If you saw my knee right now… You’d probably think I just fell over in the playground. ^^ as my kids point out. Didn’t even offer the magic sponge or Calpol. Despite doing my ACL, lateral and medial meniscus back in November There’s barely a scar. It’s been 5 weeks of slow, boring rehab. The …
“I’m too busy today.” That’s what went through my head the other day. I’d been pretty good with my training and rehab… and I thought… “I’ll skip it today.” You know that feeling? You’ve done a few good days…life’s busy…you almost give yourself permission to not bother. But then I thought about something. I had …
“Your appointment isn’t until March…” That’s what the dentist said to me the other day. I’d turned up a whole month early. There I was, thinking I was being organised.. Upping my flossing game to 2-3 times a day CONSISTENTLY.. And as I walked out… Part of me thought… “Well… that was a waste of …
“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 …
“My other half and kids can’t quite believe I’m still getting up in the morning… Read More »
Which brings me to a really good question last week about magnesium supplements. Someone asked… “If I take a magnesium supplement that has different types in it… do they cancel each other out?” For example: Magnesium glycinate — often taken to help with relaxation and sleep Magnesium malate — often linked to energy production Magnesium …
I remember when I was at uni… I thought I knew it all. “Registered Nutritionist” Loads of knowledge Real life experience, through? Not so much Because it’s one thing understanding calories, carbs, fats and protein on paper… It’s another thing trying to eat well when you’ve got work, kids, life, stress, no time, and you’re …
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 …
