How many times have you said "I'm going to start that on Monday" or "That can wait until the weekend" or even "Next year I'll do it..."? Most of us can probably raise our hands and say we have done this more than once!

As you probably have gathered over previous emails, I’ve gone through a few things and have had to make a number of life changing decisions over the years (as many of us do) – today I wanted to share with you the (shortened version) story of how I became a personal trainer.

Most of you attend our SMASH classes and we are very proud to see how much stronger you are all becoming as the weeks go by, especially with some of those exercises you had never done before! Speed, flexibility, mental strength, agility, endurance - all of you are smashing the classes in your own way and we hope that you feel the benefits elsewhere in your lives - work, home and play. 

April is almost over so here is a summary of everything we have spoken about this month in regards to our focus of Nutrition...

The month is coming to an end so we both felt we should share a little about the nutrition plans and guidelines that each of us follow before we conclude the focus of Nutrition on Saturday

With this sudden heatwave we realised that we haven't written about the most important part of nutrition.... HYDRATION!!

We are continuing our focus of nutrition and today we are talking about mindful eating. This is something we have touched on before, as one of the biggest things we do mindlessly is eat.

Our focus for the month is nutrition and in Wednesday's email we talked about how the media can influence us. A continuance from that comes from the effect supermarkets and advertising can have and how their very successful strategies can cause us to make poor choices when it comes to food!

In today’s email I wanted to touch a little on some of the research I have done as part of my Open University Degree (still ongoing!) – in particular about how much the media can affect many of our decisions, including our food choices.
