When I resumed my Parkour lessons almost 3 years ago I realised that I was getting old as well as older and I had to make a choice: either accept that I wasn't going to go far and walk away (maybe even take up knitting) or somehow turn back the clock and reclaim at least some of my physical prowess of years gone by. If you follow me on YouTube you'll know what happened next. You too can st...

If you ever wondered whether it's best to exercise in the morning or in the evening, I've got you covered. Recent research shows that the impact of working out early or late in the day is different. In this episode I share what I discovered and how this will help you make informed decisions. If you wish to purchase a copy of my "Super Simple Fitness Planner" you can do so 👉 HERE...

What's the first thing that goes out the window when you're super busy with work, family, pets, social occasions? That's right... it's your self-care. It seems that, as employees or entrepreneurs, we are hard wired to burn ourselves out instead of placing our own wellbeing first. In this episode, I discuss why it's important to knock this behaviour on the head and how to go about it.

Have you ever thought... "I am doing everything right and yet I am not losing weight"? You might be absolutely correct and are indeed doing all the right things, even the right things for you! But have you taken stress into consideration? In this episode I discuss why stress could well be what's preventing you from achieving the results that you want from your fatloss journey. I mention a video th...

In this episode, recorded as a video for Facebook, IGTV and YT (!!) I share my thoughts on why people struggle to stay consistent with their health and fitness. I also share what they could do instead to see an improvement. Easy. I mention my Super Simple Fitness Planner in the video, you can find it at this link: https://bit.ly/2UgH32o

When it comes to self care and looking after our physical and mental health, napping is a bit of a lost art. We spend so much time chasing our dreams that we often forget to rest. Maybe we feel guilty about slowing down, but really we must remember that work and rest go hand in hand, not against each other. In the episode I mention the Fitness Planner that I created back in 2018. I recently revamp...

If I had a £ for every person who said to me that they are "doing all the right things but the weight isn't shifting" I would be insanely rich. In this episode I discuss why people, especially women, find themselves in this situation and what they can do about it.

The fear of having to give up all the favourite foods is often an obstacle for people wanting to lose weight. In this episode I explain two simple ways to work around this. 

There are a number of reasons why women are so focused on having a flat tummy and all the strategies in the world won't work unless you get this one thing right. 

I recently came across an article that discussed the mechanisms through which alcohol affects our motivation to exercise. Although the research was based on dubious studies, the outcomes were nevertheless interesting and applicable to anyone who enjoys a tipple in between workouts.

When I speak to women who are unhappy with their appearance there are a few common themes that emerge from the conversations. One of them is getting toned arms and say goodbye to the "bingo wings", i.e. triceps that need a bit of work. Here is how you do it.

Today I was joined on the (terrible) podcast by my friend and fellow body geek Laura Donnelly to discuss being active and sporty into old age, how we should both listen to and ignore our brain, how we learn about pain, how holding on to that memory is detrimental, how curiosity is important to retain a youthful outlook on life.  If you want to find out more about Laura's work you can visit he...

One of the many misconceptions that people have about Fitness Coaches is that they show up with a clipboard, stand there and count from 1 to 10 as you sweat your arse off. Although there is some of that involved in what I do, it's far from being all that I do. Listen in and if any of that resonates with you, remember that you can find me everywhere on social media as Too Old To Tumble.

The 30 Day Shred program by Jillian Michaels is now over 10 years old but still incredibly popular. I never heard of it until somebody asked me what I thought of it. So I did some research and here is what I like and don't like about the program. I am curious to hear your opinion though, so if you have 5 minutes I would love for you to reach out on social media...  you can find me as @toooldt...

Have you heard the term "Quarantine 15"? It's the estimated amount of weight that people will gain during the lockdown. Scary, huh? Well, not to worry... I got you covered.  To be fair, the best way to lose excess fat is through your diet BUT exercise plays a big part in this too.  I therefore challenge you to complete a simple workout with ascending reps each day for the next 31 days an...

In my years working in the health and fitness industry, one of the most common things that I see inhibit people in their weight loss or maintenance efforts is alcohol consumption. I share the good, the bad and the ugly in this episode of the podcast. Oh and if you want to grab my cheat sheet on alcohol just enter your details at the bottom of the page here -> https://toooldtotumble.com/alcohol-...

No one likes the experience of feeling negative emotions.  Whether it’s stress, uneasiness, unhappiness, uncertainty or disappointment – it just feels  bad .  And it’s supposed to.  But your fears can be a strong call to action too...  

The biggest obstacle I hear from the people I coach is that they  “just don’t have the time.”   Before the lockdown people were SO busy with work, families, managing a house, and the million other things that came up.  And, to be fair, still do…   So it’s no surprise that our lifestyle before CoVid-19 saw us often grabbing convenience food – food that not only doesn’t serve our...

What would it look like for you to change just 1% of your daily habits, behaviours or thoughts? What’s the impact of a tiny 1% change? If you were flying an aeroplane and you flew off course by just 1%, there is a great chance you’d end up on another continent, let alone anywhere near the place you intended to be. As we start our initial 3 weeks of lockdown in the UK and we have more time to think...
