Summer nights are great, can I get an amen!?

I'm a terrible drunk!

"I have mixed drinks about my feelings" - Zebrahead

Okay to give myself some credit, I'm actually not too bad at the drinking part.

The drinking part isn't the issue it's the aftermath I can't handle!

I think anyone who isn't in their twenties can relate to this.

I get terrible hangovers and can easily carry these through my entire week.

Can she kick it? (yes she can!)

What breaks are for

"You can't see the label from inside the jar."

I’ve just been away this weekend for another music festival!

Whilst it's not relaxing in the traditional sense, it's a break from the routine which is always necessary throughout the year.

You can usually tell when you need a break by the following signs: reduced motivation, less creativity and a general fatigue.

Struggling for motivation? Try this

Here's the problem with training and diet goals...

They're usually based around how we want to look,

e.g. lose weight, fit into a pair of jeans, get in shape for a wedding or holiday.

There's nothing wrong with this.

But I usually advise people I work with to also have a goal that includes how they want to feel...

What a wash out!! 💦💦

Do you need one of these?

No matter how motivated you are or how badly you want to achieve your goals you can't go all out every week.

Some weeks you'll be firing on all cylinders and feel unstoppable, others you'll feel sluggish and lacking that spark!

Just accepting that some weeks you'll smash it and make huge progress and others you might just ease off and cruise, is a massive step forward in...

Sweatin ‘ell, what a session - the shade was welcome 🥵

More back in action 🙃🫶

Ah sorry we forgot to snap before you took off Elise, but looks who’s back this week >>> 💁‍♀️

Dieting doesn’t have to mean eating LESS

"We design our lives through the power of choices" - Richard Bach

I just checked-in with a client this morning who has a fat loss goal but is struggling with snacking.

Between meals they are finding themselves constantly picking and grazing.

(And you’d be surprised how quickly the odd biscuit, handful of crisps etc. add up)

Colin’s back!! 🔙🕺

Also please note that ALL sessions, effective immediately, will now take place on the Downs (near the Water Tower, behind the cafe / changing rooms)

We up the Downs now too, bt-dubs 🌳

I love this quote

"Get to know yourself and all the ways you habitually cheat yourself out of the fruits by avoiding the labour."

I saw this quote on Instagram the other day which I absolutely love.

It’s from a guy called Andrew Tracey.

It massively resonated in terms of what I recognise in myself and also what comes up in coaching.

I was finally able to focus by doing these 5 things

For almost a year now, I've been employed by Network Rail as they set-up their own in-house Occupational Health service.

It's more-or-less the same role I was doing for them before, when they outsourced this service to Optima Health, and therefore I am pretty proficient at it now.

Summer Party Inside!

I have the quarterly promotional message to let you know about today.

The summer programme is underway, and I have exciting news...

There is now an additional session on Tuesdays (typically!) by the water tower on Durdham Downs.

Same time in the evening from 6.15pm-7.15pm.

Never Miss Twice

"The first mistake is never the one that ruins you. It is the spiral of repeated mistakes that follows. Missing once is an accident. Missing twice is the start of a new habit." - James Clear

Whether you're trying to establish a new habit or it's something you've been doing for a while, using this rule is a really effective way of making sure that missing once doesn't lead to that habit...

The Magic of Delayed Gratification

I was talking with a guy I've become friendly with at Bannatyne's gym the other day after a spin class.

He regularly does this class and often gets on his bike outside too.

We discussed how this type of fitness is unique, and that it takes time to develop, even if you feel 'fit' in other aspects.

He said something which has stayed with me:

The sense of achievement when you crack on in the drizzle, yet it’s mid-June!!

This might work for you too...

"Happiness is having a fully meal-prepped refrigerator. Plan what you'll eat, then eat what you planned. Your body will thank you."

I absolutely hate trying to think of what to have for dinner.

You can end up eating the same boring meals week in and week out.

Or having takeaways more often than you should because it’s easier and something you’ll actually enjoy.

I mentioned this super simple tip to a client this week who found it really helpful...

Summer’s landed! 👊

Would you bother doing this?

"Small things, done consistently, add up to big things in the long run." - Unknown

I was talking to my mate last weekend, he goes to the gym at his work most lunchtimes.

He said his boss comes in every single day and does a 15 minute workout.

That’s it.

Just 15 minutes.

Would you take an exercise replacing pill?

“If exercise could be packaged in a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed and beneficial medicine in the nation.” - Robert Butler

I read this article recently about a new pill that could give the same physical benefits of exercise without actually having to do it.

Spoiler – it’s actually intended to replicate the benefits of exercise for people...
