Ever feel like your body is working against you instead of with you?

I’ve just shared a new blog post called “The Recovery Secret: Why You Need Sports Massage.” It’s all about the piece of the puzzle that often gets missed, and how it can help you keep moving forward without the setbacks.

Whether you’re training hard or just staying consistent, recovery is what makes the progress stick. I’m really grateful for the chance to share this with you.

You can read the full article on the website now. Join me over there and let’s get those muscles feeling right.

Starting a journey with Mounjaro is a massive step for your health, but it often brings up a big question: how do you keep your muscle while the weight comes off?

Muscle is your foundation. It keeps you moving, supports your joints, and plays a huge role in your overall metabolic health. When your body is going through significant changes, staying strong is the best way to ensure you feel as good as you look.

I’ve just shared a new post on the blog diving into exactly how to manage Mounjaro and muscle health together. It’s packed with simple, effective ways to stay on track during this transformation.

Join me over at www.musclesmatter.co.uk to catch the full post.

I'm really grateful for everyone sharing their progress with me lately. It’s incredible to see these changes happening in real-time.

Thinking about taking the first step but not sure where to begin?

I often get asked exactly how the process works and how to get started with coaching. To make things as easy as possible, I’ve put together a quick guide on the blog today called "Ready to Start? How to Book."

Whether you are looking for online personal training or specific strength and conditioning support, this covers everything you need to know to secure your spot.

I am so grateful for the trust you place in me to help you reach your goals. It’s a privilege to be part of your fitness journey.

Head over to the website to read the guide and let’s get moving.

Did you know your calf muscles are often called your body’s "second heart"? They play a huge role in your circulation, but they’re also one of the first places to get tight when we’re busy.

The good news is you don’t need a gym or fancy gear to keep them happy. I’ve just posted a new guide on how you can work some simple stretches into your daily routine: all from the comfort of your kitchen.

Whether you’re waiting for the kettle to boil or the toast to pop, these quick moves can make a world of difference to how your legs feel.

Kitchen Counter Calves is live now on the blog. Take a look and join me in making mobility a natural part of your day: www.musclesmatter.co.uk

I’m so grateful for all the support you show for these tips. It means a lot to be able to help you move a bit better every day.

Check it out and let me know which stretch becomes your new kitchen go-to!

Getting your body moving doesn’t need to be a major production.

I’ve just shared a new 10-minute mobility routine on the blog. It’s designed to fit into your morning or act as a quick reset during the day, whether you’re training for a race or just want to feel a bit less stiff after sitting at a desk.

These are the same simple, effective movements I use with my online coaching clients to keep them feeling strong and moving well.

You can find the full routine at www.musclesmatter.co.uk.

I’m really grateful for all of you who keep me updated on your progress: it’s amazing to see how these small daily habits add up. Let me know how you feel after trying it!

If you’re using Mounjaro to help with your weight loss journey, you’ve likely seen some incredible results already. It’s a powerful tool, but there’s one thing we really need to keep an eye on: your muscle mass.

When you lose weight rapidly, your body doesn't just burn fat: it can also tap into your hard-earned muscle. Losing muscle can slow down your metabolism and leave you feeling less "toned" than you’d hoped.

The good news? You can absolutely protect your muscle while the weight comes off. Here are three essentials to focus on:

1. Lift something heavy. Resistance training is the best way to tell your body that your muscle is still needed. Aim for a consistent programme that challenges you.
2. Prioritise protein. Your muscles need fuel to stay strong. Ensure you're hitting your daily protein targets even if your appetite is lower.
3. Don't skip recovery. Your body is doing a lot of work right now. Quality sleep and rest days are non-negotiable for muscle maintenance.

I’ve put together a full guide on how to optimise your training while on Mounjaro. You can read the full blog on the website now.

Keep up the amazing work!

If your workouts feel like punishment… no wonder you “can’t be bothered”.

Training shouldn’t be a weekly chore you dread. The best plan is the one you actually enjoy doing : whether that’s lifting, running, boxing, swimming, hiking, or just getting stronger without living in a gym.

As an ex-rugby lad who’s had his fair share of injuries, I’m big on one thing: keep it fun AND keep you moving well. Enjoyable training + smart progression = better consistency and less niggles.

If you want help finding a style of training that suits you (and keeps you injury-free), I do online PT and we’ll build it around your life.

It’s Monday. You don’t need a massive makeover… you just need one small win.

For today (Jan 26), pick ONE thing you can tick off:
• 10 min walk before work
• 15 min strength circuit at home
• A proper warm-up before your run
• Drink the water, eat the protein
• Book that massage you’ve been putting off

Small wins stack up. And when they stack up, your body starts feeling better, moving better, and training stops feeling like a battle.

If you’re in Woodbridge and you want a simple plan that actually fits real life, give me a shout. I’ve got 1-2-1 and small group sessions, plus online coaching.

What’s your small win for today?

Behind the scenes this Sunday: laptop open, plans written, calls across different time zones… and the recovery toolkit always within reach. 🌍💻

This is the bit you don’t always see: the prep that makes your sessions smoother, your training more consistent, and your body feel better between workouts.

Huge thanks to every client who shows up and puts the work in. I don’t take it lightly.

Coming tomorrow: New blog post : “Ditch the Dread”.
If training has started to feel like a chore, you’ll want to give this a read.

If you’re on Mounjaro and the weight is flying off… there’s a hidden problem nobody chats about enough.

When you lose weight fast, you can lose muscle too (some research suggests up to 39%). And muscle is what keeps your metabolism, strength, joints and confidence in a good place.

I’m on Mounjaro myself and I’m down 6 stone : and the biggest game-changer for keeping muscle has been simple.

My rule: 2–3 strength sessions per week.
Nothing fancy. Just consistent.

If you want the full breakdown (what to do, why it works, and how to start if you’re not a gym person) the blog link is in bio.
