Personal Trainer, Business Professional – in here you will find content where I talk about my journey in health and wellness.

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful festive season and took time out to rest, enjoyed with your family and friends. This is also the time where many set goals for the year ahead. In 2022, we gradually adjusted to life after the global COVID-19 pandemic. Today in the workplace across the UK and globally, it is common for a range of organisations to provide a hybrid type of working environment. I often get asked how many times would one be expected to be in the office and work from home? Whatever your mode of working, health and wellbeing is a theme that has rightfully gained more importance. It is encouraging that there are still initiatives supporting a work life balance and for the workforce to have access to wellbeing resources. With the growth in returning to the office or workplace, exercising at home will remain part of a weekly training regime. However, it is important to use the gyms for variety of exercise and cardiovascular machines to meet your fitness goals. On this note, what does your weekly training routine involve?

Happy New Year to you and your families. I hope over the Christmas season you enjoyed a rest, invested in yourself and had time with your loved ones. As the year began, we are continuing to live in a time of change. The last two years has been very difficult and challenging with uncertainty brought upon by the global pandemic.

Research and studies on nutrition and diet show that the focus of your gut and stomach on your health is extremely valuable. Studies into gut bacteria has led researchers to believe that healthy bacteria in the gut not only has an impact on gut health but also influences the immune system, reducing pain and inflammation, weight management and defending us from major diseases.

It’s definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And as we start to wind down for the year, I can’t help but reflect on what a year it has been! When the pandemic first hit, it felt so surreal and like something out of a movie, and now here we are 10 months later, adapting, changing, adjusting our mindsets. While we have all experienced change like no other, at times like this, it also provides a rare opportunity to take a step back from the daily to do list of getting your work done to look at your vision and purpose in life. From my corporate career of over 20 years in technology and business, I had thought a lot about my purpose in life and made career changes in 2019. My mindset is and has been a huge driver in all the things I’ve achieved in my personal and professional life and in my training. Over the years I have formulated my rules for success, which I wanted to share with you this month. We don’t know what next year will bring; we can only hope for positivity and a ‘new normal’ but if we consistently strive to be better for ourselves, we can be better for the world around us.
