Here&#8217;s a recent photo of her training at <a href=\"\/destinations\/marrakech-morocco\/\">Palais Paysan<\/a> on an in:spa retreat earlier this year. If that wasn&#8217;t enough, we thought we would put her on the spot and ask her a few questions so you could find out a bit more about her:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you always been interested in keeping fit and healthy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always been in to sport&#8230; after doing Sports Studies at university I wasn&#8217;t sure what to do, that&#8217;s where I got into the fitness industry. Nothing better than having a job doing what you love!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you play any sports at school?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just a few: hockey, netball, athletics, tennis, squash, badminton, lacrosse&#8230; rounders!!! I even tried rugby at university (epic fail on that front).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a favourite gym exercise?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lunges &#8211; get those glutes firing! (Bums)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you rather workout in a gym or in a park?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Park! Everytime!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your go to breakfast when you know you have a hard day ahead?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eggs &#8211; boiled &#8211; oh, or Miranda, one of the amazing in:spa chefs, does the best scrambled eggs in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favourite post-workout drink\/meal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fish cakes!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have to invite a sports personality to dinner, who would you invite?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well a few &#8211; any excuse for a party!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jonny Wilkinson &#8211; cutie and world cup hero \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>Paula Radcliff &#8211; awesome runner, and she also seems so nice.<\/li>\n<li>Lance Armstrong in 2013 &#8211; I\u2019d love to quiz him about the Tour, drugs, etc&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Jessica Ennis &#8211; in 2012 she was awesome at the Olympics.<\/li>\n<li>Freddie Flintoff &#8211; he makes me giggle!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What would you cook if for them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thai Green curry with prawns &#8211; yummy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any advice for a fitness newbie, or somebody coming back to fitness after some time off?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Try lots of new things, and focus on things you enjoy; variation is key! If you know you hate running, you know you won\u2019t stick at it. Avoid things you hate otherwise you will give up. Exercise should be fun!<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re a keen marathon and half marathon runner, what are your top tips?<\/p>\n<p>Squats, lunges and core exercises! People still have no idea the positives these give to your running. My fastest Marathon was done with the least running of my life &#8211; it was teaching legs, bums and tums classes and sports conditioning classes that did it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you do to relax after a busy day at work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>See my buddies and chill out with them. A nice meal and a cheeky vino might be consumed too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favourite type of holiday, and where?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Something with a bit of adventure, must be warm, outdoors stuff always good. The Dolomites in the summer is pretty stunning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any vices?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mozarella cheese &#8211; I can&#8217;t open a pack and not eat the lot! Sauvignon Blanc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a favourite quote or mantra?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Go Go Go<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the best advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t hold back<\/p>\n<p>Life &#8211; Don&#8217;t live a little &#8211; Live A LOT!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you do when you\u2019re not working on our in:spa retreats?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I run Quit the Gym: fun outdoor fitness classes based in Ealing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kath Beesley is a long standing in:spa personal trainer and very popular with our guests.
