Feel Good for Summer: The Number on the Scales Does Not Define You
So according to a well-respected source *ahem, facebook*, yesterday was the vernal equinox marking the official start of Spring. Finally! Naturally, the Great British weather is treating us to a deceptively chilly day to honour the occasion (I’m typing to you from the depths of my turtle neck), but hopefully this…

The Training Diaries #IM703
I guess you could say the inevitable has happened. Less than 2 years ago, whilst supporting my other half at a middle distance triathlon, I told my mum that I would ‘never be caught dead’ doing a triathlon. In my defence, we were standing by a pretty murky, duck poo…

Your Body is Not The Enemy
It’s Valentine’s Day and, to quote Hugh Grant, love actually is all around. It seems like this year so many people have taken today as an opportunity to show their love and appreciation of friends and loved ones, as well as partners. All this love stuff has got me thinking…

It’s important at this time of year to remember that you…

Staying on Track (and enjoying yourself!) During the Festive Season
Something I’ve heard from my fitness clients several times over the last few weeks is “but what about Christmas!?” With office parties, after work drinks, the Starbucks festive menu (that fudge hot chocolate though…) and the siren call of the Quality Street tin to contend with, the prospect of staying…

Be Brave with Your Life
When I was younger, I thought courage and bravery only came in great forms. The lion tamer, the dragon slayer… Getting up to go to the loo in the night without switching on every single light in the house. Setting off on a marvellous, worldwide adventure or leaping off of…

April is the New January: 5 Steps to Help You Achieve Your 2016 Fitness Goals
I’ve decided that April is the new January. The start of a new year is always full of pressure to make big changes and “become a better you”, all whilst nursing your post-Christmas food baby and desperately trying to ignore the empty pit that is your bank balance. Never mind the dreadful weather…

Taking a Leap of Faith: When Quitting is the Opposite of Giving Up
Last week, I quit my PR job to chase a pipe dream. It’s a move that 2014 just-graduated me would have been horrified by. I’ve given up a career, with progression and development opportunities. A career that I was so sure I wanted. But what I haven’t given up on,…
