Hike Nepal 2024 – 17th May

It’s Hike Nepal 2024 and we are not getting away without drama!!! We’ve only just met Linda and she’s already ruined everything by getting a BLUE T-Shirt instead of a green one like the rest of the group – except not all of the group had a green one either. Today’s drama started yesterday when […]

Hike Nepal 2024 – 15th & 16th May

Our 2024 gym trip is the first hike we’ve done in Nepal in 6yrs, and is not likely to be the last, but like any of our gym adventures, there was drama and uncertainty. We were tested physically, emotionally, mentally, and in more ways than one – starting with the flight there. We had driven […]

Sleep is sexy… and we also do a lot of it! On average we spend roughly a third of our lives in bed sleeping. It’s how our bodies rejuvenate, regulate and energize. Some studies have shown that approximately 55% of the world’s population suffer sleep issues and that women are affected more than men(1). The average […]

How Powerful Pattern Recognition Can Be, and Why a Personal Trainer is the BEST Person for it!

Pattern recognition is a powerful adaptation of all humans everywhere. However, most of the time it is for responsible stereotyping, and also a mental function called “confirmation bias”; where we look for evidence confirming our beliefs.  There is a shiny side to pattern recognition though (apart from survival that is!), and in this case it […]

Matching Your Exercise to Your Body Type

We all have a different body type which falls under 3 main categories…Ectomorph, Endomorph and Mesomorph. When you filled out our health questionnaire at IntoYou, you would have been asked which one you think you are. In this article I thought I would give you information on each body type and their characteristics along with what […]
