This naturally slim client came to me, carrying too much weight. Her problem was FOOD.  She knew what she needed to change what she was eating,  but she just wasn't doing it.   She needed a Plan, and she needed Accountability.    In fact, she needed some weapons to...

This time of year, you maybe try on your spring and summer clothes. And .... horror of horrors ... they're a bit tight after the winter.  That wine or those treats all now show up in a muffin top.   You hate it and want to get rid it gone IMMDEDIATELY!   So...

Such a FUNNY STORY! One of so many very funny stories from my years of working in fitness. This one involves some swearing .... please go with it. Imagine the strongest Liverpool accent, and put yourself in that moment, in about 1995.   All caused by The Plank - some...

To any of my Readers who don't already know, to earn my living (I’m so lucky for this) I run a small fitness business specialising in working with women 40+ which literally knocks the spots off any big commercial gym any day of the week. However as I do not currently...

I used to be the sort of person whose beliefs were all wrong.  I believed that an Avocado was fattening, and that sugar would give me energy  (crazy, yes). This was something which I'd once read in a magazine in my early 20s I think. If you're having problems with...

I'm 61.  I am still the same weight and dress size as I was when I was 25. This isn't genetic - mum, dad and my grandparents all gained weight as they got older. My Tanita Body Composition scales tell me all sorts, including my "metabolic age" or fitness age.  And...

Yes.  "Have you lost weight?" Those are 4 little words which can really make your day!! I've just had some news on the subject of weight loss which really made me smile. One of my PT clients came to me last Autumn because she wants to lose 2 stone, feel less...

I was trying to balance here. Trying to do a High Side Plank. I failed. A nanosecond after this was taken my rump hit the floor and my legs both shot up in the air. (Sadly Chris the photographer didn't capture that frame). How’s your balance? What happens when you try...

How well would you say you're looking after your mental and physical health at the moment?  I speak to plenty of people every week who could really do with a bit more of that in their lives. Trouble is, people often feel too busy to look after themselves. Too busy to...
