Training is an important part of getting fit and healthy, but the often overlooked part is equally important: recovery. It is said that you don’t ‘overtrain’ you simply ‘under-recover’.  This means that as a busy, stressed person with a ‘normal’ job and not quite enough time in the day, you will seem to overtrain earlier [...]

There’s so much information out there about how to get fit and lose the extra pounds, but sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start! Strangely enough, the place most people start is what sets them up for failure!  Have you ever got stuck into a new fitness or diet plan, only to [...]

How secure are your 4 Pillars?! We are well in to the New Year now, and your resolutions may or may not be intact, but I am getting the feeling that people are actually getting to the stage where they are ready to take real action – the false promises of January 1st have faded [...]

OK guys, totally had to share this with you!  It is a rich, indulgent dessert I highly recommend you serving next time you have friends around for dinner, without telling them that the ingredients are all top quality, health providing and nutritous!  In fact, of course, it is a PERFECT Valentine’s Day treat for you [...]

Nice work to all the wonderful Fit Body Fix members, who did (or are about to do in some cases!) the monthly fitness test – todays being the Jack Bauer Special! Not for the faint-hearted, ha ha! We’ll be repeating the challenge in week 4 (it is now week 1) so all members can see [...]

I invented this recipe on my recent pre-wedding holiday (a honey-sun?) to Cornwall, not only healthy and packed full of goodness, it is utterly delicious and a meal we were stoked to be enjoying on holiday – but equally a recipe that would be super easy to make for a mid-week meal, espcially if you [...]

So, we are into another New Year, and all around we are being guilt-tripped into making strict New Year’s Resolutions, or detoxing our way through the two universally accepted miserable months of the year to repent for all that festive indulgence… There is something so wrong with all of that, and in our hearts we [...]

Just a quick hello and a reminder to set the alarm and get yourself to your early morning training session!  I know it is dark and a bit chilly (but it’s not actually so bad, especially when you get moving!) but if you just take a positive step to get up and out and exercise [...]

I must admit, I spent last winter feeling cold, really cold, all the time, and feeling very sorry for myself!  But I realised that it was my attitude to the cold that made me even colder! This year, despite having come back from a wonderful, long honeymoon in tropical Mauritius, I have not suffered in [...]

Willpower – something we are all so sorely lacking – right? Or, perhaps, it’s actually just a complete red herring, designed to tempt you away from the good things in life, towards all those things you really SHOULD be doing? Confused? Or wondering how on earth you can reach all those goals and stick to [...]

Before we can get stuck into achieving our health and fitness goals, we need to stop making excuses. We need to accept that we are in control of our actions: everything we do (or don’t do) will either take us a step closer to our goals, or a step further away. We need to be realistic [...]

Do you do your best to plan your shopping and food so you are never caught short, but find that, somehow, life always intervenes and leaves you bare-fridged and in search of the nearest take-away outlet? Well, I have a solution for you! Make sure you always have a well stocked freezer and cupboards, and [...]

Drastic action is often what we feel like we need but drastic changes all in one go can be very hard to take. We might be successful in the short term but soon return back to the old habits that got us out of shape in the first place. The best, and most painless, approach [...]

We are scarily near the end of February already and spring is so totally in the air!  I get a feeling that the warmer, milder weather here in the UK is making us feel like time is moving even faster than usual, where did winter go and what did we do with it?! As the [...]
