A couple of weeks back we were making small talk at the gym when one of the girls asked if I was still playing tennis. My response? “Of course I play… I mean kind of…. errr… well actually it’s been a couple of weeks… better make that months. Okay, I did play.” I felt a […]
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 […]
20 second isometric front hold with dumbbell Grit and determination required for this one – it’ll test your stamina an strength.

I got an email from someone in distress working through the 12in12 fat loss nutrition course. Even though she’d lost 5 lbs and a few inches, her weight went up after two days of working on one of the new habits. She wasn’t sure if it was coincidence, part of her monthly cycle, if she […]
I’ve been getting a veg box delivered from Riverford Organic for a few weeks now and as it stands, I’ve got, amongst other things, a red cabbage, 2 bulbs of fennel and carrots left in the fridge. So after racking my brain for what to do with this motley crew, I remembered about coleslaw – […]
