealthYour foot consists of 10 tendons 19 muscles 26 bones 33 joints 107 ligaments Approx 200,000 nerv endings Feet have carried humans through life without additional support for thousands of years. The need for constant foot support in the form of stiff shoes is a modern plague, and one that largely affects the developed world. But we know that feet aren’t fundamentally flawed. Rather our modern lifestyles are. Excessive sitting combined with restrictive shoes from an early age put a real damper on our ability to move freely. You see, your feet are engineered for movement & sensory feedback, so why would you want to lose this and put them into foot coffins for the sake of fashion! Our feet are our foundation and play a massive role in everything we do from a movement perspective. They are involved in many humans things we do, from walking, running, skipping, jumping, absorbing, balancing, lifting, squatting etc. And the function of our feet has a HUGE impact on our bodies. There is a kinetic chain running from our big toes, through our arch, up our legs and into the hips and spine that affects everything we do as humans. Yet are often neglected and tucked away in un-foot shaped shoes which often lead to poor foot mechanics and foot health as they can’t truly perform as a human foot is designed to.
Part 2 - Fashion Meets Function For all our fashion conscious lovers out there. We are happy to share with you a new brand called Bohempia barefoot shoes who are leading the way with there barefoot shoe collection but this time where fashion meets barefoot function. Not only that but Bohempia are made from hemp - which makes them an environmentally friendly sustainable option! As hemp is a renewable resource that is naturally strong, breathable, and antimicrobial. So the shoes are not harmful to the environment, or to your body! Yes, it’s time to throw away your narrow cult classic’s like converse and vans as they have the perfect replacement for stylish sneakers, that will look just as cool but without the squished toes! 'Personally, I have long been searching for barefoot alternatives to those brand names and Bohempia has done just that.' Part 3- Benefits of wearing Barefoot Bohempia Shoes:
2) No rubbing or blisters from wearing the sneaker 3) How much connection & feedback there is in relation to the floor.
ConclusionBohempia is the place to look if you want a barefoot shoe that looks like a classic sneaker. You get to look good, feel good, and have a clean conscious, thanks to their sustainable materials and ethical manufacturing. Checkout there website Here SAVE 10% Used Code: kinisifit10 Speak soon
