This is a great exercise to help build strength and balance, as well as working the muscles in the lower body (glutes, quads and hamstrings), it forces you to keep an upright posture which requires upper body strength and stability and works the core hard.

MyFitnessPal can be a great app that can help you track your diet and exercise to determine optimal caloric and nutrient intake to help achieve weight and body composition goals. However, it isn’t fool proof and may not be for everyone, if not used correctly it can more than likely hinder your goal.
The floor press can be done using a barbell or dumbbells. This is a great exercise for upper body strength- working chest, triceps, shoulders and core.
This exercise is performed in a lying position on the floor with either legs extended or knees bent. Floor presses takes out the leg drive which makes the upper body pressing muscles and core work hard. I have heard this lots recently people saying that the reason they are not losing weight is because they are not eating enough. I am hearing it more and more and probably down to certain Fitness “gurus” perpetuating this myth.
Let’s be clear the ultimate criteria of whether your current food intake (and activity level) constitutes whether you are gaining, losing or maintaining weight is what is happening to your body weight or body fat. If your weight is going up and your clothes are getting tighter- This post is inspired by more debates and misinformation about protein supplements doing the rounds, sparked by a BBC article and another by the Daily (M)Fail. So here we go here is my little take on it regarding protein supplements, I am mainly going to focus on whey protein powders as this is probably the most well-known protein supplement… We know that protein powders have been used by bodybuilders and athletes for a long time and now casual gym users and the general public is more aware of them and using protein supplements more and more.

This article is intended to give out general advice for IBS (irritable bowl syndrome). I have had clients, friends and family members ask advice about IBS after having been to the doctor and been told they may have IBS but feel they have not been given appropriate advice on how to deal with the issue. I had a family member told just to go and find out and do her own research about FODMAP by her GP after been told she has IBS and that was all the advice she received.
I wrote this article for general advice on the subject from research I have done, it is not intended to help treat or diagnose. It is always recommended to seek medical advice if you have any of the symptoms and if applying low FODMAP use an appropriately qualified dietitian who has knowledge of FODMAP.

I have been in discussion with a couple of people regarding IF and it is clear there are some misconceptions and myths surrounding about IF, hopefully I can help clear some up. I am using 16/8 protocol, where you fast for 16 hours (including sleep) and then for an 8-hour window then eat in an 8-hour window. (There are other protocols that can be used such as alternate day fasting, warrior diet [20/8 fast] and 5:2 diet [very low calories for 2 days]. To reach your goals, it is not the occasional big gesture that will get you there it’s what you repeatedly do that will get you results. - It’s the daily habits or even what may be perceived as the “mundane, boring or small” things that build up over time, that end up making the difference long term. The kind of things like- ... In Which Diet Is Best- Part 1 we looked at the evidence
