Firstly, this is probably more relevant if you have been training consistently for a few months and know what “normal” looks like for you. If you are just getting started? Just get started. Train consistently. Do not worry about losing strength while losing body fat before you have even built the habit. You can look …
On a pair of good old wired headphones. No charging. The microphone sits closer to my mouth, so it picks up less wind. ^^ not that type of wind No random disconnections. And they actually stay in my ears when I’m training. ^^ Maybe it is just the shape of my ears Funny how sometimes …
It was great to welcome the women from My Happy Pace run club to Fruci Fit in Marlborough last week. They started with a gentle run around the lovely fields and trails in Lockeridge. Then headed into the studio for a bit of strength work. . We kept it simple. ^^ hopefully Single-leg work. Hamstrings. …
Later night than normal? Feeling like a Bank Holiday nap sounds very appealing? You might simply be carrying a little sleep debt. But is napping lazy? Is napping a useful tool? A short, well-timed nap may help you feel more alert, less fatigued and a little better able to make sensible decisions later in the …
40km 5,000ft of climbing. 10.5 hours. And no trace whatsoever of the sciatica Massive well done to Jo for completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks. When Jo joined Fruci Fit in 2021, she could never have imagined doing this. In fact, she still had doubts right up until the end. ^^ As so many do, and …
I’ve tried it many times before. In fact, it helped with my fat loss when I was doing physique shows and studying at Oxford Brookes University. But not because fasting unlocked a secret fat-burning mode… It was much less exciting than that. I would leave home at 5am, travel to Oxford and work in labs …
Coming down? That can feel very different. It is something people often lose confidence with after an injury, a fall, pain or simply not doing as much for a while. ^^ I know this one too well after doing my ACL, lateral and medial meniscus last year. When confidence goes, we tend to hold on …
September has always been a funny time. But one thing hasn’t changed… Humans. I’ve worked in personal training and nutrition since 2008. In the NHS, public health and now Fruci Fit. With women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. And everyone from complete beginners to athletes. One of the biggest mistakes I see …
And I don’t think everybody needs to do it forever. But it can save you a lot of time when you feel like you’re eating well and still not seeing the result you want. A good example is yoghurt. A natural yoghurt can look almost identical to a 0% Skyr yoghurt or Greek yoghurt. But …
But they can’t tell you how capable you are. I love this quote. They won’t show you that your balance has improved. Like the message I got in the image did.. That you can get up from the floor more easily. That you caught yourself when you stumbled. Or that carrying the shopping feels less …
