This time of the year can be problematic for people staying on course with their health or weight loss goals. Being informed and having a plan is the best way to approach the holiday season!
Playing the ignorant card or saying “I’ll start being healthy with the new diet after Christmas or in the New Year,” gives way to mindless uncontrolled behaviours taking you further away from your goals…
How to obtain FREE fitness and health advice from experts
Obtaining free information and expertise is something that has become abundant in this day and age.
Our smartphones contain more information than an encyclopaedia or even library… and the good news is that most of it’s for free!
With a surplus of information at hand, the only thing we need to be good at is detecting BS.
I think in general, people have become wise to detecting snake oil salesmen. Online reviews and social media keep everyone well informed.

Making a plan for 2018
As the end of 2017 draws to a near, it’s about that time when we must look at what will be ahead for next year.
I’m not suggesting that it’s time to take the foot off the gas in 2017. In fact, the opposite. We all must aim to milk as much out of 2017 as possible.
Love is love – Equality and lessons learned
I’m not someone who usually comments and shares my views on political and social issues. However, I felt compelled after yesterday, to share and celebrate the many Australians that can deservedly, be treated as equals.
Australia voted YES for same sex marriage. Continue reading “Love is love – Equality and lessons learned”
How to start being healthy when you don’t feel like it
Often, the thought of starting a healthy plan or diet can be worse than actually doing it.

Discomfort is the key

How to set fitness and health goals effectively
The notion of setting goals can conjure up both positive and negative associations depending on past experiences or how necessary we think they are.

But there is no way around improvement and achievement without defining WHAT it is we’re aiming to improve. Continue reading “How to set fitness and health goals effectively”
Application trumps information
In today’s day and age, there is no shortage of information and anything that you need to know, can be found at the touch of a button or swipe of a smartphone. In fact, famous futurist author Brett King, said, “A child in Mumbai has access to more information on his smartphone than the President of the United States had 20 years ago.” Continue reading “Application trumps information”
How to holiday without getting fat
Getting in shape and dropping body fat for an impending holiday is a common request that I get from my clients. It is completely understandable as people often are escaping to a warmer climate and will be lounging by the pool in their bikinis or board shorts and want to look their best. My advice is always centred on long-term health and that being in shape should not be a once or twice a year goal. Continue reading “How to holiday without getting fat”
