One of the most common things we hear at DF (and sorry ladies, you’re the worst for this) is people struggling to make time for themselves. Especially when it comes to looking after our body with exercise. Something we find challenging at the best of times. Seems like everyone else’s agenda comes first. It gets […]
Would you be surprised to know that most people trying to get in better shape struggle with ups and downs along the way? Heck, maybe you’ve even experienced it yourself; One moment you’re on it, training several times a week. You feel great! Unstoppable! You’re even thinking about running a 10k, no wait, why not […]
Have you ever looked back at your holiday photos and thought Ughhhh! I met with Charlie recently, who’d been away on holiday, and after seeing the post holiday photos was mortified about how much weight had snuck on – seemingly overnight.

Maybe you want to feel better, look better or just be fitter to keep up with a young family. And at the same time your progress towards that goal seems to come in fits and starts. You do a bit more exercise and feel a bit better. Then get busy, distracted, or perhaps lose motivation […]
When it comes to getting in better shape we often know we want things to be different. Heck, we even sometimes know what we need to do. But for one reason or another we still don’t get started. If you’re at the stage where you’re fed up of watching your health and fitness gradually slip […]
