This is me aged 16. Not the greatest photo but thankfully social media wasn’t a thing back then so there isn’t many photos to choose from. I have cropped the photo but we had bunked school for a few days to build a 12 foot camel that 5 men could fit in for...

Our 5th Anniversary I thought this would feel a lot different to how it does. It feels exactly like 5 years. I can’t actually say I thought we would survive 5 years, there has been a few times where it would of been a lot easier to just give up but here we are...

Have you ever heard of someone in their 60’s taking up running? Using their retirement to play netball or trying Judo? Nah me neither. Why not though? There is a common misconception that we decline as we age, this is partly true. It becomes harder to gain...

What diet have you tried before? Have you tried more than one? What worked well and what was awful? The Fitness and Nutrition industry is huge just now and this has led to a boom in weird fads that most people know won’t work but are willing to give it a go to...

Focus! Stay on it! Don’t stop! Not long now! 20 seconds left! You’re doing amazing! These are the words I use with my clients to get them to give everything they have. To myself I say: you’re so unfit! You can’t do this! You’re going to be sick! What are you trying to...

A cool study a few years ago found out that Bronze medalists are happier than Silver medalists, they found that Silver medalists focussed on missing out on the Gold medal whilst Bronze medalists were delighted to be on the podium. I have literally no idea what this...
