"Realise deeply that the present moment is all you ever have"- Eckhart Tolle I'm trying something new for a few weeks. Every Saturday, I'm going to send you a new email that'll take no longer than 1-2 minutes to read. This means even the busiest of people will be able to scan through it before their coffee cools down. It's going to include one tip on a given subject. I'll cover a lot of strength training, but also sleep, nutrition, stress management, and a range of other topics. The first one...

It's crazy to think, but I love reading health and fitness research. Now, before you call me a boring bas*ard, here me out 😂 I say crazy because I did 6 years of uni, and I had to drag myself to the lecture hall. Studying? Yeah, that was done a couple of days before exams began. Nowadays, though, I find myself reading journals, papers, and research reviews like they're going out of fashion. I've even got a monthly subscription for industry-related research papers, ha. I can confidently say...

No joke. It took me an entire week to recover from my race last week. I did manage to work out three times and run on Saturday morning. Want to know the distance I managed? Barely 3.5km before my legs and mind told me to fu*k off and stop 😂 This week it’s service as usual. I smashed out some easy 140kg deadlifts this afternoon, I’ve logged 12k steps before 5 pm, and I’m back on my supplements - I slacked off last week (I’m human after all). Talking of supplements, over the next few minutes,...

Ouch. Oh. Ouch. Oh. Ouch. Oh. This sums up how I'm walking at the moment. Why? Well, because on Saturday I completed my hardest physical (and mental) challenge to date, and my entire body is paying for it. My hand even started cramping up from using a spoon to eat ice cream Saturday night 😂 My legs are like lead. My calf has a very painful rope burn. My hands have some nasty-looking cuts on them. But do you know what? I'm as happy as a pig in sh*t! So, in today’s email, which I know is a day...

Can you do me a favor please. If you see where the month of May has gone, can you tell me? 🫠When you're busy working on a business you love, time seems to whizz past! Like seriously, I'd be open to a 9-10 day week, seven just isn't enough 😂 It's easy to let your health slip when life gets busy. In my experience, one of the first things to go is nutrition. But the last thing you want to do is fuel your body poorly, but modern living has made that all too easy to do. So, in today’s email, I...

Today’s newsletter comes as a result of a conversation I had a client last week. Long story short, we were talking about high blood pressure and the steps you can take to bring high blood pressure down - without the use of medication. We had a little deep dive and something in particular stood out to me. Her breakfast. Or a lack thereof. I shared some golden nuggets of information that I needed to share with you today. So, let's get stuck into the topic of... Intermittent Fasting. Is It Doing...

It’s my 34th birthday today. Well, technically it was yesterday, as you’re reading this on the 20th, but who cares about technicalities 😂 I've made another successful trip around the sun. I drank some nice wine, ate delicious steak, and explored a new city, all with my fiancée. Birthday weekends don’t get much better. I was going to share some birthday wisdom, but I’ve already done that on LinkedIn. You can check that post out here. Instead, I’m going to dish out one of my most helpful emails...

I want to start this week's newsletter off with some gratitude... For you. Over the last month, the open rate on my emails has almost doubled, so clearly people are enjoying what they're reading. If you're one of those people, I just want to say a massive thank you for taking a few minutes of your time each week to read my email. While you're at it, pat on the back for taking an interest in bettering your health and fitness. The vast majority of the people in the world don't care about their...

I’m going to start this email by making something abundantly clear. → I have no problem with people using weight-loss drugs. However, I do have a problem with people abusing weight loss drugs. In no way do I think that the use of them, by a genuine person in need, automatically makes that person lazy. Everyone else, though? Lazy AF. There’s never been a better time to be alive than right now. Medical and technological advances mean people are living longer than ever before. But there’s a...
