July 09, 2014 - 11:30 BST hellomagazine.com For brides who want to get into shape before the big day and loose a couple of pounds, a boot camp is just one of the ways to reach your target goal Boot camps may seem like a daunting experience for brides, but some, like the two-night package at Champneys Tring resort are a more gentle option and balance exercise with relaxation . For those wanting to get into shape before the big day and escape the stresses of wedding planning, the Hertfordshire health spa in the middle of the countryside beckons. HELLO! Online writer Ainhoa Barcelona braves a group weekend away of spinning , circuit training and calorie-controlled diets ... and looks to the facials and massages at the end of the boot camp tunnel. CLICK ON PHOTOS FOR GALLERY VIEW GALLERY Champneys Tring in Hertfordshire How long is the boot camp for? 2 nights and 3 days. What does the three-day schedule involve? Looking at the rigidly scheduled programme, all I could see were scary words like " circuit training ," " body conditioning " and " boxing workout ". The nicer phrases like "snack," "treatment" and "dinner" seemed unattainable - I felt we'd never make it to those rest periods given our 7am starts . The fitness instructors did push us, putting us through a different activity an hour but the sessions were balanced out and went surprisingly fast. Fun I would even say. We started the day with a calming yoga or pilates session , followed by a hike through the peaceful woodlands before the real exercise kicked off. We were encouraged to throw ourselves into new types of exercise - I discovered I actually quite enjoyed spinning, aqua aerobics and boxing my stress out. And the day ended at about 4pm , when we were treated to a massage or thalassotherapy session in the pools to ease our muscle pain. As with any package, guests are allowed to use the gym, swimming … [Read more...] about Boot camp review for brides at Champneys

Photo: Helen Sloan/HBO “Sexposition” — the reveal of plot points during explicit sex scenes — is a word that’s become part of the TV vernacular, in large part thanks to Game of Thrones . We ran into Esme Bianco, whose former GoT character, Ros, started the sexposition revolution, at the Society of Camera Operators award show in Los Angeles. We asked Bianco about her thoughts on the “sexposition” concept, and how she feels being at the center of this storytelling trend: I look back and think it was a very clever coining of that phrase. People tell her secrets; they reveal a side of themselves we wouldn’t otherwise see. I think the best example is with Theon, who obviously — now he’s gone on to become weak and we have seen this amazing character arc. But in season one, it would be very easy to see him as arrogant, very self-confident, a bit of a twerp. But we see him with Ros and see he’s a vulnerable guy who has insecurities, and there’s more about him than first meets the eye. I think that’s such a great tease for what goes on later when he becomes weak and a totally humiliated shell of a person who’s brainwashed, and becomes a slave — it shows a great character arc. It might have seemed improbable if we hadn’t seen in the beginning that Theon had this vulnerability underneath. Ros’s scenes with Tyrion similarly revealed more depth to his character. “Early on, we realize Tyrion is a guy who really cares about people. He’s very tender,” she said. “When Ros gets accidentally captured because they think she’s Shae, he really shows he’s concerned; he’s angry about it. He’s not just like so many people in the show, out for himself.” And just how difficult was it to film those intimate scenes? Bianco recalled how the GoT crew made it easier for her: When you’re shooting a scene like that, the whole crew is far more considerate and careful than maybe they necessarily are. So people treat you with a bit more bedside manner than usual. The thing that … [Read more...] about Esme Bianco on Being at the Forefront of
