Sounds like a strange question coming from someone in fitness… But stay with me. Because I actually think goals can sometimes put people off starting. You think: “I need to lose X weight” “I need to get fitter first” “I need a proper plan” …and before you know it… You haven’t started at all. Whereas… …
That was me the other day as I felt a little pain in my knee. A bit tweaky the next morning. 9 weeks post-surgery… so still early days. Now, a part of me thought: “Right, that’s it. Done too much. Better stop.” But instead… I did my back to basics rehab. Simple exercises. To get …
These kids cars are hard to get in and out of… With a 2 year old and dodgy knee (which I’m now rehabbing) One of my motivators is that I want my 2 year old to have the same energy than my older kids had… And there’s an element of guilt as I’ve spent about …
“Just the sort of fitness sessions I had been looking for…” That’s how Kate described it after joining Fruci Fit. “Friendly, knowledgeable trainers who really understand women over 40” “Each trainer makes you feel important and wants you to succeed” “Supported every step of the way” “No question too silly… lots of encouragement” And then …

It’s very unlikely to be body fat… Here’s what’s actually going on: For every 1g of carbohydrate …
“Wait… so 2 Easter eggs have 20g of protein…And so do 3 regular eggs??” Sounds like a win for chocolate, right? …until you read the small print – 2 Easter egg shells = ~1200 calories– 3 actual eggs = ~220 calories This is tongue in cheek. But it does highlight something important… – Nutrition can …
Don’t worry, I’m not here to tell you to eat protein chocolate mackerel eggs, provide you with eggscellent Easter jokes… Or say you cannot ever enjoy a bit of chocolate.. Thing is, it is never about ONE food… But rather your thoughts about the food and the ‘all or nothing’ approach… Believe it or not, …
I may not be the Easter bunny, but today I do have a surprise for you Read More »
So nearly 2 weeks ago at FruciRox… We saw something pretty special. Not just people getting fitter. And people going from: “I’m not sure I can do this…” to… “I actually did that.” But friendships were made, laughter and fun! Since then, the messages have been coming in… And what’s interesting… It’s not just about …
I just stood there. Thinking… “What do I do now?” After I took my knee brace off for the first time since November when I injured my knee playing football (of course I took the knee brace off for surgery and cleaning). May sound silly, but I didn’t trust my knee at all. No confidence …
