November 14, 2016 No Comments

So you want to get into shape? Well, what exactly does that mean? The concept of fitness is as frustrating as it is noisy and confusing. The wrong fitness path For most of us, we’ve committed to getting fit for all the wrong reasons. We’ve seen Hollywood celebrities parading around their rock hard and well-formed bodies and we’ve dreamt of being just like them. We’ve let the over photoshopped, over marketed perception of fitness persuade us into thinking that we aren’t...

#FitnessChallenge Day 12 Conquering the mountain.

In the rain and fog we ventured out on a 2.5 hour grind up to the top of one of our local mountains.

Fitness Challenge: Fat, stressed, unhealthy and fed up
