Unfortunately many people in the UK do not enjoy the work that they do. Many have to get up early to then commute long distances and fight there way to the JOB! Then when their working day is finally over they will have to drag their tired selves back home! After a long day many people are so fed up and tired that they start to find comfort in binging on whatever foods are available! & due to the dark evenings the typical office worker will come up with whatever excuse they can possibly find not to exercise!

Well if this is YOU! Stop it now!

Do the following!

1. Find a JOB which you enjoy!  

2. Cut out the excuses!

3. Eat more structured & healthier meals

4. Exercise regularly to avoid feeling low

5. Book a short break or holiday every 6 months to give yourself a break!

If that doesnt work contact us instead! www.gtpt.co.uk

Well it’s not everyday you get to meet a Multi Olympian and Double GB Record holder!

I met with Chris Tomlinson on Sunday 27th November 2011 in London at his local training ground. Chris is a very tall bloke! As you would expect from any jumper! He has a good spirit and is very approachable.

We spent some time talking about his career and experiences, how he’s managed to retain the record in Great Britain for the indoor and outdoor long jump and it was very encouraging to see how he had managed to pick himself up from injury after injury. Obviously sprinting towards a sand pit at 25 miles per hour and throwing yourself into the air would cause a bit of damage over time!

Chris is a definate hopeful for next years London 2012 Olympic Games and I am very happy to have met up with him and had a face to face interview with him. The interview will appear on my YouTube Channel after the 12th December 2011 with footage of Chris demonstrating the long jump.

I find most athletes at the top of their game like Chris are very laid back and relaxed, however as soon as they start to train for an event in their sport they are completely focused.

There are good and bad in almost everything and nutritional fat is the same. People are advised through media and sources alike that all fats are potentially bad and the cause for the obesity problem in the UK and beyond. This is only partly true!

Yes, saturated fats are bad, but it’s carbohydrates I believe are the real problem! More precisely, simple carbs or high glycemic carbs. Carbohydrates are the body’s first fuel for energy, it’s other factors which decide whether your body stores this energy for later use (converted to fat) or burns it.

To lose body fat you need the body to decide to burn… GOOD fats contribute to this deciding factor!

Some suggested sources of good fats/ oils are:

• Fish oils – Omega 3 along with its many benefits to the body encourages insulin sensitivity
• Coconut oil – stays stable at high temperatures when cooking with it
• Natural nuts – nuts are rich in protein and good fats
• Olive oil
• Eggs (egg yolks)
• Meat

Another reason for eating these fats:

• Some vitamins are fat soluble such as A, D, E , K which means they need fat to be absorbed by the body.
• Fats aren’t all that bad and it is important to know the benefits. More importantly, the difference between the type of fats.
• An essential point is that good fats will not work effectively on their own. An all round good nutritional lifestyle is needed.
• Typically people that are on a lower carb intake lifestyle including plenty of good fats/ oils daily along with high protein tend to have a high success of achieving fat loss/toning goals!

That’s why I say… EAT FAT TO LOSE FAT!

STAY STRONG BE INSPIRED!

Many people decide to go under the knife each and every year. It can be for a variety of reasons; ears pinned back or the usual tummy tuck or breast implants! The problem is how can the government distinguish the difference between someone having surgery for vanity purposes and someone having surgery to benefit their own mental well being?

Unfortunately all forms of surgery carry risks! Even with todays best science and doctors on stand by there can always be complications! So whenever you look at surgery do your research and make sure it’s what you really want!

It was said in the BBC news recently that the government have been discussing the possibility of increasing the cost of this type of “cosmetic surgery” by a further 20% in VAT (value added tax). Will this lead to many people going abroad running the risk under a foreign surgeons knife?

Is cosmetic surgery vanity or needed for mental health stability? What is your view on this?

In a triumph for legacy over lucre London beat gas-rich Qatari capital Doha 16-10 in a vote held in Monaco.

“Another great win for Seb and the team,” said Beckham in praise of 2012 Olympics boss Sebastian Coe and colleagues who included past and present track stars Denise Lewis and Jodie Williams.

“It will be fantastic for the city and the country. Would never have imagined where I was born in the East End hosting two world class sporting events. Exciting times.”

London was given the nod despite Doha pledging to foot the bill for the £5 million prize money and promising a further £18m in sponsorship.

But athletics’ chiefs instead bought into London’s promise that the World Championships offered the “greatest possible legacy off the back of the Olympics.”

Prime Minister, David Cameron and even the likes of Prince William commented on the recent events with FIFA, which supported their decision to be over turned.

We picked up on this article from another website…

“Like many fellow Brits, I respect and admire those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the many wars this country has fought. I put my money in the tin, make a donation to the Poppy Appeal and, throughout the week that it’s on my jacket, I remember the dead – and the huge sacrifice they have made for my family and my country. I don’t wear it every minute of the day but I don’t need to. It’s a personal gesture and a private decision.

What happened this week is really quite strange, given that the history of the Poppy Appeal goes back 90 years, and the fact that the regulations around playing kit laid out by football’s governing body, FIFA, are pretty straightforward. The England team has taken part in dozens of fixtures close to Remembrance Sunday since the Haig Fund was established and has never seen fit to add anything to its shirts beyond the famous Three Lions crest and the kit-maker’s logo.

This time, however, England decided to go big, and the English FA seemed assume that there would be no problem in doing so. The national anthem would be accompanied by wreath-laying, poppies on tracksuits, and then, as with the kits of many English Premier League teams for the past few seasons, a poppy would be printed on the playing shirts. This was a completely unilateral decision. The British Legion hadn’t even asked for the poppy on the shirt, and there appeared to be little or no consideration of FIFA’s regulations….”

The 32-year-old gained muscle and dropped from a size ten to a size six thanks to trainer Tim Sharp’s strict 50-day bodybuilding diet, filmed for forthcoming Discovery Channel documentary Jodie Marsh Bodybuilder.

Pictures of the Essex girl’s new appearance prompted widespread criticism online, but Jodie says she “doesn’t give a s*** what they say, I feel sexier than I have for ten years”. She also says her new toned physique has made her more attractive to the opposite sex, saying: “I have never attracted so much interest from blokes in my life.”

She told The Sun: “It’s been a real eye-opener. For the last two years I went through a complete drought of men… But since I became a bodybuilder I’ve suddenly got about 50 guys interested in me.”

Many were shocked by Jodie Marsh’s appearance (Picture: @TimSharp43/YFrog)

The reality star first found fame on documentary Essex Wives before appearing on a number of shows including Totally Jodie Marsh, in which she hunted for a husband before marrying Matt Peacock, and Jodie Marsh: Tattoo Apprentice in which she tried to forge a career as a tattoo artist.

She has often discussed her low self-esteem in interviews, even appearing on The Jeremy Kyle Show to discuss her suicidal thoughts, but says her new look has finally given her body confidence. Discussing criticism of her new look, Jodie said: ‘I don’t think I look like a man. I’m only 5ft 2in and in normal clothes I just look well toned. “There were times in the past when I hated the way I looked. When I look back at some of the photos of me in my ‘heyday’ they make me feel physically sick… I look flabby, fat and full of cellulite. I used to loathe my body but now I absolutely adore it.”
