Fitness and Nutrition

If you want to look good and you want to play it safe, bodybuilding is the way to go.

You would not be human if you’ve never wondered how long it takes to notice changes from your new exercise routine.

Gym rats are not considered ‘the sharpest knives in the drawer,’ but at least we can still appreciate the immense value of hitting the gym with a sharp mind and intensely focused mentality.

“Eat breakfast like a king, eat lunch like a prince and eat dinner like a pauper.”

Quite a lot of people who I have interacted with have claimed that they have anxiety with just the thought of joining the gym.

Like clockwork every weekday, I roll out of bed and turn on the kettle, get cleaned up, make my coffee and head to the gym.

Over the last few years, many guys found themselves rapidly gaining weight due to the impact that life during the pandemic had on their diet and physical activity.

Last week, I identified and cleared up five myths you might hear as a new gym-goer.

January is here, and as customary the gym is filled with newbies looking to achieve a myriad of fitness goals.

If you have made the important decision to start exercising or get more serious about it, kudos to you.

It is with a smile that I am typing “Best wishes for 2023” to everyone reading this column.

First off I would like to wish everyone reading this column, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

2023 is less than two weeks away and without a doubt many of you may have plans to join a gym/fitness centre and embark on some kind of fitness and health journey.

Taking charge of your fitness journey in 2023 to achieve a consistently fitter, happier and healthier life includes being realistic and staying consistent, setting SMART goals, creating manageable targets, listing the benefits of getting fit and healthy, scheduling your workouts and  not comparing yourself, which were detailed last week.

This is the last month of 2022 and as customary people are already crafting their New Year’s resolutions for the year ahead.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic hit the fitness industry worldwide very hard.

Christmas is right around the corner and with it potentially numbers ascending on the scale.

Driving to the gym, I zoomed past a few houses on the commute but not fast enough not to hear Christmas carols being played in some of them.

When the calendar flipped, I issued a challenge on my social media page titled ‘No Sugar November’.

Strength training is one of the best ways to get strong, lean and toned but stepping onto the gym floor can be intimidating.
