I wanted to take a moment to very quickly introduce you all to a new product that has just been released this week. Most of you will have noticed that with my new-found free time I’ve been focussing on more detailed research. It’s been an interesting transition, taking time to read more studies in full [...]

I found this recipe in an old recipe book of mine. Well, I found something like this anyway but I had to tweak it a bit to make it a bit more reasonable for the items more easily available at a sensible price at home. Apparently a variant of this is a traditional dish from [...]

Well I’m nearly back where I was pre-Christmas at last. Despite a weekly trip down to London, which cuts a significant chunk out of my week at the moment, tires me out a lot, and leaves me doing all my workouts on consecutive days I still seem to be coping well. That said, my chins [...]

The purpose of the study had been to conclude whether measures of the velocity of sound (VOS) and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), both measured through the heel of the foot could be used to distinguish between groups categorised according to activity [...]
I got some mixed fresh fish from the supermarket because it was reduced – one of those packs of chunks of haddock, smoked haddock (or mackerel?) and salmon designed to be used to fish pies. After much hunting about I decided that the ingredients in my cupboards would enable me to do the recipe below [...]

Hello and welcome to another week in my new, laid-back life. Something I forgot to mention last week was that, with the advent of my better-self (less indication of adrenal fatigue impacting my workouts and health) and the arrival of hard frost and snow in the UK so that I couldn’t dig on the allotment [...]

After a few weeks of studies about sedentary women, the impact resistance training can have on their weight and how good new trainees are at adhering to their training programmes, I have decided to move the topic sideways.
