exercise for breakfast -Personal trainer Durham

20 minutes before breakfast

So we often here that there is no time for exercise and this has always made me laugh, because there are people out there with a similar or harder work and family schedule who smash it.
So it shouldn't be I haven't time, it's more like my health, weight or fitness doesn't mean as much to me as it does to some other(fitter people).

I wrote a blog over a year ago know where I researched and listed the average amount of time spent doing certain activities...

Obviously work came out on top, closely followed by watching tv and that's for the workers, the benefit types tv was the biggest time expense.  However the UK average time spent on Facebook was still over that of the average time spent on exercise, so more time spent showing selfies of yourself than that of doing exercise.

So nobody can tell me that 20 minutes a day of exercise a day is impossible, and if they did I simply wouldn't believe them.

TRY THIS THEN....

Get out of your pit (bed) and have a coffee or whatever else wakes you up and then do 20 minutes of exercise outside.  A twenty minute interval session and no more, the first ten minutes slow jogging to get warmed up and then short sprints of twenty, thirty second intervals.  This is super hard work, boosts your metabolism for the day and has you burning fat all day.....most importantly you will feel great and be able to achieve more with your day.

Take the 20 minute challenge and start today..

Every challenge so far has had awesome results, so stop making excuses and spend 20 mins a day.

Doing something different to lose weight

Doing something different to lose weight

Doing something different to lose weight


As a bloke i and a Personal Trainer i don't really want to lose weight as inevitably means losing muscle (Dam).

Recently i have been fortunate enough to have 15 days of just mountain bike leading and coaching.  So generally a couple of hours ish each day of riding up and down hills with a few stops for coaching.

I have been eating more and also have been having deserts, however now i am back i have noticed that my guns (it's what some blokes call their biceps) have shrunk to the size of sparrows knee caps.  Not just that everyone keeps saying my face looks skinnier, not sure how fat my face was before but it is smaller.

I think i have probably lost a stone in fat and lean muscle in around three weeks by just mountain biking.  So three weeks of eating more than i normally do and mountain biking.

I haven't done a lot of mountain biking for over a year due to my Gym,Salon and PT stuff and for this reason my body has been shocked and just ditched the weight rapido in an effort to make the cycling easier.

The cycling is easier now which means i will be burning less fat (using less calories)

So my advice which is always the same DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT and when it gets easy DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.  I lost loads of weight and never wanted too.

By changing up your training often It stops your body adapting to the exercise and using less fuel. "Plateau"

If you would like some advice on doing something different or Personal Training please check out the blogs on my page or phone or text.
