With the now traditional mud squelching scenes from Glastonbury it must mean that summer has arrived! Holiday destinations beckon for many which means that space frees up in our personal training diary. Normally this diary is pretty full with little room for manoeuvre but over the next 8 weeks we have some extra availability.
We can create a new program of exercises that will refresh your training at home or your gym. Or you and a friend/ partner can train together for added fun and motivation! Why not get the whole family to join you for some family fitness sessions! To find out more, email [email protected] and we will try and fix a day and time for you to try a Personal Training session. |

Recipe
It’s been a while since I posted a recipe, but this one is worth the wait, easy and delicious! Who would have thought that chicken could taste so good? This recipe is adapted from Tom Kerridges ‘weekend chicken’. Tom recommends brining the chicken the night before you cook it, I have not tried that step, but trust me this slow cook version is delicious without the 12 hours in brine!
