Langley’s Country Club inside the stunning 5* Aberconwy Resort and Spa are proud to announce their new addition, The HIIT Room. A room that will give you the chance to ramp up your normal routine or perhaps experience your first taste of HIIT. I was excited to be invited to a Personal Training session in the HIIT Room by the Gym Manager Ross Davies, but before I get down to the nitty gritty, or completely sweaty in this case…

what exactly is hiit?

You may have heard the term HIIT bounced around for a while now, and if you didn’t already know, HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training, it involves short bursts of physical activity followed by intervals of rest.

so why exactly does everyone buzz about hiit?

The short sharp bursts of intense workout, which, by the way you only need to do for 30/45 mins (bonus) burns far more calories at a higher rate than your normal workout and for as much as 72 hours AFTER too! (double bonus, right?)

the warm up & workout

Ross showed me around the room and explained what everything was for, how to use it and also how versatile it was. The warm up started using TRX suspension trainers, these will definitely take you to depths you haven’t managed before, squatting even lower, performing one legged Pistol squats (which I was still feeling 3 days later) and basically enabling you to use your own body weight more effectively to maximise your workout.

Next up was the PLYO Box workout, these large lightweight colourful boxes of different sizes look fun and inviting but were actually pretty challenging and sure did make me work hard.
I started with a 12 inch box, performing sets of two footed jumps followed by rest, I attempted and succeeded the 18 inch box, this definitely got my heart and blood pumping, the biggest tip for the boxes is to believe, as they are definitely mind over matter.

Ross thankfully gave me a chance to rest and explained that everyone can use the HIIT Room as part of their membership. There is even a handy folder created by Hannah, with set workouts bespoke to the HIIT Room, which is suitable for all abilities.
You can book training sessions with all the team as everyone is PT qualified and there is an opportunity to hire the room to yourself, or take part in the ever-growing timetable of classes – check out the current ones here

The next part of my workout included the multi-purpose equipment (you can see the full breakdown below), I used the suspension trainers on my feet to perform suspended crunches, moves only possibly using TRX, unless your party trick is levitation of course.
I added weights to a bar and performed barbell push presses (girls, lifting is not just for the guys!) next up were sand bag bear hug squats (who knew that was an actual thing?) by the end I finished off any remaining energy giving it some on the battle ropes.

I would like to thank Ross for his expert advice and support, his style was so motivational and not once did he bark orders (I mean who wants a Sargent Major as a PT) he encouraged, guided and made me feel like I really could do each exercise well and safely.
By the end of the 45 min session, I definitely felt and looked like I worked hard (check out the beetroot red face in the photos) and was looking forward to taking some time to chill in the rest of the facilities, swimming pool, sauna, steam room and hot tub!

Cheddar Woods Resort & Spa is located only a 10 minute walk away from The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company, where real cheddar is made. I think we can all say we love a little bit of cheese (or a lot in my case) and if you’re planning on visiting our Cheddar Woods Resort & Spa there is a shop you must visit! The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company are the only company in the world making real cheddar cheese in the village of Cheddar. This is the place to visit for all cheese lovers and you can even watch the whole process in their working Dairy and Visitor Centre!

NOTE: 10 points to Gryffindor if you can count how many times I say cheddar in the post… the answer will be at the end (this includes titles and the paragraph above)

the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company

The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company are family owned, independent, artisan cheddar cheesemakers in the village of Cheddar. In 2003 the Spencer family purchased and took over the company, which at the time was struggling in the industry, but Katherine and John Spencer had the idea of making delicious cheese that truly reflects the region’s heritage and history.

John and Katherine have a combined 80 years’ experience in the cheese and dairy industry, so they were the perfect people for the job. They combine high standards of traditional cheese production and a transparent production site where you can watch your cheese being made, cut and packaged before tasting and purchasing at the retail store.

The cheese made by the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company is award winning! Recently in May 2017 they won Champion Cheese at the Devon County Show, in 2013 it picked up the Best Cheddar award at the British Cheese Awards, as well as back in 2008 winning Best Cheddar award at the World Cheese Awards (still counting how many ‘cheddars’?). In 2017 their Vintage cheddar won silver at The World Cheese Awards.

visitor centre

Admission to the Visitor Centre is £2, which also includes 2 children’s admission for free. Its open 7 days a week, from 10am to 3:25pm, with the retail shop staying open until 4:30pm, and later during the summer.

In the Visitor Centre you can see the whole cheese making process from start to finish, (which takes around 7 hours), or you can watch the 20 minute DVD. Your admission allows you to return throughout the day to view the different stages of the making process, so you can combine this experience with an afternoon tea at one of the tea shops in the village, or even an excursion to the Cheddar Gorge itself.

There are lots of illustrations on the walls and plenty of information to keep the whole family entertained along the journey of watching the professionals make, mature and package the delicious cheese.

After the tour, make sure to visit the retail shop next door and have a wander around, where you’ll find a wide variety of cheese to taste test, from Mellow to Mature and Vintage cheddar, as well as the unique Cave Matured Cheese, which has been matured in the nearby Cheddar Gorge Cave. The shop also stocks a whole host of cheese related products from cheese knives and boards to chutney and pickles, as well as their award-winning cheese straws!

how is this cheddar, real cheddar from Cheddar?

In general, most cheese is made the same way, but The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company is the only place to make authentic cheddar cheese in Cheddar itself. To be called cheddar cheese from Cheddar, the cheese has to be made from unpasteurised milk which has been taken from cows who graze on the grass surrounding Cheddar village, made by hand using an expert cheese maker’s skill, and it must be matured in cloth for up to 20 months.

Every morning fresh milk from a local farm is delivered to The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company. The milk is then poured into the open cheese vat, starting the cheese making process. In order to preserve the naturally occurring and healthy bacteria the milk is not pasteurised. This adds to the wonderful complexity of the flavours. There are many stages to cheddar cheese making, the most famous being ‘Cheddaring’, which involves cutting, turning, stacking and draining the curd. You can learn all about how important this process is and even witness it during your Visitor Centre experience.

Once ready, the cheese is then pressed and dressed in traditional cotton cloth before being transferred to maturing stores. In 2006 The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company started maturing some of their cheese in the famous, natural caves in the Cheddar Gorge, if this flavour takes your fancy you can purchase the Cave Matured Cheddar in the retail shop or in the shop at the entrance to the Caves.

Cheddar Woods Resort & Spa s only a 10 minute walk away from The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company, so book your holiday in Somerset and take a unique day out to watch how this world famous cheese is made, and then buy some mouth-watering, handmade, real cheddar cheese from Cheddar village.

Thank you to Mark at The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company for all the help on this post!

NOTE: did you count how many times I said cheddar? The answer was 42… did it feel like that? It felt like a lot of cheddar…

Watch award-winning Blood Brothers in North Wales at the Rhyl Pavilion Theatre…

I absolutely love musicals, but somehow I had never seen Blood Brothers before. Despite people raving about it, I’d just never gotten around to it. In fact, I didn’t know even what it was about, but since its fantastic reputation preceded it, when I saw it was coming to Rhyl, I knew I had to get tickets!

Affectionately known as the ‘Standing Ovation Musical’ it had a lot of hype to live up to. So, did it meet the high expectations? Absolutely!

you need to get tickets to see blood brothers in rhyl

After wowing audiences in the West End, Bill Kenwright’s production of the Willy Russell classic is touring the UK in 2018 and I for one can say that you have to see it!

Belting out classic songs, delivering polished acting performances and exuding finesse with effortlessly precise dance routines, the company work superbly together to tell this captivating, funny, and sometimes gritty, tale.

musicals not for you?

If musicals aren’t really your thing, do not disregard this particular show. It’s not the same as all the others. It isn’t all jazz hands and sequins; its foot-tapping, soul-stirring brilliance, with a story that will both warm and break your heart.

The staging is fantastic, and Lyn Paul (of New Seekers fame) is phenomenal, heading a highly talented ensemble, who tell the story of twins separated at birth. Yes, there are lots of songs and plenty dancing, but I defy anyone to watch this and not thoroughly enjoy it!

world-class entertainment…in rhyl?

Oh yes, seaside favourite Rhyl is currently undergoing a 21st Century face-lift and the Rhyl Pavilion Theatre is one of the first to benefit, enjoying a fresh new look. They’ve got the balance just right, staying true to its roots in the theatre itself, but with a beautiful modern facade and fantastic bar.

If you only see one show in 2018, watch Blood Brothers at Rhyl Pavilion.
Grab a ticket yourself – Blood Brothers is showing until Saturday 24th March and tickets are available on the Rhyl Pavilion website or by calling the Box Office on 01745 330000.
