#STARTober   Instead of giving something up this month (or in the new year)   Why don’t you START something positive?   Re-framing the activity   …AND changing the language that you use….   Makes a real difference in your feelings about the choices that you are making!   Instead of giving up chocolate, or […]

We were watching Robin Hood the other day (the new-ish one with Taron Egerton)   It’s pretty good if you fancy something to sink your teeth into (a twist on a classic tale!)   Anyhow there were a few good lines in the movie, but one really stuck out to me   Robin’s sidekick (although […]

Why do we procrastinate on making a positive change? Why can’t we give up the bad habits? Why do we still behave ‘badly’ despite KNOWING what we need to do, to get what we want to see (better energy, more confidence, better health, weight loss…?) There is a tonne of stuff going on around us in […]

My personal trainer PET PEEVES #1…. FAST FADS + FIXES I want to start by saying I am 100% committed to helping you get results I want you to get them as fast as possible BUT so often I see risky, questionable and dangerous practises and strategies that simply will leave you feeling MORE confused, […]

Don’t punish yourself for things already done….I hear a lot of this going on in the gym I need to work off that bingeI must work off that hangover These are things that can’t really be undone (I’m not saying that you can’t make positive healthy choices off the back of a period of time […]

When the going gets tough….   …..do you give up?   Whether its weight loss, fitness, better health, more confidence, more energy that you want…..   If you aren’t prepared to see it through to the end   You aren’t going to get what you want   Quitting is the EASIER path for sure….   […]
