Taller than your average exerciser…

I’m not normally in the habit of donning a belly top for the gym, there’s nothing wrong with doing so but the reason why I look like I do above is simply because I’m rather tall. With the average height of a woman in the UK being around 5ft 4.5in, my struggle to find well fitting and affordable gym wear for my 5ft 11in frame is kind of understandable. But actually, I’m not even that tall! I know and regularly see plenty of women who’re over 6ft, so surely buying exercise clothes shouldn’t be so hard?

The best free mixtape for a Swift 5k

The February sun was shining, the park was mere minutes from my doorstep and yet, once again my trainers we’re still in the shoe rack. This scene has been a bit too familiar of late, so in a bid to get over my running hump I went in search of some musical inspiration. And boy, did I find it!

2014 Health Check – The Good Life

New year, new hopes and dare I say it… new resolutions? I’m sure you’re as sick as me of hearing that old cliché, so this year I’m opting for a more scientific approach and the year starting with an annual health check. Handily, to celebrate their recent ‘The Good Life Research‘ Holland & Barrett kindly sent me a Good Life pack of healthy goodies to kickstart my 2014. So whilst I tuck into my pack of wheat free, wholegrain, stem ginger oat biscuits (edibles = first thing opened, obviously), here are my priorities for the next twelve months.

Exercising for free during the holidays – DIY yoga and 10k podcast

We’ve now entered that weird twilight zone that seems to happen between Christmas and New Year, it’s easy to get a little distracted and often fail to keep to a normal routine – perfectly demonstrated by my lack of regular posting.
