Eat Fresh & Keep Fit

​It’s National Allotment Week this week. It was set up to remind us how beneficial an allotment can be for everyone. So if you have one, get down to it. Or if you know someone who does, ask them if you can help.

Dedicated to reach the levels

So let it be an inspiration for you to commit to get fit to Premiership levels this season. For instance, it’s reckoned the average player runs about seven miles in the 90 minutes of a match, and that will be at varying paces, with breaks between each sprint, trot or run.

Get fitter when training side by side

We see plenty of friends join our gyms together. There are fantastic reasons to as it means both encourage each other to go, and push each other to achieve more when they’re there – and so get fitter when training side by side. Plus it’s more fun! That’s on the way, during and afterwards as you warm down together.

Cycle, Cycle, Cycle

​This year’s Tour de France – the 105th no less! – is now in its last week. More than 170 riders set off on 7th July to see who can ride 2,069 miles fastest over all sorts of terrain.

Schools Out

School’s out (for what seems) forever! At least for many schools in the UK it’s the beginning of several weeks of holidays. And who doesn’t remember the joy felt at the start of the school summer holidays? Didn’t those holidays when you were a child just stretch on and on, days of endless fun…

World Cup Final

​You are either love this year’s World Cup football fest in Russia – or can’t wait for it to end! If you fall into the latter category, don’t worry, because it is nearly over…

World Chocolate Day

It’s a day for all things cocoa-based. And while chocolate may often contain a large number of calories and be loaded with too much sugar it also has considerable health benefits – as well as being just about the tastiest stuff on the planet!

International Sunglasses Day

​It’s time to not only look cool, but also let people know you’re more than just a pretty face… on International Sunglasses Day 2018 on 27th June.

Men’s Health Week

​From the 11th to 17th June it’s Men’s Health Week, a time of awareness for health issues that disproportionately affect men. This year the week of male health awareness coincides with Diabetes Week. It’s a timely coincidence.

Summer Strength

It’s June and, in theory, at least, that means – here comes the summer! And who doesn’t want to look their best when the sun shines? Or when we’re lucky enough to sunbathe on a beach or around the pool on holiday?
