Sometimes it’s the little wins that keep you going. Like one of the awesome women on our Kickstart programme said last week: – “Weight starts with a new number” – “Noticed less hunger now I’m eating higher protein” Or another: – “Signed back up to Parkrun” – “Managed to finish my benchmark exercises in time” …
It was 4:30 a.m… I looked out the window and I asked myself the question we’ve all asked at some point: “Can I be bothered?” It was raining. Cold. Dark. The idea of running into the studio just to arrive soaking wet (and then be wet all day) ? So I didn’t. I drove instead. …
This one’s as much a reminder for me as it is for you: I can run on little sleep for a while (3 kids will do that to you), but nothing—no supplement, no “superfood”, no fancy coffee—comes close to the energy boost you get from actually getting enough sleep… Last week, I managed to hit …
I recently did a video about how to get started with resistance exercise. I spoke about squats and deadlifts and sent over some technique videos for a few people that asked. But this just brought more questions: How long should I do it for? How many times? Great questions…and my mistake. I opened a can …
“Is doing a 15-minute workout every day just as effective (or even more effective) than doing 2 x 30–45 minute sessions per week?” Here’s the truth: 15 minutes per day = 105 minutes of exercise per week 2 x 30 minutes = 60 minutes per week 2 x 45 minutes = 90 minutes per week …

1 year ago.. X- Steps low (just over 3,000 a day) X- Little exercise Fast-forward to today — her 1st Fruci-versary — and just look at these numbers she pulled together: But the best part? Her words: “The support of everyone has made such a difference. So glad I joined!” And that’s the thing… It’s …
So last weekend we went to Cotswold Beach Aquaventure — the big inflatable obstacle course on the lake. From afar, it looked fun. Slides, climbing, floating platforms… My 6-year-old was excited for it (and truthfully, so was I). excited to be going on something for adults too But the closer we got, the bigger it …

“I’m doing exercises that I spent the last 10 years saying I couldn’t do…” That’s what one of the awesome women at Fruci Fit said the other week. And it sums up so many conversations I’ve had recently The real transformation? It’s that shift from “I can’t” to “I just did.” it shows when you …

I woke up the other morning, 4am, ”freezing”. First thought: “Where’s my dressing gown?” ^^ I said in my head to avoid waking any of the kids Funny how quickly our expectations can impact us. For weeks it’s been warm. You roll out of bed thinking, this is easy. Then one chilly morning comes along …
