Christmas is nearly here, and the end of 2016 is creeping up on me far quicker than I would like sometimes! It’s been a pretty manic few months with lots of developments in my personal life, which has meant blogging hasn’t been top of my priority list. However, I’m looking forward to getting organised and … More Christmas Fitness Gift Guide (and giveaway)
Considering what to eat and when for exercise can be complicated – too little fuel and your body won’t be able to function at it’s peak during the workout, too much and you’ll struggle with cramps, bloating and generally feeling sick and sluggish. Supporting your body with what it needs before, during and after activity … More Fuelling for Fitness with Lifebox and Energy Snacks
Over the winter it can be hard to keep cycling, with bad weather and shorter days forcing you off the roads and trails and into the gym. Another option is to invest in a turbo trainer so that you can keep riding your own bike, but in the warmth of your front room! What is … More Halford’s Beginner Women’s Guide to Cycling Part 3: Turbo Training
With all the extra sessions at the gym during the MyPT Transformation Challenge, I’ve been washing my favourite pieces of kit rather more often!

Like last week, I managed three workouts – a kettlebells class, and two circuit sessions – plus a 12 mile bike ride with … More Week 2 Check-In: MyPT Studio Transformation
I turned up a few minutes late to my Mild Flow class at the new Hot Yoga Studio at Everyone Active Westminster Lodge, but I managed to creep in at the back and discreetly unroll my mat. And even though I’d arrived feeling flustered and rushed, it wasn’t long before that all melted away – … More Hot Yoga at Everyone Active Westminster Lodge
Week 1 done! I survived the first seven days of the MyPT Studio Transformation Programme with some interesting highs and lows. The main goals are 3-4 workouts per week, drinking 3L water, and sticking to a lower calorie nutrition plan – for me this has meant smoothies for breakfast, salads or leftovers for lunch, and … More Week 1 Check-In: MyPT Studio Transformation
Choosing which bike to get depends a lot on what type of riding you are going to do. I love off-road cycling, and while I’ve definitely become more confident on my road bike I think I will always prefer to visit a trail and get a bit muddy! Check out my experience in the Forest … More HALFORD’S BEGINNER WOMEN’S GUIDE TO CYCLING PART 2 – TRAIL CYCLING
