For years, we’ve been told it’s mainly about losing weight. And yes, weight loss can absolutely be part of it. ^^ even indirectly, because when you feel better, you often make better choices But I think we’ve missed the bigger picture. Some of the best wins I see have nothing to do with the scales. …
That was a conversation I had with my kids at Alton Towers. We were queuing for one of the rollercoasters. Pinball? Spinball? It’s called something like that The longer we watched it go round… The worse it looked. “That looks fast.” “Their heads are moving a lot.” ^^ excellent parenting thoughts. I was thinking “I …
The word of the day was: “Zonked.” Which felt very appropriate. England had played at 2am. People had stayed up. And lots of people were trying to get through the next day on not much sleep. ^^ I was one of them Although I did feel slightly smug because I’d gone to bed with the …
Someone asked me this the other day. And it’s a fair question. Because yes… Fruci Fit is more expensive than a gym membership. 100%. But the reason is simple. If we made it much cheaper, we’d have to take things away. Fewer sessions. No coaches. No one adapting exercises. No one checking technique. No one …
“Do I need to fast?” Someone asked me this after coming back from holiday. Lots of amazing food. A “few” drinks. Different routine. Taste buds having a party. And now they’re thinking: “How do I get back to normal?” “Should I do something drastic?” “Am I going to be hungry all week?” And I get …
That was basically the reaction from someone’s family recently. Why? Because she went to the gym while on holiday. Not because she had to. But because she wanted to. She missed her exercise And I think that’s a massive win. Because for many people, even walking into a first session can feel like a big …
Not always a huge transformation photo. Not always a number on the scales. Sometimes it’s this: Doing a few sessions live and on replay. Going for a short walk. Taking recovery one step at a time. Or this: Upping your weight you’re lifting.. Managing the whole session with it. Going for coffee after a double …
I recently did the warm-up at the Savernake 10K and 3K Fun Run. I’m not ready to run yet following my knee injury. So this year, I focused on what I could do. ^^ your pace is the right pace One warm-up movement was something I call: “The Alan Shearer.” Lean back. One arm in …
Here’s one of my favourite studies. Researchers gave people the exact same 300-calorie milkshake. But there was a twist. The first time, it was labelled: “Low-calorie.” “Light.” “Diet.” The second time, the exact same shake was described as: “Indulgent.” “Creamy.” “Luxurious.” ^^ think frappuccino vibes Same shake. Same calories. Different expectations. And what happened? When …
Since 2017, I haven’t missed a single daily video on Facebook or Instagram. Christmas Day. Birthdays. Bank Holidays. Even while away. I’ve done them from beaches. Car parks. Hotel rooms. Pretty much anywhere I could get a phone signal. ^^ don’t ask about the tripod in the sea, the tide coming in and the dodgy …
