So you’ve been running/cycling/swimming/walking regularly for a while now, and you don’t seem to be getting results. You might be surprised to learn just how much progress you’ve actually been making

"Get a bikini body in X weeks!" It’s back every spring. There’s too much money at stake for companies that feed on our insecurities. So let’s fight back.

Without the ability to sweat, we wouldn't be human. So just why is sweat so embarrassing? And why especially to women?

I sometimes feel as if I’m back to square 1. It can feel like one fitness failure after another. Any learning experience counts as success.

We grow through failure, although it definitely doesn't always feel that way, especially when you're trying to meet an exercise goal you've coveted for ages.

The first time I found myself taking part in a mass run it made a big impression - and had me in tears! My experience was so positive, I’m hoping it'll convince you to take the plunge.

As you get older it can feel as if getting fitter only gets harder. Knees are stiffer and you’re a lot less bendy. But it's really never too late to get fitter.
