Consistency is the absolute key to succeeding at your health and fitness goals.

You could have the best plan in the world, and yet, if you don’t manage to stick with it then it’s pretty useless.

Equally, you could have a very average plan, but if you’re able to consistently follow it, it will always create better results.

There are three big enemies of consistency, and I’ve spoken about them on my new YouTube channel.

If you’re interested in learning about these enemies and how to turn them around so you can develop consistency, please […]

Christmas Food Anxiety?

I know the Christmas food and drink can bring anxiety for many of you.

More social events mean you’re less in charge of what you’re eating or drinking. The nature of Christmas meaning you’re much less active than usual. Going to bed later, and generally not being in much of a routine – it all adds up to more weight on the scales, as well as rubbish energy levels, a struggling digestive system and being in a less-than-chirpy mood!

I have some tips for you, to help you start the New Year in a good place […]

How’s Your Year Been?

We’re approaching the end of the year.

Time for a little check in – give these couple of questions a bit of thought over a cuppa.

How’s the year been for you?

Have you achieved what you hoped you’d achieve this year?

If so – what has worked so well for you? What’s next?

If not – why not? What hasn’t been working? What do you need to do differently?

Try not to get bogged down in the detail; instead, keep your thinking “big picture”.

Cold plunges, vagal nerve stimulators, mushrooms, creatine, collagen, weight loss injections, might all […]

How’s Your Circadian Rhythm?

As the clocks change this weekend, apparently along with the weather, I thought it would be a good time to write about daylight and circadian rhythm.

While it is much easier to not bother going outside when the days are shorter and the weather is less than inviting, it is still well worth making the effort, because even when the weather is miserable, it is significantly brighter outside than it is inside – so you’re still getting that all important serotonin hit.

They say that a good night’s sleep starts the minute you get out of bed in the […]

Can Eating What You Crave Promote Weight Loss?

I stumbled upon an interesting study the other day.

It showed that people who ate a bit of what they craved alongside a generally balanced diet actually did better and lost more weight over a year than those who didn’t. And their cravings remained manageable for the following year too.

Really, this shouldn’t be a surprise.

Despite the fact that we all feel convinced that if we are to lose weight then our diet must be pretty much perfect. We’re either eating well and losing weight or we’re doing the opposite.

But yet again, the middle […]

Creating New Routine – A Handy Trick To Help

For most of us, there are certain things which we find easy and other things which we find difficult.

Life gets in the way, and those changes we’re trying to put into place gradually fall away until we remember them again!

I’m no exception. There are always lessons I’m re-learning and which I try to make a point of remembering.

Right now, I seem to continually forget how much better I feel the next day when I get to sleep by 10pm, and also, I’ll drink tea until it comes out my ears, but I […]

Getting The Best Out Of Corrective Exercise

Despite writing workout programs to help clients with niggles, pains and injuries every day, I continue to find myself surprised and excited to see how profound the effects of corrective exercise can be.

I’ve got a few examples of things I’ve found especially exciting over the last few months:

Two separate early stage workout plans have provided a pretty much immediate resolution to two clients chronic back pain. Another program has radically improved nerve pain which has been going on for years. A much more gradual approach has seen a client almost back to full function after an […]

Aching After Starting a New Workout?

Are you feeling achey after starting a new exercise routine – or even just doing something different to usual?

It’s probably something called DOMS.

It usually comes on about 12-24 hours after your workout or activity.

It can be really quite painful and alarming if you’re not expecting it, but it usually starts to reduce on the second day and will gradually decrease over the following three days.

I think there might some individual variation to the chances of you experiencing muscle ache. I’ve worked with clients who get DOMS super easily, and clients who never seem […]

Focus on Your Actions

Sticking with the theme of finding better ways to measure your success than analysing yourself in the mirror or standing on the scales, here’s another idea:

Focus on your actions, rather than the outcomes.

Of course, we’re usually looking for an outcome from the effort we put in to our health and fitness.

But ultimately, we cannot absolutely control what the outcome will be.

We know that by getting fitter, improving our mobility and eating more healthily, we’re going to head in the right direction – in fact, I’d argue that it would be impossible not to […]

Track These Areas Instead of Relying on the Scales

Following on from my last email about the shortcomings of using only the scales and mirror to gauge your progress towards your goals.

I have some better, simple, ideas for what you should assess in order to see how you’re doing. These areas should consistently improve as you go along – and they should stay around for the long term too.

This makes them really effective, encouraging and accurate at showing you how you’re doing. If one area isn’t improving, or starts heading backwards, then it’s a sign that you need to adapt you plan to get […]
