“Put your hands on your head” I heard… I slowly put the houmous back down on the table And put my hands on my head. As that little voice reminded me about how I nearly finished the houmous Even though I wasn’t hungry. And that’s the bit that surprised me. Because it wasn’t a takeaway. …
And it reminded me of something I hear a lot: “What’s the point… it’s only a minute.” That’s exactly what most people think. Because we’ve got this idea that exercise has to be an hour. A “Proper” session. Sweaty. All or nothing. And if we haven’t got an hour… we do nothing. That’s the problem. …

I can’t believe I’ve actually stuck to it…” That was what someone said to me on a check in call the other day. And it stopped me for a second. Because it wasn’t about weight loss. It wasn’t about a personal best. It was this… “I started really nervous… I nearly didn’t come to the …

I had a conversation about this the other day. Because a lot of people think results from exercise come from simply doing certain exercises. “Just tell me what to do and I’ll do it.” But here’s the reality… Most people already know what to do. Move more. Do some strength work. Eat a bit better. …
Another question I get asked all the time: “How long should I workout for?” And I’m sorry: it depends (just being honest. And I know it’s the boring answer that doesn’t make the Steven Bartlett podcast)…but it’s true. If you give me an hour to train, I’ll probably take an hour. I’ll look around. I’ll …
I wanted to share this message from Annie last week… That word… consistent. Because let’s be honest… Most people don’t struggle because they don’t know what to do. You probably already know:Eat a bit betterMove a bit moreGet some strength work in It’s not the what… It’s the doing it consistently. Showing up. Even when …

Because time does move quickly. One minute it’s January… Then it’s “where did that go?” 15% of the year has gone already. What do …
It’s definitely felt lighter outside this last week. Read More »
Today I want to clear up one of the most confusing bits of food shopping: (No, not deciding which milk to get – a minefield for another day – or deciding whether to get a tin of mackerel in brine or olive oil…or maybe korma sauce).. How do you know if something is really high …
