This week I was re-editing a short programme I wrote called the 'Body Image Reset', which is a self-paced workbook to improve your understanding of body-image and how to create a healthy relationship to yourself. In one of the sections I discuss the benefit of looking...

The first quarter of the year has been and gone. We had 13 good Friday night training sessions on the athletics track in all weathers from -2c and pouring rain, to last week's gorgeous warm sun set.  Now is a good time to take stock of where you are so far this year....

A couple of weeks ago I talked about how I felt having a connection to eating food when you feel good can really undo your results, as the only time you are not eating badly is when life is going along normally. This is because pretty much everyone’s behaviour is much...

I stumbled on a debate about if you could only pick one exercise then what would you pick? Most of the comments centred on squats & deadlifts with people arguing around which is best. To answer this question, you need to define what is the key criteria we are...

My last book is four years old and I’m contemplating writing another one this year to cover the areas I feel I missed. The central theme will remain the same in that I have always been trying to answer the question, what stops you, or anyone achieving the goal they...

A few people have commented on the different exercises I have posted on Instagram recently as they are not your most typically used movements. So, I thought it would be a good idea to share some new and easy ways to change and improve your exercise routine.  ...

At the start of January, we looked at what you need to do to achieve the main types of New Year goals and last week, we explored what data you should take to act as a benchmark for charting progress.   I feel the hardest area to measure and track is around your...
