Personal Fitness Training for Disabled People
“I’m happy with the way I look” “I don’t want to change my physique. I just want to get fitter” These are quotes I hear on a regular basis. Both of them interest me somewhat. Take me, for example. I’m certainly not overweight. Most people would consider me to be in fairly good shape. Some …
Hey you crazy kids, One thing which comes up regularly when I talk to clients is a “fitness slump”. A period where people feel fat, feel weak, feel like they’re not doing enough, or what they’re doing isn’t working. If you’re in one of these “funks” and you feel like things are going against you …

Hey, hey, hey! Check this out – For years people have spoken of “slow metabolism” or “fast metabolism” as an explanation to why people’s “natural” body weights differ. I use the quote marks because I don’t believe in the concept of a natural body weight. But that’s another subject for another day. With regards to …
