It all started with a book A few years ago (actually back in 2007 to be exact) I decided to join a running club – the wonderful Eccleshill Road Runners. After about 4 months and a couple of 10k runs later I stumbled across a book in my local bookshop; The Athlete’s Guide to Yoga by […]
Ever feel like life’s one big compromise? Take getting in shape. You want things to be a little firmer, so you have to give up everything that makes life worth living. Pretty raw deal, huh? I’ve struggled on a similar level with money. I’m either buying everything I want, or I’m depriving myself on a […]
I met Cameron in Sociology class at college. Being one of 3 boys in a group of 30 girls discussing topics like gender inequalities can get pretty brutal. So we gravitated. For safety I guess.

If you’re already doing this you’re on the right track to building muscle. You can probably do this for a while and keep seeing progress […]
Maybe you’ve vowed to get your health and fitness on track. You’re fed up with not being happy with how things are right now and you’re set to do something about it. This pretty much sums up how I felt about finances. I’d been in debt for as long as I’d had a bank account. […]
