I Feel Like A New Person

Not so long ago one of the lovely ladies who attends my fitness classes came up to me with a problem. She said: ‘Jamie I need you to help me out with my eating’ After a bit of digging from me I realised what the problem was with her diet (I’m sure many of you […]

Hot Drink Has More Salt Than The Sea

It was on the radio this week that Galaxy Ultimate Marshmallow Hot Chocolate powder has more salt in it than sea water! It contains 0.6g per serving which is a lot more than the recommended intake. I’ve spoken a few times about salt in the past. The last time I mentioned it as being good. […]

My New Gym

As you know I train out of my private little studio over in sunny Bynea, Llanelli. When first starting out I had the choice of going into a public gym (paying extortionate rent to them) and working there or I could set up on my own. I did think long and hard about this at […]

The January Doors Are Open (1 Space Left)

Good morning, So December is officially upon us. Probably the craziest month of the year, the month where some people write off doing anything remotely productive until the New Year. The month where some people who aren’t happy with their weight/shape decide that they’re going to put on another half a stone to a stone […]

Don’t Be A Slave To The Dreaded Scales (Sad Step)

I see this week in week out. With people at the gym, clients, slimming club members, friends and family. They get taken on an absolute roller coaster ride by their weighing scales. The scales make them feel happy one minute and like they’re doing well and then sad, disappointed and like a failure the next. […]

5 Essential Nutrients (Do You Get Enough?)

After 7 years in the fitness industry I’m not so easily shocked anymore. In fairness the people I work with are at least trying to do something about their health. Others which I know and see are so far away from even that. Some people’s diets are appalling. I still experience people who when asked […]

Our Weekend Of Cooking

How often do you eat out? When I was younger eating out used to be a real treat. Now it seems the norm. Every occasion calls for it: – Celebrating – Commiserating – Boredom There’s so many restaurants to choose from and tempt us. One positive is there are many more healthy options when eating […]

What’s Your Plan For Next Year?

Hey there, Hope you have had an amazing Christmas and are still enjoying a bit of well earned time off. The end of the year is nearly here! I’m enjoying some much needed time off, hence why you haven’t heard much from me this week. I need a rest as January promises to be a crazy old […]

15 Lbs Down And Starting To Enjoy Exercise

Yo yo! Another busy week at HQ! Finished off an interesting course yesterday, PSI (postural stability instructor). Was a really good course and interesting! For me it really hit home about how we need to look after ourselves to avoid the many many health problems associated with ageing. Not for me thanks! Look after yourself […]
