You are on a diet, fat loss is going well, then out of the blue you have a stressful day or a party invite you just cannot turn down. This leads to an alcohol/fast-food fuelled weekend. So here is how to rescue the diet from the carnage of your weekend and get back on track relatively easily.

If you have ever worked out hard in the gym or during any sport, then chances are you have felt this soreness. It is a side effect of strenuous physical activity and it tends to be called DOMS (Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness).

We use this term when referring to very small improvements (1% or less) in many related disciplines, that when compounded, lead to a much greater improvement in performance.

Fitness for free is something I really advocate. I personally believe cost should never be a barrier to health and so I want to discuss one type of the many free fitness activities out there, the “Parkrun”.

How many of you go to the gym and dive straight into your working sets? I can tell you now, going from sitting in an office to suddenly putting your body under strain is a sure-fire way to getting yourself injured.
