Lacking an exercise routine or motivation? My top 10 tips on getting back into gear

We’ve all done it. Taken a day off the gym and all of a sudden the weeks are ticking by. At one point you’d be exercising religiously, missing a day was almost a sin, but now? Life happened and you’re sat on your sofa feeling guiltier and guiltier over your lack of fitness routine. Perhaps…

A day in the Lake District: Red Pike

As mention previously in my first Lake District post (which is all about Skiddaw if you're interested), this August, we decided to complete the three-hour journey up to the Lake District, to a small market town nestled in the northwest of the Lakes called Keswick.

Grenade Product Reviews

My poor Fitbit Charge HR had fallen victim to the standard problems of deep screen scratches, cracks running down the plastic and the band bubbling, basically in simple terms, it looked awful. Of course I was a…

Has illness killed your exercise motivation?

This is a bit of a long post, but a twitter user inspired me to write it, and as I wrote I had so many ideas that I couldn't leave out! They reached out asking how I would tackle increasing, and maintaining fitness levels with a syndrome called chronic fibromyalgia. Completely unheard of to me,…

How to Combine Fitness and Travel

Recently, I've found that trying to stay fitness motivated whilst travelling is one of life's biggest challenges, and no I'm not exaggerating. I love to exercise. I spend countless hours at the gym pretty much every day of the week, or whenever my busy work schedule allows me to. If I can't get to the…
