    E84-Health and Fitness books over TikTok

    In this episode I share my thoughts and experiences regarding why we should consider using books for inspiration and information on all health and fitness related. By taking the time to visit your local book store and purposely deliberate on which book to choose, its likely you'll be more invested into your book of choice, due to the physical experience of venturing out onto the high street or regional shopping center. With the deluge of social media platforms, vying for our 'divided' attention, it' far easier to get distracted within minutes, or even seconds as we play with mobile phones, laptops or smart pads whilst absently scrolling through sensation driven videos, showcasing a 'health guru' or instagram fitness model in Dubai or California. Whilst I'm a firm believer in the use of technology to improve our experiences and knowledge, I also champion the process of reading an actual book to soak up information. As a professional Personal Trainer, I keep a selection of books at home and at work for referencing anatomy and physiology, in order to maintain a balanced view in my quest to provide answers for clients and subscribers alike. A book can be loaned out, gifted to a friend or donated to your local charity shop, for someone else to enjoy it, albeit at a heavily discounted price, whereas it's unlikely you'll do this with a TikTok scroll or IG funny snippet. Our brains are increasingly becoming hard wired to the internet and it's ever growing dominance, culminating in a modern culture of fleeting interest in health topics, rather than taking time out to read, understand and reflect on what our bodies are capable of. Podcasts, audio books and videos all have a place in 2025, of which I'm a collaborator no less...BUT....I always keep an eye out for a great page turner as well. If an author has worked tirelessly to write a book, with or without assistance, give him or her your attention and hard earned cash for their efforts and remember to share what you've learned.

    E83 - Personal Trainer answers questions

    My guest in this episode is Carrianne Dukes, returning to the channel to reverse roles and ask me questions on all things health and fitness. This light hearted and honest discussion provides answers and solutions to a range of topics, requested by Carrianne, from body weight reduction and navigating the inevitable plateau in exercise, to battling low moods or addictions. During the Q and A, you may here something that resonates with you personally or even a work colleague, family member or friend. With this in mind, perhaps you could reflect on past decisions or choices that have negatively effected your health and what you could do to either reduce or even completely reverse the aforementioned decisions. As a professional trainer I've witnessed a multitude of scenarios that can lead to poor or sub standard physical and mental health, after thousands of appointments over the past 17 years, since qualifying in sports massage therapy and personal training. Some of my experiences and answers may seem too simple or 'easy' and not exotic enough compared to the deluge of internet sensations / flavor of the month solutions, available on various platforms, however my mantra remains.....do the simple things, consistently folks. My thanks goes out to Carrianne for joining me and taking time out from her busy work / life schedule, of which I'm grateful for. Enjoy the discussion and hop over to YouTube to watch the video.

    E82-Stop waiting to start exercising

    In this short episode, I send out a reminder to stop procrastinating, when it comes to starting your health improvements. Mid February and we still see and hear of a work colleague, friend, family member or neighbor claiming to start getting fit......next month.... This is the norm for the majority of people who habitually avoid the mild or moderate discomfort of starting their weight loss or body fat reduction plan. Often the reasons to delay exercising and improving nutritional intake range from the winter weather and post Christmas blues to 'my friends won't exercise with me' or I'm waiting for my beach holiday in July to start losing weight'. Our physical health is without question the most important thing in life, as without it, we are venerable to a multitude of illnesses, injury, emotional distress and in some cases, social exclusion. This episode may seem abrupt, harsh or jarring, but it's coming from a place of care, experience and professional practice. Folks, don't delay your health kick, start today - not tomorrow.

    E79 - Ten healthy tips for the new year

    In this discussion, I share my ten tips for a healthier start to your new year. Historically January is subject to a deluge of good, but short lived healthy intensions, from quitting smoking and alcohol to starting exercise and high quality nutrition. Whilst these are the most common healthy promises, they are also frequently curtailed by the person in question, due to lack of motivation, poor self discipline, time constraints and or various other factors. During my career in Personal Training, I often suggest a client, new or existing focus on one adjustment to start with in January, allowing for higher probability of success, meaning the client is still on course with his or her chosen factor in health improvements. Should the client maintain the motivation and discipline past approximately 12 weeks or more, its statistically proven to continue into the second quarter of the year, which by then the healthy habit could be the norm and not simply a 'new year, new me' fad. Take a listen to my ten suggestions and be realistic with your health goals by way of picking one or two from the list and good luck with your efforts. Watch the full episode on YouTube, listen on Spotify, Amazon Music or Apple Podcasts. Feel free to share this channel, with someone you think might benefit from the free content. Happy new year and thanks for listening.
