My hotel room desk (I live in hotels 5/6 days a week). Supplements and daily food - just wish I had a fridge here (I could buy a mini fridge but just more effort than it’s worth, I use the one in my office if essential)

Currently listening to ‘chavs’ by Owen Jones on Audible. A deep-dive into hugely problematic issues with social classes in England.

😂 usually I hold off from posting selfies with actual sweat on them but… just walking into the gym with no AC (broken AC) was enough to start. So, I figured I’d get on with my workout and just suck it up. Looking forward to more ‘normal’ temperatures here! A little sun would be nice… just less heat!

We’re definitely not used to any kind of hot weather over here. It’s just hit 40c now and still rising - the hottest day on record over here. Meanwhile… Jo be like… hold my drink 😂 That said, I like heat but I don’t like not being able to run for long when it’s so warm!

Aha for sure. I’m probably a couple of months away from being able to actually start actively releasing. Currently spending my non working time researching, recording, editing (rinse repeat) - I want to have about 20 ready before I actually release, so that I can roll out 2 per week and be able to still have time to keep…

Previously health and fitness related, opinions and discussions. We used to cover everything from fads to supplements and the terrible companies behind some of them. My passion is more towards history and terrible people from history - so my new one that I’m working on is currently solo and deepdiving events and people…

I had a podcast and YouTube channel, both fairly successful and working on a new podcast BUT I still hate the sound of my own voice when playing it back! I’ve come to terms with it now 😂

Thanks Jo! Waited until about 11pm before going outside for a run and then hitting the gym after. Even then, it was close to 26c. Definitely looking forward to getting our bland English weather back lol. It’s far easier to run for much longer times and further distances at 16c than 26 😂 Hope you’re doing okay!

Sweating it out in the gym during the heatwave over here in the UK!

There is a suggestions area of the forum. That area is regularly visited by the community team, in turn relayed back to those that make decisions.. Adding a feature that just allowed constant suggestions via mailbox would likely be counter productive, with so many members - things would be swamped and good ideas would be…

I live in hotels about 6 nights a week, so… here’s a hotel room 😂

Ready for a long night!

My take is this. On the subject of health and fitness, there are legions of people that want quick fixes and an easy ride. If a fact isn’t convenient, they will look at any source, regardless of how credible and latch onto it for dear life. I doubt there is anything that everybody agrees on. It’s just not the nature of…

Plenty. Define bodybuilder? It’s a pretty overused phrase - though, I’ll assume that you’re meaning bulk/cut competition type? Whilst I’m not a bodybuilder, I bulk and cut on a yearly basis and monitor my body fat levels throughout the year. Spending most of my time at 14% and then dropping down to 10-11% throughout summer…

I live most of my life in hotels. On average, I spend 6/7 days/nights a week in them.

I’m not really sure, I feel that with her post count - possibly. Anyway. Hi! So, now. Yes. Kind of. Heh, it’s early here, gimme a break 😂

Crushed my workout goal by 6:30am. Nice run and chest workout! 7km (short for my usual run but my ankle isn’t happy with me from driving through traffic constantly). Still, great start to the day!

Looking great as always! So glad that you’re doing well, try not to get hung up on age.. it’s just a number, we’re all here and in this life thing together and as they say, you’re only as old as you feel! Although, given that last sentence, I’ve just aged myself by about 20 years 😂

Glad you avoided an accident. I drive a lot with my job and some of the attitudes to safety that some lorry drivers have is terrible. I’m sure it isn’t all but I do see a lot that seem lapse with safety.

Hug 🤗

5:20am and having coffee before my run ☕️

Very welcome! Good luck with everything 🙂

@CeeBeeSlim It’s a difficult one, especially with the slight herniated disk. I did a quick search and found a resource that might be useful for you: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324311#exercises-for-low-back-pain Particular attention to the ones that focus on the area that you’re having trouble with. I was…

@siberiantarragon I'd argue strongly that being 'shallow' is definitely subject to definition. I would consider myself to be shallow, based on vague definitions (being bothered about aesthetics as well as personality) - though, I do also care about personalities. I'd say that the world of relationships isn't 'fair' because…

@ninerbuff True. I think it just becomes less appealing when you just don’t feel to have anything to prove. For me, I see very little joy in doing something that with even the slightest miscalculation can put me out of action for a week. I do see the fun that people have with it though and I’m all about doing whatever…

@CeeBeeSlim From the very limited information that I have to go off, you’d be far better working on a stretch routine for your lower back. It all depends on the cause of the aches, the exercises can alleviate the aches but if there’s something that causing it, you’re better off addressing the cause alongside the…

Much less flattering post run pic 😂

Dermot Kennedy - Outnumbered https://youtu.be/A48hOToMuRE Have this on repeat at the moment 😂

It all comes down to budget really. I have a blendtec blender and I LOVE it, I only bought it because a local company went bust and was selling their hardwares. I’ve had Ninja blenders, they’re good apart from the fact that I found mine tricky to clean. There are pros and cons to all. As mentioned above, juice extractors…
