The Jurassic Coast is 250 million years old, 95 miles long and England’s first natural World Heritage Site. This rugged landscape is probably most famous for Lulworth Cove which was left behind by the last…
At the end of May I turned 40. As I sit here writing this, I can’t quite make the link between that number and the fact that I am indeed, now 40. I don’t feel…
I received a Power Roller Plus from Body Sculpture in return for the following review. All thoughts are my own and I will only recommend products that I am happy to use myself. If you…
When you’re a runner, it’s easy to neglect the strength exercises that are beneficial to your training. I’ve been there. You live off the adrenaline of the next sweat fuelled run, trying to push your…
Here’s the thing. I love kettlebells. They’re currently my favourite piece of exercise equipment, and I use them in nearly every circuit I teach. They’re also included in every circuit I do myself. The past…
‘Come on then, what do vegans eat?’ I swear I could hear the air quotes going up around the word vegans as she said it. I sighed, rolled my eyes and shouted from the toilet…
So, here’s the thing. I hate shopping. Any kind of shopping. If I could order everything online and never step into another shop or changing room again – I would. Unfortunately, life’s just not that…
Time for another workout! This is a circuit I did with a personal training client a few weeks ago (more on that coming soon) Do each exercise for 45-seconds working as hard as you can,…
One of the hardest things for me to deal with is animal abuse and neglect. This is something I struggle with a lot. While I realise I’m not Wonder Woman, I still find it difficult…
I never thought I’d see the day where I’d be teaching a circuit class. Aerobics, step and spinning – yes. But circuit? Never. Teaching step aerobics used to be my happy place, and I loved…
The last 12 months have seen some major changes for vegans and eating out is becoming easier than ever. With places like Prezzo, Zizzi, Wagamama, Pizza Hut and Pizza Express offering vegan options on their…
So, here we are. Another year has been and gone and I can’t believe only a couple of weeks ago I was saying good riddance to 2017. So much happened during the last 12 months,…
This month I took delivery of my second lifestyle subscription box from The Vegan Kind. Last month there were some incredibly tasty treats, but this month’s box was so yummy we’d eaten half of it…
Ever since I completed the 2016 Chester half-marathon, I’ve been desperate to train for another event. Unfortunately, life had other plans. It’s like there’s been a universal conspiracy preventing me from taking part in anything…
When I was making the transition from vegetarian to vegan, the one thing I struggled to give up was cheese. It wasn’t even like I was a big cheese monster. I hated cheese. Well, cold…
I’ve always been a bit sceptical about subscription boxes, and my experience with Abel and Cole last year didn’t do anything to dispel that scepticism. But after lusting after The Vegan Kind boxes for several…
If you’re concerned about how to stay fit and healthy while you’re on holiday – you’re not on your own. While a lot of people use a holiday as an excuse to eat and drink…
My fitness journey started roughly 24 years ago when I was about 15 years old. As I write these words I find it difficult to believe I’ve been exercising and keeping myself fit for over…
I’m a little bit behind with some of my posts at the moment. Unfortunately, I have the attention span of a goldfish which means I get easily distracted by shiny objects. Luckily, I have Lightroom…
