Lack Motivation? Sign up For An Event!

I often see billboards advertising sporting events. Usually they don’t get much more of my time than a bat of the eyelid and brief glance. I don’t really know why - perhaps its because I’m a bit of a cheapskate and don’t like paying too much for something. I’m talking about things like marathons, half […]

Nutrition - Choice or Circumstance?

When I think of nutrition I think of health. The two words seem to go hand in hand. I was just wondering though - why do we have to pay more for health? Health food shops are so darn expensive… gym memberships cost the earth, bio-fuel is way more expensive than normal - and junk […]

Map Your Run

Recently a friend of mine decided we would all run with him for his party. He turned 21 - so that meant we were to run 21 kilometers. Thats 13 miles - half a marathon. I’m glad he didn’t say 21 miles. Anyway the invite was a map of the run. I thought he was […]

Celebrate In The Face Of Failure

So you set your time frame, you created clear, achievable goals – you journalled every day and you stuck to the plan. Yet you did not achieve success.
Well guess what, its not a cause for doom and gloom. It’s not a reason to cry and eat chocolate and icecream. It’s a reason to celebrate. […]

So […]

High Intensity Interval Training Part Two

 
I’m about to go for a run. First I’ll write this article and come back to write part three. One has to really believe in what one writes about! Living proof so to speak…
 
So I spoke about saving time. Isn’t that one of the themes of the western world today? I enjoy saving time […]

Why Doesn’t Everyone Have Six-Pack Abs?

I’ve yet to meet anyone who is really comfortable being overweight. Either they complain about it from an attractiveness perspective, or they suffer from obesity related problems (such as lack of energy, prone to sickness, depression etc).
So it’s pretty obvious that most people would like to have six pack abs. Many of those […]

Three Week Blitz - Week 2 Day 3

I went for a run today. And man was it cold! My legs were so sluggish - I usually warm up for about 10-12 mins - but I just wasn’t getting any warmer!! After a 10 minute run around the block - well, heaving myself around the block - I started some HIIT training (article […]

But what if I fail?

Have you ever wanted to get rid of extra body fat for good? Do you dream of finally getting those six-pack abs by completely changing your lifestyle so that you’re eating healthier and working out on a consistent basis? If you’re anything like me, you’ve set out to accomplish that feat many times […]

The Secret Of Setting Goals And Achieving Them

Generally a goal is something you want to achieve that you haven’t yet achieved. Almost everyone has set goals at some point in their lives, whether they be related to education, money, business, skills or hobbies, travel or experiences, overcoming phobias and yes, fitness related goals such as weight loss or gaining muscle.
Most schools […]
