The No.1 Reason Why Women Don’t Get Muscles.. And Men Do

Despite the numerous benefits of a weight training routine, or even body-weight resistance training, very few women actually perform this type of workout.

There are a couple of reasons why this may be the case:

They feel intimidated going into the weight bay area.
They don’t want to develop muscles and look manly.

I understand why women might feel intimidated going into the weight bay area.

It used to be a place full of guys looking mean and moody, making all manner of grunting and groaning noises!

Plus, everyone seems to know what they are doing, and it can feel intimidating.

Comfi Contact Lenses – My Review

By Peter Leave a Comment

I have a real love/hate relationship with contact lenses. Sometimes I can wear them and not even notice they are in, other times it feels like there’s a piece of grit stuck in my eye.

I’ve been wearing glasses and contact lenses since I was sixteen years old. Primarily for vanity reasons, I wore contact lenses more often than glasses.

About fifteen years ago I underwent laser eye surgery. It was a total success, and I enjoyed many years being contact lens and glasses free.

Unfortunately age caught up with me, and my eyesight started to deteriorate again into my forties.

I started wearing glasses again – you know, the cool, designer types, along with prescription sun glasses.

But due to my job as a fire fighter, I really need contact lenses. Plus I don’t like wearing glasses on an evening out.

So I researched the best contact lenses that would fit my lifestyle. Continue Reading

Testosterone – What is It, and Why Do We Need It?

By Peter Leave a Comment

Testosterone is often a word we hear when referring to aggression, bodybuilding and various physical conditions such as extra body hair, deeper voice, etc.

My early day’s research on ‘ways to get a bigger physique’, led me to learning about testosterone being a ‘good thing’, which could increase my strength and muscle size.

While this is partly true, there is much more to this essential hormone than first meets the eye.

And if you are a woman reading this, it doesn’t mean that you don’t need testosterone – just less of it.

Our First Cruise – Independence of the Seas

By Peter Leave a Comment

In June 2017 my wife (Susan) and I, decided to embark on our first proper cruise.

I say ‘proper’ because we have done a mini-cruise across the North Sea from Hull to Rotterdam – but I don’t think that can count as a ‘cruise’.

After researching 16 million cruises, cruise lines, ships, reviews, recommendations, Trip Advisor, Cruise Critic, etc. etc. we went for one that sailed to Northern Europe and Scandinavia.

Ten months later and I’ve finally managed to put together this brief account of our experience.

Fitness Challenge – Week 8

By Peter Leave a Comment

I didn’t write up an update for week 7 because it’s just been a continuation of what I’m doing.

My goals for last the last two weeks were:

3 Days – The Happy Body Exercises | 4 Days – 100 Push-Ups, 2 Minutes Plank | 7 Days – 3 Pull-Ups

It was a bit of a crazy week or so, and I didn’t complete all my daily fitness goals.

But hey – that’s life!

If I miss a day, or fall short of some of the fitness tasks, then so be it.
