How customised personal training can benefit your life
Have you noticed a drop off in your workout results? Maybe you’re stuck in a routine or perhaps you are lacking the motivation to stick with a regular schedule. Instead of staying on the same path, challenge yourself to meet and beat more fitness goals with a customised personal training plan. Get Help with Motivation Sometimes the biggest challenge you face is motivation. You get up, go to the gym, do stretches, hit the treadmill or spin bike, and finish up with a weights circuit. This is great for a while, especially if you were new to regular workouts. And you got results. After several months or even a few…

It doesn’t focus on weight loss or getting your ‘pre baby’ body back. Its instead all about achieving a healthy body and feeling confident yourself after having a baby.…

Activ8rlives Buddyband 2 Activity Tracker Review
The BuddyBand 2 Activity Tracker is the creation of Aseptika Limited, a healthcare company founded in 2007. They have been working on self-monitoring devices and services under the brand Activ8rlives. The aim is that users can self-manage long term health conditions by self-monitoring.

We all know how difficult it is to keep fit when you’re a mum. The last thing I wanted to do when I had given birth was think about doing a workout.

I have been trying to get back into it for the last 6 months and even went to a class where I could literally wear Lottie while keeping fit. When she got too big (and heavy) to carry in a carrier, we stopped going so I have been making an effort to walk more which I really enjoy. However, with Summer fast approaching I was excited to delve into the 8-week My Coach School Summer Challenge! My Coach School is an…
