With February well known as the month of love, this Newsletter takes a look at not only how exercise affects us physiologically, but also how it makes us feel.
Life could be described as being something of a rollercoaster. There are ups and there are downs. This is to be expected. The same is true of your fitness journey and so if you want to succeed long term you need to learn to overcome disappointment when it occurs and forge on. These top tips will help with that.
January sees an influx of people hitting the gym or pounding the pavement to improve cardiovascular health, build muscle and tone up. This article examines why maintaining those good intentions should last well beyond February, when most of those resolutions can fall by the wayside.
January, of course, sees many resolutions to be fitter, stronger, leaner - or to tackle a new event, or challenge to push yourself to the limits.
Did you know that I offer personal training session gift vouchers? These make a perfect gift for someone else who is looking to boost their health, fitness, and wellbeing, or could be a great gift to give to yourself (or put on Santa's list).
2018 is fast approaching. If you’re looking to step up your health and fitness, and enjoy the benefits of it, now is the time to plan and put things in place which will help you to succeed.
This December at Fit For Anything, we are talking about the New Year rush! It seems strange but actually, December (even with the excess of food and social occasions) is the perfect time to think about your new year goals.
Fit For Anything is here to help you in your quest for recipes that are light in calories, fat, and carbs but are still high in flavour this winter.
If you're looking for a fitness, health and wellbeing-related gift for someone, this could be a great place to find something that will be practical, appreciated and affordable.
This November at Fit For Anything, we are thinking about how the darker mornings and nights can affect our training, the start of the festive season and small changes we can make to stay on the right track to our goals.
Geoff Adams Spink has been training with Roel Jansen and Fit For Anything for 8 years. Despite physical challenges, Geoff tells FFA how he has overcome these to fulfill his love of physical training. Not one to let obstacles stand in his way, Geoff has gone above and beyond what he thought possible. We find out how in a candid interview.
A mental block is something that may actually prevent an athlete from progressing. It’s not the same as being anxious, scared or unmotivated. We look at what mental blocks in fitness might look like and how we may overcome them.
This October at Fit For Anything we have lots to celebrate and also to look forward to.
If you’re feeling stuck doing the same strength exercises day after day, week after week, it’s time to take your workouts, and your results, up a notch.
There's nothing I enjoy more than sharing good news! I have been invited to take part in the Obstacle Course Race (OCR) World Championships in Canada next month. This is a prestigious event which will see athletes from all over the world traveling to attend. There will be some stiff competition, however, I've found that these events, despite being competitive boast a wonderful atmosphere of mutual support and respect for each other.
To fund the trip I, the same as all athletes am hoping to secure sponsorship. Read more about the event below and how individuals may help, either by sharing this blog post or contacting me to see how you or your business might help (and benefit). Any and all contributions would be gratefully received as they will help me realise a personal goal in my fitness career that I am very grateful to have been given the opportunity to work towards.
Thanks!
We are now well and truly into autumn, with the onset of darker evenings and mornings. Autumn is a great season with cooler days to help keep you moving and nature gives us beautiful colours.
When it comes to boosting your fitness you have to be motivated. You have to have a solid reason to put the time and effort into your health and fitness regime, and you need to be organised. These alone are not always enough. I firmly believe that in order to reach your goals you need to be inspired! Following this theme, I thought I’d share some of the people who inspire me.
It may be tempting over the summer to dial back on your training, to enjoy the better weather with your friends and family, and generally cut loose. Before deciding to take the whole summer off however it would be wise to consider what happens to your body when you give yourself an exercise summer break.
Last month we talked about the importance of conditioning. What else can you do to improve your running PB?
Despite the holidays, many of you have been busy with events, personal challenges and training.
