    Stretching in the Sky: My Introduction To Yoga.

    June 27, 2017

    When it comes to appointments, sessions, classes, clients and even social events, I’m a very on time person. In my mind “on time” has a sub-clause which is “with five-ten minutes to spare”. Even being one minute late triggers quite a lot of irrational anxiety that is disproportionate the situation. It just stresses me out. Bizarrely, however, when it comes to crazes and trends I’m very late off the mark. Constantly. Whether it’s an actual fashion trend, and up-and-coming musician, or a fancy new place to go in town, I always seem to have a little bit of a delay compared to other people. It took me aaaaages to clamber…

    Best Lower-Body Post Workout Stretches

    October 22, 2016

    Last week’s FlexFriday post was all about stretching: what it is, why it’s important and how flexibility training (a.k.a. stretches) can help to increase your overall fitness. As promised, this week I’m sharing three of my favourite stretches. I decided to focus on the lower body, specifically legs, hips and glutes, because these are three areas that are constantly overworked and can cause a whole range of injuries when they’re not stretched out properly. Each of these stretches should be held for approximately 10-15 seconds (if you’re looking to maintain your current flexibility) or 20-30 seconds (if you’re looking to develop your flexibility further). Adductor Stretch Level: Easy This stretch…

    Why you Should Never Forget to Stretch

    October 14, 2016

    I deliberately scheduled this post for “FlexFriday”  (as it is now known amongst avid hashtaggers) to draw attention to an aspect of fitness that is ridiculously important, yet categorically ignored. Flex doesn’t just stand for strength – it also stands for Flexibility. Coming from a dance background, I was brought up in an environment that valued flexibility above pretty much anything else. In the ballet world, a large proportion of each class is dedicated to improving and increasing the students’ flexibility, both at the end of barre, and at the end of the class too. As you get older and move up the grades, you get a routine telling off…

Nice to Meet You

I’m Roslyn, a Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor, Bookworm and Ballet-lover, currently living in Sydney, Australia.

FlexFit Dance started out as a Fitness Blog, but it has recently come to be so much more than that. It’s my little space on the internet for everything from book-reviews to workouts to travel diaries, to any of those random thoughts inside my head.

I hope you enjoy it!
