That’s coming up already. The diary starts filling up. The mornings get darker. And the supermarkets have been preparing for Christmas for what feels like six months. ^^ The mince pies are more organised than I am. When we talk about Christmas weight gain, it’s easy to focus on one day. What about the weeks …

That’s what I told the kids the other weekend. We were actually going to watch Chelsea women play Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. They just didn’t know it yet. It was completely last minute. They’d had their own football in the morning. There were tickets available. The train with a family railcard was pretty reasonable. I …
That’s what my two year old keeps saying to me. Then laughing. Because apparently I say it all the time. “Right, let’s go.” “Right, let’s do this.” “Right, are you ready?” And he is right. ^^ There I go again. But it got me thinking… They watch everything. Absolutely everything. A bit like Santa. Kids. …
“I should be doing more.” “I used to be stronger.” Sound familiar? Sometimes we can be our own worst critic. “Seeing my benchmark for the Ski Erg was such a surprise, and made me realise that I had such a negative narrative in my head about my level of fitness.” And this bit… “It has …
That came up in a conversation the other day. And I get it. A warm bed can put forward a very convincing argument. ^^ Especially when it’s still dark outside. But this person was already showing up. Feeling stronger. Getting less out of breath on the stairs. Finding everyday things a bit easier. Yet their …

^^ The session I nearly didn’t do. I wasn’t going to train. A few things had come up and I was short on time. Then I realised I had about 15 minutes. Quick warm up. A few squats. See how I get on. I started slow and gradually built the weight up. After surgery at …
I ended up doing my best squat since injuring my knee playing football last November. Read More »
Yes. Absolutely Work, family, kids’ clubs, things not going to plan… I get overwhelmed too. I guess one thing that helps is I don’t sit still. I try to notice what I need to solve rather than just sit there getting more wound up. Sometimes there is a problem I can do something about. So …
“Matt, you’re so chilled. Do you ever get stressed or overwhelmed?” Read More »
Someone said this to me recently. And I get it. You are showing up, trying with your food and getting stronger. Then one weigh-in makes you think… “What’s the point?” It reminded me of my knee rehab. As my recovering leg gets stronger, my other leg gets stronger too. So if I only look at …
“I’m doing everything right… but the scales haven’t moved.” Read More »
And without hesitating, got down on her hands and knees, reached underneath, picked it up and got back up again. No problem. ^^ this was the win she shared with us. Not a number on the scales. Not a heavier dumbbell. Something practical that made everyday life easier. She called it “wonderful, practical, everyday mobility” …
