ARTICLES & LINKS

I'll be adding to this page over the next few weeks. Feel free to suggest articles and links that you think I'll be interested in!

http://projectabz.blogspot.com/ This is another of my blogs which was started to detail my eight week fat loss experiment (for charity) using an extreme version of the paleo diet but has turned into a progress log of my lifting and competing.

This is a great article (reviewing a research paper) on why consumption of fizzy drinks is probably one of the biggest causes of unwanted weight gain.

The article below is great as it highlights the benefit of resistance training. Of the options mentioned, kettlebells would be my absolute favourite alternative to free weights in a gym. They are so compact and versatile. I have been using them for years and I believe they can have a place in every training programme, whether you're a beginner or if you've been training for years.

The article also mentions www.stumptuous.com which was one of my favourite websites when I got started on my fitness journey. I still check back from time to time as her articles are well written and interesting.
