Blog Roll - and Links to Interesting Snippets

As we surf the internet, we're often coming across people and sites with interesting things to say, particularly in the health, fitness and nutrition arena. So here's where we are going to share them with you!

Blogs:

Tom Norton's Fat Head
Tom Norton produced and directed an independant documentary called Fat Head. It's an interesting watch - one that helped me to understand the science behind the success of my weight loss. Watch for it on Sky Documentaries - and hopefully I will obtain a copy or two of the DVD for clients to borrow - but in the mean time, start reading his blog:

Drs Mike and Mary Dan Eades
These docs have a very successful weightloss clinic in the US, they've co-authored several books and are good at simplifying the science around weight, health, heart disease, and diet.

I am a Fat B*****d
Follow my client Chris as he tackles his fitness challenges on the Feb 2010 20 Week Body & Lifestyle Competition. I apologise for his (at times) colourful language - suggest you don't read this blog if you are easily offended (there won't be any really filthy words, just some for grown up ones). But if you're game it will be a no-holds-barred account of his experience of the Comp - and of me as a trainer.

Blind + Crazy (or How to Tandem Mountain Bike)
Chris is a keen, slightly lazy mountain biker. Logan is ex-Army, blind, and madder than a box of badgers. Both live in Christchurch, New Zealand, with their demanding wives and children. Together, they are climbing onto a tandem mountain bike and hitting the mud and hills in an effort to learn all there is to learn about tandem mountain biking.

I'm 45 and was very very unfit :)
Tracey started working with me in October 2009, and in a very short 10 weeks she turned me into a much healthier version of myself. I lost 20cm all over and almost 5kg.
But the biggest change is I have now joined a gym and am signed up for the 20 Week Body & Lifestyle Competition with Tracey.

Hippo to Hornbag: See yourself morph from mud wallowing African river dweller into the kind of women that grown men would cut off their wobbly parts for. Get your flabby fetlocks along to dropandgiveme20 for the physical makeover that will turn you from Big Mac into a deliciously toothsome piece of ambrosia.
