 I and many others are promoting the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle, but what does that actually mean?  In general, most would agree that a healthy person doesn’t smoke, is at a healthy weight, eats a balanced healthy diet, thinks positively, feels relaxed, exercises regularly, has good relationships, and benefits from a good life balance. Maybe I should start by trying to look at a few definitions for the word - lifestyle. A definition in The American Herita...

Many apologies for not writing for many, many days. A month, that long, ooops. Yes, I know — many of you have probably given up on me by now. Unfortunately, a number of things have caught up with me over the past month, here’s just a few of them: ·         Starting up a new business and new offices  ·         Contending with the calm veneer of a hormonal 17 year old sitting AS Levels (sorry babes) ·         A particular job  that took much, much longer to prepare than I had anticipated  ·    ...

  THE LONGEST JOURNEY STARTS WITH THE FIRST STEP  I just wonder if you’ve ever experienced the following situation. That when your morning starts badly for you, everything seems to go downhill from there. You end up being in a negative frame of mind most of the day, you lose control of your healthy eating intentions and end up eating more food and making wrong choices, and the whole day feels like a losing battle. Just because you had a bad start to the day. So is this something you’ve experi... Read Full Story

Our Healthy Lifestyle plan starts with the steps to creating a successful day right from the start of each and every brand new day.

More often than not, every journey I took, I would listen [...] Read Full Story

In the twenty years I have been working actively in the fitness industry I have never ceased to be amazed by the things I have seen and heard in relation to lifestyles that people come to accept as the norm when, in fact, their quality of life is far less than they deserve or should expect, no matter how it has been occasioned.  Too often people who have been diagnosed with such conditions as arthritis, rheumatism, diabetes, depression, back problems or stress, seem to immediately start their...
