I had a really interesting conversation last week. Someone said they’d lifted a heavier weight in a session and thought… “Ah… I’ve probably not been pushing myself properly before.” And that’s such an important moment. Because it’s not about smashing yourself every session. But it is about learning what “effort” actually feels like. We talk …
Rightly so. because there’s a lot of noise out there. “Take this and your joints will feel amazing.” “Drink this and your skin will glow.” “Add this and everything changes.” So naturally… people get sceptical. Which is a good thing. Because most things in health and fitness don’t work like that. Let’s take collagen. You’re …
I had a really good question the other day about collagen and protein powders. Read More »
When it comes to health and fitness, we need to be a little less “Valentine’s Day”. What do I mean by that? We all know how this goes… One good day. You eat well. You move more. You feel motivated. Then the next day life gets busy… things slip… and it’s easy to think “ah …
I had this message come the other day : Now here’s the thing. No one joins Fruci Fit because they desperately want to push a 105kg sled. No one wakes up thinking, “Do you know what I’d love? A longer plank.” That’s not why people start. They start because: The sled? The plank? They’re just …
Now normally, if there’s an injection involved, someone else does it and I look away. That’s always been my approach. Divert the pain, pinch myself, don’t think about it too much. This time, I had to do it myself. I’ll be honest, I was putting it off. Standing in the kitchen, injection in hand, having …
I’ve been speaking about this a lot lately. Comparison. You know, we had 20 women from Fruci Fit out doing the Longevity Games — running further than they thought they could, ticking off distances they’d never done before, and feeling pretty proud of themselves. Me? I was six days post knee surgery at this point …
I wanted to share something that’s come up a lot inside Fruci Fit. You’ll have seen posts like: • trousers fitting again • lifting heavier than before • signing up for events you’d never have considered • feeling stronger, fitter, more organised And they’re brilliant. It’s what it’s all about. But here’s the bit that …

4 out 10 hate this…No. I’m not talking about Valentine’s Day… But rather: 4 out of 10 hate looking at themselves in the mirror every day.. It may even be referred to as Body Dysmorphic Disorder when you look in the mirror one day and are convinced that you gained 10lbs overnight… I had a …
I changed my mind on something relatively recently.. Fitness events. For a long time I kept saying: “I’m not ready.” “I need more time.” “I should be fitter first.” Then I signed up anyway — Rat Race coastal marathon — with about four weeks’ notice. And here’s the bit that surprised me most. It wasn’t …
I wanted to share a couple of messages I received last week. They really summed up why we do what we do. That’s massive. And it’s a good reminder that resistance training, as boring as it sometimes is (yep, I just called exercise boring , is incredibly important as we get older (or injured as …
