I’m always fascinated with what each of us puts up with when other people don’t because we all make different decisions which lead to our different lives. One decision that I have always made is not to suffer with pain and today I realised that you might be interested in how I do that. So here goes….
I’m pushing myself to produce a short course on metabolism because I want to produce it in a way that is new for me. I want to use video because I like the idea of going back to being a gym instructor and personal trainer. I can say so much more when I don’t have to write it down so …
After making a roasted apple cream tea I just had to try roasted pear and that was just as heavenly!!! It was an improvised cream tea of fruit sour dough creme fraiche with black currant jam and roasted pear
Workouts are how you get strong right? Wrong!!! Yep, despite all the emphasis on lifting weights, running and all manner of ways to push your body not one of these things actually makes you stronger.
When I started Fit2Thrive I wanted to do a series of articles exploring how to embed healthy routines, including plenty of movement, into different lifestyles and occupations. People ask me how a lawyer, journalist, teacher or software developer could move throughout their day and they are surprised how many simple and easy answers I have.
I’m just trying to challenge your preconceptions. I’ve been looking for ways to spice up dessert and options other than cream. Creme fraiche is becoming a staple but I still wanted something else so I don’t get bored.
A set of posts I want to write are about the amazing people and references I have come across over time. I have learnt so much from these guys that I use to make every day more special so I want you to be able to benefit as I do.
So I’ve been thinking about the next steps for Fit2Thrive. I like a lot of the posts that I’ve created so far but I still need to explain more clearly the message behind the site. You see, for years I have been exploring human health and been convinced that there are easy ways to achieve great health for most people …
It’s not everyday that you find out that your grandad worked alongside a world renowned genius. I’m not sure how much you know about Milton Keynes, the city in which I live, but it continually astounds me that it is actually world famous. Not in an obvious way because plenty of people in the UK wouldn’t know where it is …
After watching this video I just want to go and explore!! How about you? Further references
I love fruit but I can get bored of it so I’m experimenting with ways to make it a little more exciting. This example is by cooking it to change its flavour and texture to make for a different experience.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with the modern world what I think is wrong is how little we all know about ourselves. You see, I started to explain the basics behind fat loss to my wife and that led me to the core biological process behind metabolism. It’s no more complex than explaining photosynthesis yet it overwhelmed her.
Big Hero 6 was a film I wanted to see right from the first time I saw the trailer and one of the best things about having a 3 year old boy is that I get to watch kids films like this.
Another photo from another walk. This is I believe a 12th century church reminding us brits of the norman conquest. It is also a pretty building in a lovely landscape. I had a little fun trying a black and white filter and in trying to find a good composition for the shot because I am a real beginner. It also …
I’m not talking fruit juice. I’m talking fruit you buy at the grocers or super market or get in the garden. Apples. Pears. Oranges. Jut a simple point but when you want a drink your pour yourself something don’t you. A tea or coffee. A milkshake or got chocolate or just plain water or maybe a fruit juice. You are …
Are you who you are because of the way you were born or because of how you were raised? This is the age old question of nature and nurture and I like to challenge you by asking this question about yourself. 1) Are you the same in all situations, no matter what pressures are on you, so you could argue that …
There are so many myths and misconceptions regarding exercise and movement that we generally miss the most important value of each workout or even each individual movement. The body is always trying to predict what it needs for the future, and it takes your actions, not your thoughts, as a guide. This means that your daily movement is always the …
Everyone of us has a different set of needs so when you workout, do you start by considering what you want your workout to achieve? I look at how a workout might influence your brain and what a walk in the woods with your kids can do for you. Ultimately it’s about you, what are your goals, what do you …
I am Listening to a wonderful unstuckable podcast episode Episode 148: Minimalism Is Focusing On What You Value Most Says Joel Zaslofsky and loving it because I am hearing all about how to reduce your life down to what really matters.
I’m very proud to share my wife kats wonderful post on how to halve your shopping bill easily because it has worked wonderfully for us. It’s basically about the benefits of shopping online and we proved the value to ourselves this Christmas because for the first time in well over a year we actually did our big shop in store instead of …
