Over the course of the last 2 days I listened and spoke to health professionals and various organisations about the importance of having healthy employees.

A bit of inspiration

This one is for me as much as you today.
 
 
I’ve posted this before and will probably do so again in the future but it is just so inspiring that you cannot get sick of it.

Just sign here…..

Today I’m going to refer to a press release that I have just recently submitted that discusses training and the current economical climate.
The subject that I raised was the distinct lack of quality around when it comes to levels of service in the fitness industry and how I think it is going to come back [...]

Vary it… but how?

A question I have got from time to time is how to get enough variety from working out from home when you have no equipment.
I spoke to one of my personal training clients more recently who also belongs to a gym in Manchester and started asking about the machines for variety. I quickly put a [...]

When to hit your peak

Reaching your peak in sport is about hitting your optimum at the right moment.
If you’re an athlete, winning the races in the Grand Prix meetings is good but if it’s Olympic season, then that is the one for you.
For a footballer, they need to hit their peak each weekend for game day and essentially for [...]

The inches are everywhere

Here is a clip from the film Any Given Sunday that inspires me each time I see it

 
Whichever way you look at this vid, whether you have seen the film or not, a sports fan or not, you have got to relate to it somehow.
