Weight Loss Shakes - The Devil In A Sachet
I recently had a chat with a client about his breakfast habits. His food diary read “a shake” every morning of the week and despite repeated encouragement to have something a little more substantial it was the one thing we wasn’t willing to budge on. I compromised and said I was willing to let the breakfast thing slide if he was willing to give up the fruit juice in the evening with his dinner. He agreed and we both went away feeling like we hadn’t given up too much ground in the PT / Client battle for clean eating vs. habits and luxuries.
It was a couple of weeks later that we were having a chat in the studio with another trainer when the subject of the “the shake” came up again and the name of a popular weight loss brand was mentioned..

Not having the motivation is the last excuse we are going to destroy in our “I DON'T HAVE THE.......” series of articles identifying the causes of in-activity and helping you find your way around them.
Apathy is something which affects us all in life and its root cause is motivation, if we absolutely HAVE to do something then it gets done. If we can get by without doing it then it more than likely will be forgotten about or just ignored.

I DON'T HAVE THE........MONEY
TOP 5 TIPS TO MANAGE YOUR MONEY BETTER
Not having enough money is the next excuse we are going to smash in our “I DON'T HAVE THE.......” series of articles identifying the causes of in-activity and helping you find your way around them.
Money is all powerful, we need it to survive in the world and although some people place more importance on money than others the fact still remains that we need money to live the lifestyle that makes us happy. It is also a widely accepted view that we need our health to live that same lifestyle and to be happy. Without our health it is unlikely that we will even be able to earn the money in the first place and thus one is very much dependent on the other. So it follows that we should use our money to help us look after our health.........and use our health to help us look after our money.

I Don’t Have The…….TIME
TOP 5 TIPS TO HELP YOU FIND THE TIME TO EXERCISE
In the first article of the "I DON'T HAVE THE........." series we are going to examine the excuse of not having enough time to exercise and see if we cant find a few ways around it.
In a rapidly evolving and increasingly fluid world, time is becoming our biggest and possibly most elusive asset. How many times have you heard someone say that they just don’t have enough time in the day. We all have seemingly endless to-do lists that never get completed. The essential things that revolve around work and looking after other people seem to take over and leave little opportunity for leisure activities. Making time related excuses for not doing the things we enjoy have almost become part of our regular vocabulary;
“I would but I just have too many other commitments”
“I’m going to start next year when things have quietened down a bit”
“It’s all so hectic at the moment, I just can’t afford the time”
“What with work and the kids, there just aren’t enough hours in the day”

Got Cravings? Stop Them From Controlling Your Life!
Craving (Krey-ving) - noun
A great or eager desire; yearning
……….sound familiar???
It’s February, news years resolutions are still fresh in the mind and people are trying to lose weight. Everyone seems to be on a diet. They are changing their eating habits and making a concerted effort to cut out the bad things which were habitual and eat all the healthy things that they have read will make them thinner. This can be torturous, I know from past experience. When you love eating something and then suddenly it’s not allowed it seems unfair and that can turn into a craving. Dieters are focused on what they should or shouldn’t be eating and avoiding those naughty “X” foods. There is a abundance of confusing and seemingly contradictory advice out there too, it can be hard to know what to eat and when to eat it. I propose that the question we should be asking ourselves relating to food before the what, the when and the how ….……is the WHY???

Fitness In Golf - It's Here To Stay!
Fitness in Golf - It's Here to Stay!
The game of golf has changed for good and there is no going back.
The full impact of the "Tiger Effect" has now been registered and golfers are becoming athletes. Of the top 20 players in the official world golf ranking, 10 are 30 or below and 13 have quite obviously athletic physiques. Even the pros with slightly "rounder" figures such as Kenny Perry and Phil Mickleson are working with strength and conditioning experts to make their swings more dynamic and powerful. Players are getting stronger, fitter, leaner and more flexible and it is clearly paying dividends.
