Let’s Talk About Stress

5th February 2019

Stress is a regular occurrence in life, you can't avoid it and neither should you necessarily always try to, however, you must absolutely control how it impacts your health. Last week I had a deep and meaningful chat with my parents. We were discussing the amount of things they take on in life including renovation projects, travelling, looking after family, etc. Whilst they love doing these things and I wouldn’t want them to stop it’s vital they observe the impact these activities may have on their health.

How To Be Super Human

19th March 2018

A client recently said to me.... “Keris I feel like you’re superhuman with all your lecturing, yoga and running. I’m so far away from where I’d like to be, it’s frustrating and at times feels pointless!”

5 Things That Fuel Fat Loss and Don’t Cost a Penny

7th January 2018

It's 2018 Fitties and New Year’s resolutions are in full force. Health companies are rubbing their hands together at the thought of everyone spending their hard-earned cash on some ridiculous detox teas, weight loss pills or possibly the worst I've come across so far - a fat burning vest! Apparently just wearing it aids fat loss and tones your muscles, go figure?!

5 Lessons From A Lifetime in the Gym

9th January 2016

I’m a self confessed exercise addict and I’ve touched on this subject in a previous blog on body image because that’s where my training journey started out. I felt miserable, tired and my trousers were too tight. I started jogging (if you can call it that, I only lasted 10 minutes on my first few attempts) and immediately felt happier, full of energy and my trousers finally fitted again. For me exercise was the solution to EVERYTHING. Over the years I came to rely on endorphins every single day as they transformed my outlook, personality and sense of positivity, to the point you really wouldn’t want to meet me on a rest day.

A FITTER Approach To Fat Loss

4th January 2016

It’s that time of year again when many of us renew our resolutions for the year. The easy thing to do here (and most common in our experience) is to come up with a fat loss goal; drop a dress size, get a six pack, fit into my skinny jeans again, blah blah. We always aim to steer people away from these goals as they're based upon a negative relationship with your body for a start, plus it’s no fun weighing and measuring your food and your waistline day in day out. In fact the harder people pursue this goal the more likely they are to fail at it.

My Lifting Journey

20th October 2015

I love lifting weights, I have done since I was 10 years old using tins of baked beans and doing 100 bicep curls with them. The passion is still there to this day. I won't bore you with my entire training journey but there is an important message I'd like to get across in this blog. You see I have reached a point where I'm lifting weights I never dreamed of lifting.

10 Tips For Improving Insulin Health

8th October 2014

Optimal health is largely about achieving effective communication across the whole body. Our hormones play a significant role in this process and it's vital that our body listens and responds in a healthy way to the messages being conveyed. Insulin is one of the most important hormones as it's responsible for transporting nutrients into our cells for energy. It's therefore important your nutrition, training and lifestyle ultimately support insulin health.

Are You Paleo or Faileo?

4th August 2014

Paleo was the most googled diet of 2013 and is finally hitting the mainstream, competing with the 5:2 and kicking Dukan to the curb.  You would think most people in the health industry would be pretty pleased about the growing popularity of paleo. However, sadly the coverage has meant some of its key principles are being lost in translation and other aspects are rather exaggerated, leaving many adopters confused about the principles, without the desired results or even worse; noticing a decline in their health. 

Summer Wine

28th June 2014

A friend of mine told me a story about an old man who lives in the Canary Islands - The man, now in his 90s, walks for 2 hours up and over hills every day to sit on the coast and have a chilled glass of Rioja at sunset. He says he owes it to the wine that he's kept healthy over the years - and although I am inclined to believe it's more because of the walking, I think there's some merit in his answer!

Do you wake up stiff in the morning?

24th September 2012

When I ask "do you wake up stiff in the morning?" I'm not referring to your knee joints here or your lower back. I'm talking about your morning wood, morning glory, are you pitching a tent when you wake up? Still don’t know what I’m talking about?
