Why Competition Is Healthy

Why Competition Is Healthy

Competition is something that surrounds us everyday, in one way or another. Whether it is in sport, where individuals or teams compete against each other to be best at their chosen skillset. Or, in business, where companies work to create the next best product, ahead of rival companies. And, my personal favourite, competing against yourself;

The pandemic has been incredibly tough, and continues to be so. People across the globe are still suffering tremendously from the effects and the fall out. So the last thing I would want to do is trivialise the situation with pointers for how a little more “self work” could make everyone better off. But what

Understanding ‘DOMS’

| November 20, 2020 | 0 comments
We’ve all been there, we’ve all experienced it, we all recognise the feeling. The dreaded, debilitating, down right nasty ‘DOMS’, or delayed onset muscle soreness. But what do you understand about the term, what it means and how it impacts our progress in the gym? ‘DOMS’ is usually experienced one to two days after a

Getting back into training can be SO HARD postpartum. This is particularly so if you’re someone who was pretty active before getting pregnant, and/or during pregnancy. It can feel incredibly frustrating when all you want is to get back to your pre-pregnant self, both physically and mentally.  I‘ve been there and can totally understand these

Mental Health and Me: My Story Told My Way

The average person will walk over 150,000km in their lifetime. That equates to somewhere between 180 and 200 million footsteps. When you think about it, that’s a lot of work for our feet. And yet, how many of us carry out any level of training for our feet? How many of us think of all those

Stress: Could it be stopping you reaching your goals?

| October 11, 2020 | 0 comments
The human body is pretty clever. It heals itself from minor (and sometimes major) trauma, can grow and support another life, and can achieve major feats of endurance, strength and resilience. Its capacity to adapt and respond to changing stimulus in the environment is incredible. All of the aforementioned situations promote a stress response in
