TRAIN SMART 😉👍

A common question often asked is, how should I hold the 'EZ Bar'? An easy way to remember is this:

Always position the bar so that your index fingers are higher than your little fingers; whether you're performing a standard curl or a reverse curl, the principle remains the same.

Prevent Hunger, Prevent Overeating đŸ€”
Never allow yourself to get overly hungry — eat every 3 to 5 hours, and only until you’re satisfied, not stuffed. Prolonged hunger often leads to overeating and intense cravings, especially for quick-energy foods like sugar. When blood sugar drops too low, the brain signals the body to seek rapid fuel, which typically results in poor food choices and excessive calorie intake.

Studies have shown that irregular eating patterns can disrupt appetite-regulating hormones like ghrelin and leptin, increasing the likelihood of binge eating and sugar dependency. One study published in 'Appetite' (2010) found that skipping meals significantly increased cravings and the likelihood of consuming high-sugar, high-fat foods later in the day. Another study in the 'Journal of Nutrition' (2015) highlighted that frequent, evenly spaced meals help regulate glucose and insulin levels, supporting more stable energy and appetite control.

Eating regularly and mindfully is a simple yet powerful way to maintain balanced energy, avoid cravings, and support long-term health.

*TRAIN SMART* 😉👍

Improve your shrugs with this simple tip: at the top of the movement, when you reach full contraction, give your traps an extra squeeze for a second. Then, instead of pausing at the bottom, immediately begin the next rep to maintain tension and intensity throughout the set. Time under tension is the third most important factor for illiciting muscle growth.

Our mango trees are absolutely showing off right now — branches hanging heavy and groaning under the weight of mangoes đŸ„­

If you’ve got a mango tree that produces fruit that’s sweet, juicy, and blessedly not stringy, now’s the time to check if they’re ready to pick. Don’t wait until they start colouring up on the tree, or you’ll find yourself in a very competitive race
 against the wildlife (and trust me, they never play fair).

The easiest way to check? Sacrifice just one. Slice a cheek off and have a look near the seed. If you see yellow creeping in around it, congratulations — it’s harvest time. In the photo, you can see mine are yellow right through. The further that yellow has spread away from the seed, the faster they’ll ripen once picked.

Tip: Mango freezes beautifully, so no fruit left behind. Slice the flesh into cubes and pop them in the freezer. Future you will be very grateful when mango smoothies are still on the menu months from now 😄

TIRED? 😞

If you feel tired all the time, one overlooked cause may be a lack of muscle mass. Muscle isn’t just for strength — it’s a key regulator of your body’s energy systems. Skeletal muscle contains a large proportion of the body’s mitochondria, the “power plants” of your cells that generate energy (ATP).

Research shows that reduced muscle mass is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to fatigue and decreased endurance. On the other hand, maintaining and building muscle stimulates "mitochondrial biogenesis" (the creation of new mitochondria) and improves their efficiency, helping your body produce and use energy more effectively.

A study published in 'Cell Metabolism' (Hood et al., 2019) highlighted how exercise-driven muscle growth directly enhances mitochondrial health, reducing fatigue and improving overall vitality.

In short: more muscle means healthier mitochondria — and healthier mitochondria mean more energy for your daily life.

If you’re anything like me and love a good munch while settling in for a movie, snacking doesn’t have to mean unhealthy. Instead of reaching for a bag of potato chips, try one of my go-to favourites — something that actually started life as homemade salad croutons.

Begin by slicing your favourite bread into small, bite-sized pieces. Drizzle with a good-quality olive oil, then toss gently to coat. Sprinkle over your seasoning of choice. My personal blend is simple but full of flavour: a good quality sea salt, cracked pepper, dried oregano, Italian herbs, and a touch of garlic powder. Toss again so everything is evenly coated.

Spread the pieces onto a tray and bake in a preheated oven until they’re lightly golden and irresistibly crunchy.

Now grab the remote, hit play, and enjoy a snack you can feel good about.

*TRAIN SMART* đŸ€”

Don't Waste Time Performing Ineffective Planks...
.. To truly target your midsection, ensure that your elbows always align with your eyes - not placed at shoulder level - and to maintain a posterior pelvic tilt throughout the duration of the exercise. This can be achieved by sucking in your belly toward the spine and maintaining a constant squeeze of the abdominals.

*Always consult a qualified fitness professional before attempting any new exercise or making any modifications to your exercise technique to ensure it's appropriate for you*

Before you go smashing out those sets on the “Leg Press” machine, take a moment to define your fitness goal.
For enhanced focus on the quadriceps, position your feet just below the centre on the foot plate. Alternatively, for a targeted hamstring workout, shift your feet slightly above the centre of the plate.

Clarifying your objectives ensures a more effective and purposeful exercise session.

21/12/2025

A larger waist size can be a more significant predictor of heart disease risk than body weight or body mass index (BMI). It's not the fat on your things or hips that's most concerning, but the fat around your abdomen.

This abdominal fat poses a greater danger to your heart and arteries. Research shows that health risks for women increase when waist circumference exceeds 80cm, and for men, when it exceeds 95cm.
