Its winter, its cold, dark, very wet and lots of you tell me you are feeling a bit blue and miserable,

So just take a moment and answer me a question……..

What is your favorite quote?

It might just remind you why!

The reason for this stems on some thinking that I was playing my mind to last night when sleep eluded me, as a personal trainer there are many phrases that I use in order to motivate people……

”No pain , no gain”………

”You have to put it in to get it out”

”You are what you eat”

”Just do it”

They all work on the exercise and nutrition front…….

There are millions of quotes that people live their daily lives by- I must say i like the funny ones best through!! There is a lot to be said for things that can make you smile!

But they can also but used in a damaging way…the recent reports that Supermodel Kate Moss quoted a well known anorexia enthusiasts organisations motto ”nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” has left her critics in a frenzy. The effect that a role model saying something such as this can be devastating to young females hell bent of staying thin………….

I generally see through that sayings and quotes are used to make people feel good, and help us remember what is important in life.

What are your favorite quotes?

Yes I know that it is horribly early………

But lets face it, you need to be organising presents!!

I have just been looking for craft fayres and organising my Tabsmagic Christmas Gift packages, The massage is hugely discounted for those buying in the form of a gift package, and you have the option of a personal training session, nutrition analysis or postural analysis to go with it. I am doing pamper packages too for those less included to want a sports massage!!

So start thinking now and you can save yourself a lot of cash and a lot of stress come Christmas eve when you are running around trying to get a present before the shops close!!

Good Morning?

So my first mistake was to brave taking the puppy (Werm) out when there was a break in the rain- we got soaked – sodden wet through.

We arrive at the back door resembling a pair of drowned rats to find I have managed to lock myself out!!

Soaking, shaking, freezing and a whining puppy at my feet looking at me wondering what she had done to warrant such blatant cruelty…

So donning my best bedraggled and sodden charm I convince some builders working on a local house to let me borrow a large step ladder….

Too embarressed to accept their offers of help, I haul it home- and set to clambering up to the second floor window that I know is unlocked. There was the moment of  no return when the ladder fell away as I danged in the hard place between the last rung and the window sill – but I survived and am now inside, with a hot cup of earl gray, a dog in blankets (still shivering) and feeling much happier.

My point- other than why do these thing only happen to me?!

Had I not been as fit as I am – I ould still be out there shivering…

I would have lacked the strength to carry a heavy ladder, the agility to climb it, the upper body and core strength needed to haul myself up, and the flexibility to maneuver myself through the window and gracefully down the other side without breaking either my neck nor the pot plant….

What tasks have you achieved recently that have been made possible by your fitness level- or indeed what ones would have been a whole lot easier had you been fitter?
