A year ago this week one of my members and I embarked upon a challenge of the like we hadn’t attempted before We entered the Macmillan Mighty Hike which was advertised as a marathon distance hike along the coastline and in the countryside of Dorset It seemed like a good idea at the time….and that’s […]

The non-negotiable habits for better EVERYTHING

5th March 2020

I often get asked for the ONE thing that will make the difference in weight-loss   The thing to understand and ACCEPT is that there is no ONE THING that I can tell you   There are no magic fixes   There are no weight-loss secrets   Fundamentally there are just a set of BORING […]
