Christmas is definitely a time of year where you should let your hair down and enjoy some extra time with your family and friends. People ‘on average’ tend to put on an extra 5 pounds over the festive season, due to excess food and drink and letting their workouts fall by the way side…. I [...]

Because we know how to have a good time whilst still taking good care of our [...]

Last Tuesday I had an operation on my left shoulder to repair a rotator cuff tear and to remove the calcification build up. I have to say I don’t deal with pain, blood or needles very well so this really wasn’t a good situation for me but I had to be big and strong and [...]

This 600 calorie diet is all over the news right now and this really scares me silly. Scientists at Newcastle University claim an extremely low calorie diet can cure type 2 diabetes. Fantastic findings but not quite giving out the right message to the public. If you have type 2 diabetes or have been told [...]

By doing this you are going to be far more successful instead of throwing in the towel when things get tough, you’ll be able to cruise on through. [...]
