Iceland

Most people's idea of a Holiday normally consists of sun an sand, but if you limit yourself to only going to places for the weather, you're missing out on half the world.

New Year Detox

Its common knowledge that over the Christmas period we tend to overindulge and let our diets slip (or in my case forget the diet completely), so when it comes round to January we feel that a detox is in order. And while a cleanse isn't a bad thing, its not a good idea to mix various herbal remedies together.

Food Diary 5.12.16 - 09.12.16

Every morning I have 3/4 eggs scrambled with coconut milk and half a tin of beans. Hardly exciting but a good source of protein after my workout.
I take a packed lunch to work:
- Grilled Chicken fillet
- Green Beans
- Baby Sweetcorn
- Mange Tout
- Spinach

My Music Playlist

When I'm at the gym I have to be listening to music, a good base line gets me through any set. Now I have a pretty varied music taste, from anything from show tunes to rock music, but as I said.... when I'm at the gym I need a heavy baseline (or a catchy pop song)

Staying Active on Holiday

I recently spent a week in Tenerife, and although a holiday is a great time to relax, I still need to stay active. I was thrilled to find out that the hotel I was staying in was equipped with a gym, however once I got there and checked it out I realised it was less of a 'gym' and more of a room with a couple of hand weights. 

Obviously my idea of getting in a normal workout wasn't going to happen, but adaptations were made so I still managed to do something.

Running Away

Running - its bad for your knees so why bother?

My Top 5 Outdoor Exercises

Summer is around the corner, so why not take your workout outside!?

My local park has a fitness area with equipment, therefore I have adapted equipment into a few of my exercises, but don't worry they can all be done without equipment.
