"More isn't better. Better is better."

One of the best pieces of advice I was given was by an old course tutor of mine about 10 years ago.

You see it was around this time that "HIIT", "Circuit" & "Interval" training really started to become popular.

The problem with this approach is that you can end up only ever being focused on doing "more" with your training,

Reasons to be cheerful.

I think we can all agree that the last year has been a real struggle.

Right?

Personally & professionally.

As a gym/business owner I can freely admit that I/we have taken a real kicking.

Right now though - I really think there are plenty of reasons for us to be more cheerful over the coming weeks.

>> GET STARTED NOW <<

For example...

• Winter is now turning to Spring. In the last week alone I've enjoyed time outdoors as the sun has started to show its face again.
• Kids back in school. Valentina was back in with her fellow junior classmates this morning!
• Vaccines are having a real impact. Even better than they had thought according to a number of early reports.
• We can start to focus on a return to more "normal" with a bit more certainty.
• Your health IS your wealth. If nothing else, the last year has shown us that being fit & healthy makes more sense than ever!
• Online & in person coaching. We now offer the best service we've ever offered. Live online, on demand and training app. There's literally no reason or excuse to sit at home twiddling your thumbs.
• Summer holidays / staycations. I don't know about you but I will 100% be planning a trip or two "away". If it's in Ireland, so be it. I'll be on a plane sometime in 2021 though!
• Live sport & music . I literally cannot wait to get out to see kids & adults play football! Music events look like they will also come back slowly but surely.

What do you think? Can you add anything to the list?

Let me know.

So in todays blog we are talking about eating out.

The reason for this is that many people we work with struggle with sticking to their "regular" healthy eating habits when visiting a cafe or restaurant. All too often we hear people saying they are confused by how they can head out for a bite without busting their daily calorie intake.

​The question is, is it easy to stick to a healthy diet when eating out?

Absolutely!

There are still some people out there who believe that women should stick to the cardio, aerobics or fitness classes and leave the weights to the men.

There are even some celebrity "trainers" who say women shouldn't lift heavier weights than a 5 kilo dumbbell. Thankfully we are now at a point where women are coming round to the idea that lifting weights can bring incredible benefits.

​Here are 6 reasons why we strongly believe more women should lift weights.

The question I want to help you answer is this.

Does sweating (a lot) = fat loss?

In the 1960s, Stanford psychologist Walter Mischel developed what he called the marshmallow test.

It was pretty simple and straight forward.

He put a marshmallow on the table and then asked young children, one by one, to hold out and NOT eat the marshmallow that was in front of them.

He then left the kids alone in the room.

In this video I talk about how you can burn more calories and drop body fat even when you're not exercising!
