How to achieve your health and fitness goals
A
AH, JANUARY, the fitness industry’s favourite month – proceed with caution! It is truly difficult to navigate through the various approaches to fitness and nutrition when everything from juice diets to six meals a day, ten-minute abs to insanely high volume programmes are on the menu.
The truth about optimal health and fitness and achieving your goals is that it can be pretty simple, but not easy. That’s where most falter, wanting an easy way out or a quick fix. If there was one, I’d like to think I’d have found it by now.
What I have found over the last 10 years in fitness is that fads come and go but the fundamental training and nutrition principles remain.
One undeniable truth is, our bodies are made to move, so to look and feel good, and for your body to function at its best, you need to move and move well.
Another undeniable truth is that our bodies thrive on real food. Both of these need to be the foundation of any attempt to get into better shape.
If you need help with getting started – and, importantly continuing to improve your health and fitness – I can promise a real education in training and nutrition. I will meet you at your current level – whether that be under- or overweight, injured, in chronic pain or just exhausted from the stress of trying to juggle your personal health with all your other responsibilities – and will plan and progress from there.
