Should You Train If You're Walking Like John Wayne?

Aching After Exercise? Leave Time To Recover Or Power Through? You remember John Wayne from the cowboy films don’t you?

He Has Boobs Bigger Than His Wife

The title of this week’s article may be a bit funny, but it is 100% true for at least one poor chap, and I’m sure there are many others just like him. It’s a male orientated article, but wives, mothers and girlfriends out there who know someone in their family suffering from this, should share this information around. A gentleman recently contacted me with a very personal question. Lucky for me he has a sense of humour, and with his permission, here it is… “Dear Richard,

Pros & Cons Of Vegetarianism

Vegetarianism is defined as “the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat – red meat, poultry, seafood and the flesh of any other animal”. (1) In my experience ‘going veggie’ can be a double edged sword. It can lead to massive health benefits – when its done properly. I have vegetarian meals and entire vegetable days myself and they help me enormously. The biggest benefits from a plant based diet are: Raw food is good for you because of the enzymes and we need to eat more raw food than cooked.

20 Common Workout Mistakes & Solutions

The last few weeks I have been really getting into and writing about the nutritional sides of things. There is so much to be said about nutrition and all of the new research and discoveries that have been made in the field; it is an exciting and scary time. But I am going back to exercise this week. Firstly I want to say I'm not here to judge anyone. I have made all these mistakes myself at some point; lets say these are just observations.

Talk Is Cheap: Walk The Walk This New Year

The new year is upon us! Being a personal trainer I’m looking forward to January, it’s always a busy time for me, meeting new people, who have set new goals and really trying to help them improve. Many people set New Year resolutions, what do you think the percentage is of people who succeed with their goals? I would say it probably isn’t an impressive statistic. ‘Talk is cheap, walk the walk this new year’

How to Train the Brain

In order to successfully adhere to a fitness programme you need to exercise well and eat well, but all that takes discipline and will power. You need to 100% commit to succeed. I would never have made it as an elite personal trainer in Swansea if I didn’t have the right mindset. Today I will share some tips on how to train your brain. Without the correct mindset you will easily be led astray and will easily cancel your exercise plans for a more appealing offer, once you have trained your mindset you will then be able to resist temptations and put your own health and fitness first.

How Exercise Reduces Stress

Research proves that regular exercise can offer many psychological and physiological benefits. Feeling psychologically (mentally) good makes life a lot more enjoyable. A bad day at work, an argument with your partner, financial issues etc. can lead to increased levels of stress.

As a personal trainer when I meet a new client, I would say that many of them speak of their desire for a flatter stomach and weight loss.

So this article is all about your abdominals and how to get them flatter – easier!

How You Can Be Lighter But Still Fatter

I was chatting with one of my personal training clients about these body transformation programmes and fast weight loss programmes. She told me she had been comparing her results to her friends. Her friend had lost two stone by just drinking shakes and eating bars and she had only lost a stone in 4 weeks, so she wasn’t too happy. Comparing yourself to others is often a bad idea. I used to do this myself too, many years ago. Anytime I went to the gym, I always felt inadequate. I compared myself to the biggest and strongest guys. So I felt I was the skinniest and the weakest.

5 Ways to Power Up Your Workouts

The gym, a place of titanic struggles, epic distances, blood, sweat and sometimes tears! It is a place you go to improve yourself. As a personal trainer I put 100% effort into my workouts and expect the same from my clients when I challenge them with a workout. Did you know that a massive 60% of adults in the UK are obese? That worries me, seriously, how could things have got this bad. The fast food craze seems to have taken over. People more often than not will go for speed and convenience over planning and preparation.

The bane of some women’s lives it can make skin look less attractive, and from what I have been told, forcing some women into changing which clothes they choose to buy and wear.

First Steps From Sedentary Lifestyle To Exercise

The first few steps from a sedentary lifestyle to exercise are the hardest. For many people activities such as walking to the chip shop can be seen as daunting and difficult. So to change that attitude from lounging round the house watching TV mixed with a bad diet of fast foot and to an improved diet made up of good meals and healthy snacks along with actually going out and exercising may seem unlikely.

This is a questio I have been asked so many times being a personal trainer. In order to be a good personal trainer I need to make sure that the advice I give my client’s is as accurate, effective and up to date as possible.

How Old Are You Really? Biological Age

People have always been interested in being “forever young” and today’s society is no different. We want to resist the ageing process. The speed at which we are ageing can be measured – its called biological age, or how old your body really is. The area of study which is now called longevity, and was once called anti aging, is hugely popular in the states. It's something I’m very interested in, and see it as a big part of the future for myself and my clients. Your chronological age is how old you actually are. Biological age is the age of your body at the cellular level.

She Hated Exercise

I took on a new personal training client earlier in the summer, and she point blank told me that she “hated exercise, and everything to do with it!” She said she had slogged away in the gym for years, up to 90 minutes, three times a week and hated every minute of it, and seeing very little by the way of results. (She was about to sign up to one of my 6 month coaching programmes, so was very relieved when I told her that exercise is the smallest component of the programme and we would be doing just 60 minutes per week. Find out how she got on below)

Going Organic, Is It Worth The Bother

My parents told me, once upon a time all food was naturally organic, then “they” (the 'evil' food companies) started using pesticides and preservatives and they said “you can eat fruit all year round” and “this stuff is better because it lasts longer”, and charged us more for it. Now they take the pesticides and preservatives away and call it organic, and you guessed, charge us more for it! Okay firstly what does organic actually mean?

Why It’s Never Too Late To Start Exercise

The westernized world is pretty unhealthy. I come from Wales and more than a quarter of all over 40’s are obese. We are also an ageing nation, with around 45 per cent of us being over 45 years old. These figures, combined with the continued downward trend in activity levels, makes Wales a ticking time bomb when it comes to health and this is the same with many other countries today. We are getting older and sicker as a nation. As we get older, our bodies begin to change fast. Our muscles and bones become weaker, we get grey hair and wrinkles, and we get stiffer.

Quite a strange name for an article title a few of you may be thinking? For those of you that don’t know ‘Getting your ducks in a row’ basically means when someone wants to get all of the small details right – before proceeding with a new project, such as losing some weight. I think this rule is often used with regards to exercise and nutrition. Is it a good strategy? I think NOT. Many people fail in their attempts to start eating healthy and exercising because they wait until their ducks are all in a row. They are waiting for the right time to join the gym.

Lose Weight, Feel Great, Have Better Sex – BHRT

I have some very exciting news for all people in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. As many of you are aware, getting into shape does not simply come down to exercise and a healthy diet, there are other factors to consider. Our hormones play a huge part in our internal physiology, and if out of balance hormonally, it can make it more or less impossible to lose fat. Unfortunately when we age our body struggles in producing its natural hormones. These hormones include oestrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, human growth hormones, thyroid and melatonin.

Have you ever heard the story about the chimp and the peanut? It's very interesting and relates to us all in some way. Allow me to share the story… Once upon a time a researcher observed the behaviour of a group of chimps. I’m not sure why, but the researcher provided the chimps with paint, brushes and paper. They demonstrated to the chimps what should be done with these new “tools”. Then, if a chimp made an attempt at a paining (paintbrush on paper) they were rewarded with a peanut.

Mostly we all think cholesterol is bad for us, this is because it’s what we have been told over the last 50 years or more. Cholesterol is often described as “artery clogging” and is used as an indicator of heart disease, and it is that relationship we will look at today. Most people believe the less cholesterol they have in their diet the better. What would you think if I said nothing could be further from the truth?

There was an interesting article I read recently online titled: Saturated Fat Heart Disease ‘Myth’. It is great to see the truth about saturated fat finally making the news. If you have read some of my previous articles you might know that I am a big advocate of eating all types of natural fats even though they are demonised by food companies as being the cause of all sorts of problems, especially saturated fats. Just to remind you saturated fats come from foods such as butter, steak, eggs, bacon, sausage, nuts, coconut oil, fish oil, chocolate, cream and cheese.

Lab Made Burger A Long Term Solution?

People tend to want and demand cheap food, and now scientists may have come up with a solution. I’m not sure how many of you heard this in the news a few weeks ago but a beef burger has been grown in a laboratory in the Netherlands by a team of scientists. The burger was then cooked by a British chef in London and tasted by several food critics in front of a live audience. Crazy stuff! It’s quite exciting in some ways, a true reflection of just how far technology has come. The sun newspaper has labelled it ‘A historic step towards wiping out hunger’.

Are You Too Scared To Improve?

One of my friends called in an expert trainer for one of their dogs last weekend. He told me there’s nothing particularly wrong with the dog, he’s just got a few things he’s scared of and ends up over-reacting. He was telling me what the trainer did with the dog. He was fascinated by how the trainer used the whole de-sensitisation and positive association process to “fix” the dog. Regular, mild exposure to the things that are scary, along with regular positive reinforcement solved the issues! I thought this was really interesting, that’s why I'm sharing it with you.
