When thinking about fitness and exercise, it is easy to think that there is a one-size fits all. You see a friend shedding the pounds through a regime they love, but then you try it for yourself and it just doesn’t work.

When I first heard of Bulgarian Bag Training, I imagined some form of vicious Eastern European regime, where elite housewives are trained to get the last loaf of bread off the supermarket shelf. As it turned out, I wasn't far off the truth...

One of the popular myths about yoga is that you have to be very flexible to do it. It’s one of the questions I get asked most. And I can see why. In popular media yoga practitioners are often photographed in very advanced poses that make them look like they are bent double with their limbs wrapped around their necks. I’ve seen videos of famous Ashtanga teachers who genuinely look like they can tie their legs in a knot behind their backs. These images scare people.

A week on from Easter Sunday and I think I have just about digested the massive amounts of chocolate I threw down my throat.
Through a course of six gym visits and two hot yoga visits I think its done the trick.
Last time out I posted about my experience with hot yoga and this week the weather has been, well cold.

People who come to my Body Combat and Body Balance classes know that I am also a yoga teacher and often ask,“Should I try yoga?”. My answer is always a resounding yes. Of course you should. But many then qualify their question with, “But I really don’t fancy all that chanting and mystical mumbo jumbo.”
