I haven’t done a barbell bicep curl in a LONG time! Barbell curls are in the category of exercises that I used to think I ‘HAD’ to do, alongside flat bench press, squats, & many other so called ‘staples’ (basically anything that Arnold did 😂). However, I now favour bicep exercises that fit […]
Calorically conscious cottage pie (try saying that 5 times 😂). First time run at this, and it came out pretty good (Even if I do say so myself ha ha)! Ingredients: 1kcal spray 500g 5% lean mince beef 2 onions, finely chopped 3 carrots, chopped 3 celery sticks, chopped I squeeze of ‘easy’ garlic […]
Don’t look back unless it’s to see how far you have come… 📷I thought I’d share some older progress photos alongside my recent updates, but with some greater context. I’m not claiming I was ever massively overweight but it’s what you can’t see that makes a bigger difference to me: 1️⃣In October 2017, I finally […]
I train a wide variety of age groups, ranging from 19-63, everybody is different & everyone’s goals vary. Lynne is 62 and her goal is to defy the frailty that can come with getting older. She’s doing things she’s never done before and is always up for the challenge! One of the many reasons I […]

A quick one on Fruit: Carbs with only 1 unit of sugar are called ‘simple sugars’, but their formal name is ‘monosaccharide’ (it’s Greek ha). Fruit also falls into this category as Fructose. In my experience, fruit tends me either something people remove completely( often through fear of sugar content) or something that people overeat on, […]
Every exercise in your program should have a prescribed rest time between sets for you to stick to. Taking the required rest time between sets allows your muscles to recover & replenish energy stores, it also allows you to mentally prepare for the following set. Timing your rest periods also keeps you present in […]

Amy and I went to our friends wedding and we had an amazing time! We ate, drank, danced, laughed, chased cows (don’t ask), caught up with best friends & I started a new bromance! What a day! I’m not teetotal, & I often say I only drink on special occasions, and this day was […]
I’ve worked in the fitness industry for over 20 years & I have NEVER posted a topless photo of myself EVER…until now! I prefer to keep myself covered up in out & of the gym & I don’t actually enjoy having my photo taken. I’ve never felt fully comfortable in front of the camera & I don’t […]
