I'm a 31 year old Red blooded male. It's late at night, the wife and kids are in bed. I open up my laptop and what's the first thing that springs to mind? That's right........Sugar!

"Fluoride dumbs people down and makes them more compliant, sure just look at the Irish"

If someone come to me and says 'I want to do 20 chin ups'. 

The first thing I'd ask is 'Can you do 1?'

No? Well then we'll call 20 your Z goal.

You see more often than not the lot of you set unrealistic goals in an unrealistic amount of time.

This post is for those of you that go to the gym just to be fit and healthy and may not have a complete understanding of what your doing or why your doing it. 

It's a simple one on why if you do 4 sets of 10 on every exercise you probably stopped 'feeling the burn' after about 2-4 weeks which for some, may have been a few years ago.

If a Vegetarian goes into a restaurant these days, they would generally be given a good choice to choose from. Someone on a gluten free diet goes into the same restaurant and again will have plenty of options.

I've been a gluten free vegetarian for the last 8 weeks and my only options have been steamed veg, roasted veg and Stir fried veg.

I love this line. I generally ask everyone I consult what it means and generally after a minute of fumbling around trying to string the right words together they give up. A balanced diet or everything in moderation, nobody has a clue what this is.

It turned out that gluten was one of the primary reasons why in the health and fitness industry I've pursued health over fitness. 

Not the obvious choice since I competed in sport at high levels since a child and competed internationally at amateur and semi professional from my teens to mid twenties.

Linchpin - a person or thing vital to an enterprise or organisation.

Linchpin is also a fantastic Book by Seth Godin. Whether you work for yourself or someone else, raise kids or teach, this is worth a read. I reckon most importantly a copy should be given to every teenager in every school in the country. It would get them to think for themselves, not go against the grain as much as just not being part of the status quo.

Let's cut the crap.

We both know more often than not you continued to eat when you knew you shouldn't have,

You drank too much wine too often knowing you shouldn't have,

You ordered take out knowing you'd only done a full shop and there was plenty of food there to make a proper homemade meal,

You sat on your ass and made excuses not to move your body (walk, run, cycle, swim),
