Are we all zombies?
So in part 1 I explained a little about what gave me to write this article, it explained how every morning and evening a lot of the people I come in to contact with on the way two and from work ,seemed to be missing some motivation, nourishment and generally looking a little zombified!?
I came to conclusion it must have been one or more lifestyle components of a healthy body…….

London Personal Trainer on: Step 5 to a Better Existence
Alright. This is it; the Final Step to a Better Existence. In case you haven't seen the other posts, I'll recap. Step 1: Work Less. Step 2: Fuel Your Body. Step 3: Use Your Body. Step 4: Expand Your Mind.
Step 5: Contribute
I thought a lot about what Step 5 should be. I debated focusing on the spiritual - for most people spirituality is a crucial component in the building of a better life. But I’ve opted to consider spirituality

London Personal Trainer Asks Are you a Slapper?
With the approaching London Marathon, I am starting to see a lot more runners out there doing their training runs. Interestingly enough I have seen a few “Slappers” as well.
What is a “Slapper”? You may ask. This is someone who runs incorrectly and makes a slapping sound as their feet hit the ground. They don’t lower their feet under control after heel strike.

London Personal Trainer | Are You Grasping At Water?
I don’t know where I first came across the concept of grasping water.
It may have been a story, a cheesy martial arts movie, listening to a speaker or maybe just a figment of my overactive imagination. I really can't remember the source, though I remember the meaning of the story for sure, especially at those times when I feel that I'm working so hard, SO HARD, and that life, the universe and everything seems to be conspiring

London Personal Trainer / High Heels and your Health
Now, I like to dress up for an evening out as much as the next girl. But I have a love/hate relationship with my high heels.
When I worked in an office environment, I wore heels almost constantly, rushing around from meeting to meeting and lugging a heavy bag around. I started to become immune to the aches, pains and cramps in my feet, and the tiredness in my legs. These days I spend as much time as possible bare foot. But on a special night out, I like to doll up, and the outfit is only

Man, I can't believe I'm 50 day in now, it's flying by!
The last week has been good, eating clean, training decently (though only 3 workouts so far this week, will get another in today) and I'm still seeing and feeling the benefit to staying clean.
My sleep's still not great so I'm certain that's costing me some results, but all in all I'm happy at 11.4kg weight loss and a LOT of fat gone. My waist is 4 1/2inch smaller too.

London Personal Trainer / Cold Cure or more? Vitamin C
It’s that time of year... the common cold is far too common. Last year I didn’t even get a sniff (pardon the pun) of a cold, yet I was exposed to so many with clients, colleagues and friends. One of the reasons I can probably thank for that is my Vitamin C intake. When presented with cold symptoms, a lot of people start to dose them-selves with Vitamin C, but that’s a bit like the old analogy of bolting the stable door when the horse has already bolted. It is poor levels of Vitamin C

Excerpt From Dax Moy's New Book... 'The Gift'
So, I'm back in the zone for my newest book 'The Gift' which is probably the only spiritual book you'll ever read which starts with the words.... "A long time ago in a galaxy far away". I know, weird, but that's me :)
This is going to be the most important work I've ever done and will, I'm certain, change lives in dramatic ways. You'll see!
Anyway, just wanted to share a section with you that relates more to the health and fitness and body image

Just because it's normal doesn't mean it's natural.
We forget that very important distinction sometimes.
A LOT of the time actually.
We start to look at what everyone else is eating and model our eating on theirs and say that our choices are normal.
Yet that 'normal' has created bodies that are soft, weak, in pain and representing a mere fraction of what they are truly capable of.

No, not many people do, yet it's true.

The health and fitness industry is riddled with training fallacies and myths based on nothing more than emotion and divine faith. Training programs should be based on proven scientific principles, not somebody's unfounded emotional opinions or desire to make some quick money!

Women do not have the levels of testosterone and human growth hormone required to increase

Not only do very important enzymatic reactions only take place
You know, most personal trainers tend to talk about fat loss from the perspective of eating less and moving more.
A rare few talk about hormones and metabolism.
Fewer still talk about the affect that the attention you give your food DURING the act of eating has on on the 'big picture' of fat loss.
It's FAR more important than you think!

Ok, so I'm at the day 8 point, so I've completed 7 days of my chunky to hunky plan to recover from piling on those pounds from my 'get fat' experiment.
Today I'm still chunky but far LESS chunky than I was on day 1 at just over 4kg reduction in overall weight since I started. And I'm really FEELING a difference too in terms of

London Personal Trainer | 4 Minute Fat Burn #1
London Personal Trainer | 4 Minute Fat Burn #1
Here's another simple, short yet seriously effective fat loss program that we call MELTDOWN training.
It's a simple 20:10 pattern of exercise superset that many trainers like to call 'Tabata' but they are not. Tabata is a vicious, MAXIMUM intensity training cycle which has most people on their knees.
Don't worry, you're not going to work anywhere near as hard but you SHOULD still push it (as long as technique is good) so that you're

Ok, so here's the deal, this POWER circuit is one of the in-house routines we use to get fantastic results for our clients during their time with us.
Yes, it looks easy, no there's no weights but don't let that fool you, this routine is a pretty powerful one (excuse the pun!) :)
Now, normally, clients are asked to start at about 30-40 reps and build up but we're going to do this a little differently.
I'm simply going to ask you
