I Now Write For An Online Magazine

 I've recently been asked to write and submit my articles and top tips to an online fitness magazine called Final Fitness.
This is an exciting opportunity for myself and my business.
Please feel free to check out the magazine and I'll post the links to my articles once they are online.

This Weeks Top Tip

When performing incline dumbbel curls make sure to keep the head back against the bench. When the exercise begins to get difficult push your head/neck into the bench as it will help increase neural drive to the biceps and improve concentric strength.


I see so many people perform this exercise whilst tilting their head forward. This leads to a slower communication time between the CNS and the muscle that will inevitably make you weaker!

This Weeks Top Tip

The next time you perform a squat think about pushing the ground away from you instead of pushing the weight up. You'll find the concentric part of the lift much easier.
I use this mentality with clients to instantly improve explosive strength of their lift.

This Weeks Top Tip

According to the Chinese the body is divided into two halves, Yin and Yang.
They believe that there needs to be a perfect balance between the two for optimal health and wellness.

If you ever experience twitching or muscular cramps in the right side of your body this is an indication of a potassium deficiency.
If you ever experience it in your left side, this is a magnesium deficiency.

Both of these minerals are at complete ends of the spectrum - Potassium is an energizing mineral, otherwise known as a Yang product and Magnesium is a relaxant; a Yin product.

So if you're someone who has regular twitching of the eye or cramping of the calf take a note of which side it is and take the appropriate action.

This Weeks Top Tip

When purchasing fruit at the supermarket you need to look for the following numbers to ensure a healthy option.

Conventional Grown Fruit Labels - Begin with a 4

Organically Grown Fruit Labels - Begin with a 9

GMO Grown Fruit Labels - Begin with an 8

Unfortunately manufactures will not state whether their fruit is genetically grown or not and the only way of telling is by this little number.

This Weeks Top Tip

It's time for change... An exercise program is only as good as it takes for the body to adapt.
When it comes to resistance training the body will adapt to the rep ranges first and can take as little as 6-8 workouts.
In regards to CV training it takes the body between 6-8 weeks for muscular adaptations to reach their peak. After this you need to move on and try something else.

I come across so many people who stick to the same workouts for months at a time and then start to complain when they aren't seeing results.
For the next 3 weeks try changing things up a little and watch your results sore to the next level.

Haiti Aid Appeal

As from tomorrow I'll be working over the next two weeks to try and raise as much money as possible for the Haiti Appeal. I'll be donating 100% of my session cost towards the appeal for anyone new who decides to train with me between these dates: 8th Feb - 21 Feb.
The money will go towards a fantastic cause in helping to relieve the suffering. For those of you who haven't yet donated please visit the link below and give whatever money you can. Thank you!
