ACTIVE INSPIRATION

How have I kept active? Quite simply… by doing what I love, setting goals, and eating ice cream. A lot of ice cream.

I have a passion for some of the more extreme watersports including kitesurfing, wakeboarding, jet skiing and scuba diving.

I find that walking has become a great way to unwind, and think about life.It has definitely made me more aware of the environment and just to appreciate life.

My name is Kate Airey -wife, mum, friend and founder of Nurtured Warrior, a health and wellness community. I’m an ordinary girl choosing to lead an extraordinary life.

We’ve spent time exploring and learning through play as a family, walking, running, and discovering. I do hope you enjoy learning a little more about me!

I have been spending as much time outdoors as possible, walking my dog Alfie, going swimming, mountain biking, having BBQs, camping, and much more.

For many students, myself included, a big part of sport is the social aspect, so keeping up the motivation to stay active on my own has been tough.

I thought lockdown was going to give me the chance to slow down and reflect, boy was I wrong. Me being me I did my usual 'slowing' down and simply transferred it into a whole load of different activities.

When people think Trail Running they think mud, they think hills, and they probably think hard work. Honestly, it's all those amazing things and much much more.

The global situation over the passed few months as flipped everyones lives upside down - this is my story (the short version)!

Keeping active is one of the best things you can do to ensure you are staying healthy and pro-active, even if it’s just going on a walk.

Life is so much better when you’re active. Fun is to be had, memories are made, adventures are taken, no matter how big or small.

I’m trying to keep active and improve and learn skills while making the most of this time. I want to inspire you to do the same.

I have spent 12+ years getting people active around the world, now I teach students to be coaches, health and fitness professionals at a local university on specialist module.
