I have a friend who has a PhD in exercise physiology and is acknowledged as a world leader in his area of expertise. Every year he continues to research and refine his knowledge and understanding of how the human body responds to exercise. He has been involved in exercise research for more than 25 years. You would think that he would have reached a point where he knows everything about his specialised topic!
New Year Resolutions Uncovered
As the old year clicks over and the New Year begins, millions of people get swept into the land of New Year’s Resolutions.
You know that land – that fantasy world. Where motivation will magically descend upon us, and with the mere thought that it’s time to completely change our lives, we’ll suddenly be able to turn ourselves into completely different people.
The S Word… Sales!

Get physical for your brain health
Many people exercise for the benefits it has for their body and heart. But what they may not realise is that physical activity also has a significant positive impact on their brain health.
Binge Eating Uncovered
You know the scenario – your client tells you about their healthy diet and regular exercise routine, but they’re not losing weight.
You’re mystified, the client feels defeated. And before long, they’ve given up on their gym membership because it’s not working.
Training Children – Keep them Captivated!
Kids are capable of some amazing athletic performances so why the need to underplay their achievements for the sake of political correctness? Many of them will practice for hours and will push themselves to the point of exhaustion in an effort to achieve a PB or master a new skill.
So what is the secret to getting kids involved and how do we encourage those less motivated to participate?
