Being fit and healthy around a busy lifestyle!

29 May 2014

Being fit and healthy around a busy lifestyle!

The Spartan Circuit

28 May 2014

Some trainers use what I think of as a “kitchen sink” approach to programme design. It’s as though they are trying to make their workouts as complicated as possible. While I have nothing against exercise variety, I believe that your effort is better spent on performing fewer exercises at high intensity rather than an endless [...]

What’s the alternative to squats?

27 May 2014

Squats are one of my all time favourite exercises. A lower body do-it-all, squats can improve your athletic performance, your appearance, your mobility, your flexibility and even your knee health. It could be argued that squats are more than just an exercise but are actually an essential anatomical function. After all, you did a squat [...]

23 May 2014

Continued from Fitzine 23rd May PT is in the Blood Reasoning: Doing the same workout over and over again is a sure fire way to go nowhere fast.

Food on Friday Vol. 21

23 May 2014

More and more people are becoming carbohydrate conscious. It seems the penny is finally dropping: the less physically active you are, the less carbohydrate you need on a daily basis.
