Look forward not back
Too often I hear people make comments about training sessions they have missed, or the fact that they have “done nothing for weeks”. There is a real regret that instead of being active they have avoided exercise and now they feel bad about it. They wish they had done things differently. In the same way we can dwell on what we have consumed in excess in a way that we wish we...Learn MorePut yourself first every now and then
When looking after other people is something you do every day sometimes it’s easier to forget about looking after yourself. Looking after yourself can actually end up adding to the overall work load and make you feel stressed. Here is an example – when I attend an evening training session I have to move quickly to organise an early dinner for the family. If this is not going to...Learn MoreTeam Dellafit does Mother’s Day Classic
“Let’s enter the Mother’s Day Classic – it’s a 4km run on Mother’s Day” I messaged the group some time in April. It was time for some of the members of the group to prove to themselves that they were now fit. I was met with a few replies to the effect of “I can’t do that! That is too far for me. I haven’t trained – I...Learn MoreMirren does it again
Many of you will have already read about Mirren in a previous blog entry. Inspired by her success, Mirren decided to embark on another 7 week “fit and strong” program where she would pay attention to her nutrition and train consistently at least 3 times a week.

People sometimes ask me how I stay motivated to train. I tell them that I am not particularly motivated. I prefer to see myself as consistent. For me training is not optional. It’s not something I do when I feel motivated. The best way to illustrate this is to ask you what motivates you to clean your teeth. Most people do not have to be motivated to clean their teeth. It is just...Learn MoreMirren’s success story
Meet Mirren before and after her 7 week Fit and Strong program at Dellafit. Even more awe inspiring are her fitness test results 7 weeks apart. She shaved 40 seconds off her run time (over 3 minutes down to 2 minutes and 20 seconds) and went from doing 12 burpees in a minute to doing 19. At the start Mirren could do 12 push ups on her knees in 30 seconds and by the end she was up to 18...Learn MoreGet Fit and Strong in 2017

Fiona turns up to train 3 times a week without fail. Her attitude at training is amazing – she puts in the effort and she gets results.

Her answers are useful to anyone contemplating joining...Learn MoreGet with the program as we get fit and strong for summer
