The TRX

Copy Men's Health? Moi? The TRX is the latest fitness gadget - it's great for core strength (apparently ha ha). The key thing with this circuit based article was the eye-catch design.

Reader interactive fitness challenge...

Check this out for a fitness circuit! 300 reps as quick as possible - my PT 'guinea pig' did it in under 11 minutes. The crazy fool! A great interactive feature which I wrote and filmed it. It's a great interactive article - I put the final video on YouTube for readers to watch, try to beat and then upload their own results.

In The Navy now

I went to Portsmouth to do a photoshoot and feature on board HMS Kent - a type 23 frigate (huge battleship to you and me). The piece was looking at sport in the Armed Forces and I wrote about the practicalities and excitement of playing sport whilst on active duty.

Eyeball this...

I interviewed Dr Calder - an expert in training your eyes to perform better in any sport. She was working with Team GB before the Beijing Olympics. Men's Health magazine loved the idea and I did a feature for them. Take a peek...

She's a GLADIATOR!

One of the best interviews i've done recently was with the winner of the new Sky One series of Gladiator! As usual, however, the pictures were even better [click to enlarge] ...

Beijing Olympics

After the Olympics I was able to interview the Great Britain goalkeeper, Ali McGregor. Ok, so it might not be as cool as meeting Chris Hoy but Ali does face a really hard ball hurtling towards his face at 100mph. Besides, he was amazing during the tournament and helped the men have their best finish at the Olympics since 1988. And he's really amusing...

Inspired

I've been going to the gym for six years. And I'm still puny. So it's great to get to talk to people who have done something amazing in the gym. The 'Inspiration' page in Men's Fitness is where men like Richard Miller talk to me about the experience of losing an incredible amount of weight and turning their lives around.
