On Saturday 6th September… Women from our Chippenham, Marlborough, Devizes and From Home programmes will all come together. For FruciRox. And I think having something to work towards can make such a difference. Because sometimes motivation disappears. “I’ll go tomorrow” becomes: “I’ll start again next week.” But a date in the diary can help. A …
^^ that means “toned” arms by the way, if you’re down with the kids you’ll know Followed by: “Suddenly I am cool again. Thanks Fruci Fit!” Which I love. Because when people say they want to “tone up”… This is normally what they mean. Not necessarily seeing a huge drop on the scales. But feeling …
My leg was shaking. To put it simply. Last Tuesday I did my first Fruci Fit Stomach Blast session since injuring my knee playing football in November. And wow.. I noticed the difference. One side felt weaker. My hip flexors had clearly been enjoying their extended holiday. And in a few positions, my leg started …
one meal out. And your brain immediately goes: “Sod it.” “I’m doing rubbish.” “What’s the point?” “I’ll start again Monday.” Sound familiar? But here’s the thing. It’s quite easy to eat an extra 1,500 or 2,000 calories on a meal or night out. Food. Drinks. Dessert. Eating later than normal. More salt and carbohydrate than …
Feeling confident in swimwear. Saying yes every time your daughter asks: “Shall we go to the pool?” Walking to the shops. Enjoying the holiday more.

First section: “These look good.” Walk a little further: “Oh, these look even better.” …
There’s always a lesson when I take the kids strawberry picking. Read More »
To talk about why I wasn’t selected for England’s World Cup squad. ^^ ok, just joking. We were actually talking about what stops people in their 50s and beyond from exercising again. Injuries. Niggles. Arthritis. Changing hormones. Not exercising for years. And that thought: “I won’t be able to do what I used to do.” …
To put it simply. Since doing my knee playing football in November, I’ve rightly focused much more on rebuilding strength and muscle. Cardiovascular fitness? Definitely slipped a bit. How do I know? Last week, during our Level 3 Personal Training Diploma course where we educate people to become Level 3 Personal Trainers, I acted as …
And we now only have 2 spaces left in the evening session. The course is suitable for mixed abilities. So you don’t need to already be flexible. You don’t need to know all the exercises. You’ll be coached through the movements. We adapt things where needed. And help you build strength, control, mobility and confidence …

I used to hate public speaking. Not just “Oh, I’m a bit nervous.” I mean red in the face. Shaking. Mind going blank. Trying to avoid it if I could.
