This is week I’m not just doing PT, I have been working with school nurses on a project on how to get over weight kids in to playing sport. We have been working on fun but active games and also how to get the parents involved with the kids training, it has been very fun but hard work. I will be travelling around South London giving talks and work shops on ways to get every kid in school  playing sport and exercise, bit like Jamie Oliver in the gym.

Good old fashioned skipping, still brilliantexercise now and great fun to do with clients.

Quite a long run in the park with added exercises that I must say look a lot like a Monty …

My difficulties with losing weight mean that I treat my weight loss journey like a military campaign. I know I shouldn’t (sorry Michael) and I’m trying to wean myself from the habit of weighing every day.
