Why do people always say you should exercise in the morning? It’s not just a myth, it’s actually much better for you and if you’re going to do it, you might as well get it out of the way, right?

Well sure, that’s right but it’s more than just getting it out of the way, it’s about setting you up for the day, it’s about feeding your own needs, nurturing yourself and making yourself more productive.

Ditch the gym in January! Hire a Personal Trainer

Every January we make the same mistakes! Gyms & health clubs love it, they gain and they don’t really care if you stay (they’ve got you in a contract anyway) sometimes up to 18 or 24 months! That’s along time, not to mention the monthly gym fee. It’s even more demoralising when many signed up will rarely stick with it past January.
