Two serves of fruit and five serves of veggies, at least that’s what the government recommends we consume on a daily basis. What’s a serve? A piece of fruit about the size of an apple or a cup of berries is a serving. When it comes to veggies think in cups. One cup is a… Read More
Healthy eating. It’s not expensive. It’s not hard. It doesn’t have to be complicated. I hear a lot of people telling me they can’t eat healthy. They don’t have enough time to cook meals every night. Their budget doesn’t allow for fresh produce. And yet they are content with going to the local fast food… Read More

I have a love and hate thing for gyms. On the one side I love the fact that there’s endless amounts of equipment, from free weights to machines, cardio equipment and free space to work your abs or stretch out. Then there’s the hate thing, sweaty seats, crowds, bitchiness, rudeness and a plain lack of… Read More
Ten minutes. That’s all it takes. Then you either continue or stop. Nine out of ten times you’re going to keep going. Next time you don’t feel like working out instead of taking the day off just give yourself ten minutes. Once the ten minutes are up you can stop without feeling guilty.… Read More
So to rev up the motivation around here I signed up for an Endomondo challenge for the month of June. The challenge is ‘the most calories in any sport’. With just over 1000 calories burnt in the past two days, I’m in spot 111. It’s going to be tough to get quadruple digits around here.… Read More
