It turns out I’m not the only one who’s trying to get outdoors more. Although with busy lives and house buying we know it’s not always possible, but here’s Five Ways to Get Outdoors More. I hope it’ll encourage you to spend weekends on your feet in the countryside as well. Have a look at […]

Exercising is often thought of as a means to an end: as a way to change our bodies by losing weight. While weight loss can be a helpful goal for many, thinking about exercise purely as a way to lose weight can lead to an unhealthy obsession over how many pounds you’re losing. Focusing on weight loss […]

Earlier this year I made a silly decision to roll my ankle quite badly, rendering walking and running impossible for a bit. Obviously I took the right amount of rest, but when I was able to I attempted to find some exercise that would work for me. With Dr W being a keen mountain biker […]

Moel Hebog is a summit easily achieved from Beddgelert on a short 9-10km route (depending on your descent). We’d turned up Saturday lunch time to our campsite, but because the weather was good we decided to attempt the summit. As we’d booked dinner at the Hebog bistro for 6pm we needed to get up and down in […]

I’ve made it no secret how much I got into home workouts during the pandemic. With my usual means of exercise shut (the pool) and even when they were briefly open I was still having to be careful, coz yay shielding! So I have become master of home workouts with a little help from Myprotein. […]
