BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!

Sorry not to have been around for a few days but now that the snow is a dim and distant memory and Spring seems to be just around the corner, my clients seem to be getting Spring Fever! My week turned itself inside out and I've been dashing around Woking visiting clients at home and spending time at Peak Fitness delivering Personal Training sessions like a thing possessed!

What's given me the energy to do this has been the fact that for the last 28 days I've been following Dax Moy's Elimination Diet - click here to get your free copy. It's a great way to "clean up" your eating habits and, having done most diets out there, it really doesn't feel like being on a diet as it fits in really well with my Weight Loss Coaching methods. I feel really alive and clean, I've lost 7lb and my energy levels have hit the roof!

Of course, as well as eating a clean diet (or as clean as possible - I'm human first and Personal Trainer second and operate on the 20/80 rule - I endeavour to eat 100% healthily 80% of the time), I do practice what I preach by exercising daily - it gives me energy! That's the key really - being consistent. I really believe that you're better off exercising to a high intensity for as little as 10-20 minutes a day every day rather than a once a week low intensity slog.

The more you do the more you can do, the less you do the less you're able to do. Yes, it's the old "use it or lose it" mantra!

Also important is variety: power walking or running one day, resistance work the next, yoga/Pilates, spinning, swimming, a class - the list goes on and on. You need to find something you enjoy or you won't keep it up. I try to offer my clients as much variety as possible: 1-2-1 Personal Training, 2-2-1 Personal Training, group Power Walking, we train at Peak Fitness, in their home/garden in Woking Park, along Basingstoke canal, we use their own bodywieght, dumbbells, resistance tubes, a ball, a BOSU, boxing, circuit training, a little bit of everything!

I hope that's given you some ideas to either get you going or keep you going with your health and fitness.
