Two weeks ago I attempted to start running. I say "attempted" because I did two runs and then realised that I was totally and utterly unequipped to take on the challenge. As a total non-runner, I had thought that just sticking on some trainers and downloading an...
Continuing along the whole "health and fitness" vein; some useful beauty products that I take with me to the gym. On video for your entertainment - and boy is it entertaining. Especially if you like the word "moist", or want to have the mental image of me doing naked...
It is the year of the slug. Well it is for me, at any rate. I have never been quite so sedentary; whole days - weeks - sat virtually motionless in front of the computer. If an alien landed and peered in through my office window, it would probably think I was dead, but...
I am now eight days into a home workout "programme" called the 30 Day Shred. You may have heard of it before - you might have even heard it from me - but I thought I'd tell you a little bit about what it is and run through some pros and cons. The 30 Day Shred is a...
Following on from the diet tips video (see here for that) we have my top five fitness and exercise tips. All common sense, again, with a few rambling old thoughts thrown in for good measure. I'm on a bit of a fitness kick at the moment - I want to try lots of new...
I write this with aching, heavy limbs but an amazing sense of satisfaction and achievement: I completed my first ever session at Barry's Bootcamp. Those from the states might have heard of Barry's before; it has something of a cult status in LA and New York and is...
I went for a proper, full-on massage with Jarod Chapman last week. By full-on, I'm not referring to "extras" (you dirty lot!) but to the level of intensity and expertise - muscle-wise, there was no stone left unturned. (Oh GROW UP would you! Stop sniggering at the...
Over the last week I have been really trying to regain the flat tummy of the Educogym days (which I am returning to, by the way, just as soon as I finish off my five gazillion bits of writing for various people!) and so I have been cutting out a lot of my usual carbs....
I have given this post a ridiculous title because I could literally write that many posts on things you can do to get a more svelte, toned figure. Recipes, little exercises, mental trickery, self-brainwashing, all kinds of things could make their way into a series of...
I often stop to help people with their prams and cases and so on when I'm in tube stations - usually because nobody else will and I just feel far too sorry for them. Don't get me wrong, I'm no 'good samaritan', but I won't just waltz past somebody who obviously needs...
On Monday I have to go to the agency to have lingerie polaroids done for a big job, and I will hold my hands up and admit it: I have slightly let myself go. Only a little bit - we're not talking drastic weight-gain here, just a slight - what I like to call -...
