What’s the big deal?!
Came out in the papers today that David Beckham has asthma, and was “spotted” using an inhaler. So?! It’s been reported as though he has a terminal disease! OK, sure it’s good that this has come out, and they say his branding and marketing has covered this up to give him a “cleaner than clean” image. If this is the case that’s pretty poor. But on the other hand, it is supposedly mild, and why should he need to declare it?! It’s not a lethal weapon! Hopefully this will show youngsters or others that exercise can still be performed, even at a high level, if you do have such “limiting” factors

Surrey Bootcamp and fitness results in any weather!
  This last week we have had some terrible weather in the UK, with strong winds and heavy rain. However, I still had 35 dedicated people turn up to my 2 bootcamps in the pouring rain! I said to them at the end, that they should be proud of themselves for turning out in such weather and putting in the effort that they did.  I also stated that there were probably hundreds of people throughout the country who didn’t even make it to their “warm and cosy gym” because it was “warmer and more comfy” to stay at home.

Looking through last Sunday’s newspaper and came across a real heart wrenching article. Next time you fail to meet a goal or target you set through weakness or lack of commitment, bear this in mind; An article entitled “Mummy Manual” and was about a mum of 33 who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, leaving a husband and 2 young children. The husband, said “Lisa was a wonder woman when it came to bringing up our daughters”. When she was told she had months to live, she set her “own 12 page goals manual” for her husband to follow and achieve, on how she would like her children cared for, and brought up. She gave her husband every tiny detail of ho

Intensity – Do you have it?!
INTENSITY – a key word in getting results, and something many people never achieve. I was at the gym today, and while sitting on the bike to; a) “Cool down” b) more realistically pause, and ensure I wasn’t sick, when a girl came up that I used to work at the gym with many years ago. She was a Duty manager then as opposed to gym staff, so I’ll let her off, but she said she was just about to try a new workout to help her get lean, that was written by the Gym Manager/PT. I couldn’t help but say I wanted to look at it. Now, when getting lean, your diet will be 70-80% of the success, b
