It seems that wherever you look, whether it's the Internet, your local supermarket or on TV, there's someone raving on about a particular food and how it's essential as it's a 'Super Food'.

It's amazing how life can take up more than you think it does and the things you've always thought were reality, in actual fact, aren't. Below is a statement about how life is for the daughter of a busy man, one just like you. "Just one of the many adventures we’ve had together was when I was about eight or nine, [when] my daddy took me to a monster truck show. It was awesome! We got lots of cotton candy and toy souvenirs …. It has been about five years and I’ve noticed my dad and I doing less and

Every year it seems that Xmas starts earlier and earlier. I was in a well known supermarket a couple of weeks ago and they had already started stocking Xmas-themed foods and products. The beginning of October! As far as im concerned Xmas doesn't start until that glitter covered train appears on the TV and I hear "Holidays Are Coming..." You know I'm right! Now, I know you guys are busy, lots of hours spent in the office doing something 'important'. Well, I assume it must be as you choose to do that over going home to spend time with your

When I was in college, I studied quite a few different subjects. Of course there was the standard Physical Education A Level you'd expect someone interested in sport and fitness to take. But alongside that, I studied sociology, psychology and also philosophy I loved social sciences, particularly psychology and the theory behind human behaviour. 'Why we think the things we do.' 'Do the things we do.' 'Or don't' on many occasions, 'Even when we know deep down we should!' I remember discussing the theory behind people that became aggressive because of frustration. It's actually called 'The Frustration/Aggression Hypothesis' and was proposed way back in 1930's by Dollard, Doob, Miller, Mower, and Sears. It goes some way to explain why some people get angry and confrontational when they are denied success

Your Most Precious Resource

When I sent out my email yesterday, I didn't realise how much it would resonate with so many of you. The hourglass was seen by many as a representation of Time. You may not realise it, but Time is your most precious resource. It can determine so much about you, what you can do. What you can't do. Yet we are quick to waste it on things and people we neither need nor want. And when we are short of Time, we panic, filling what we do have with pointless tasks, that serve no purpose for what we truly want. Choosing to finish one last thing in the office instead of heading home for quality

Creating 'Bespoke' Through 'Biofeedback.' You may be wondering what it is, why it’s important and what the ’ does it have to do with you? All relevant questions I may add! The purpose of this short article is to help explain what it is & why it’s something I focus on throughout my coaching programmes. For a truly successful transformation ‘THAT LASTS’, we need to look at ourselves as what we truly are, ‘Individual’. Yes, we have many characteristics that are similar and we react to many things in much the same way, but at the same time

Kings of The Compound Pt.1: Squat

Along with the deadlift, the squat is one of the best compound exercises available to build strength and mass in an athlete. Unfortunately, just like the deadlift, it is an exercise performed incorrectly by so many gym goers. I have seen personal trainers and fitness instructors not only perform the squat incorrectly, but also teach incorrect form to clients and gym members. This is both frustrating and dangerous. The squat engages the core in much the same way as the deadlift does. The biomechanics of the body make the squat a very natural movement to perform. In fact many of
