Whenever I see a client who has come to me about weight loss we talk about exercise. In fact I talk about it with most of my clients. I run as often as I can and I also really like to get out and about on my bike and do some cycling. It's not just to help with weight and fitness but I really love being outside and getting fresh air. It really does help lift my spirits. Often, people say to me that they don't want to go to a gym. This can be either because its just very expensive or because it's not the right environment for them. I actually feel the same way. I just love the fresh air, so even if I am not running I like to get out and walk and just breathe that fresh air.

I really wanted to try something different to I went off to try a Zumba class. Run by Michelle Waldron of Fitness by Michelle I found myself surrounded by about fifty women who clearly knew the dance moves better than I did. I thought that the best thing to do was to record it so why not have a listen for yourself !

The thing about exercise is to find something that you like. It sounds obvious but if you find whatever you choose to do a chore then you just won't do it ! Find something that you can really enjoy !

This Thursday I am really looking forward to running a seminar at the Stratford Business Show. It takes place at the Civic hall in Stratford upon Avon, which of course is my home town. It is the fifth year the show has been held and it is a part of Stratford Business week.

My seminar is called "Don't run your business in a trance" I will be talking all about hypnosis and hypnotherapy and how the techniques that I use can be used by both individuals and companies to help them look towards the future and achieve their goals. I will also be looking at presentation nerves and how you can avoid them with some simple tips and tricks.

I will be talking a little about some of the other things that I have done in my various careers and hopefully giving people some entertainment as well as being informative!

If you are in Stratford this Thursday 4th October why not come down to the Civic Hall? Entrance is free and there will be many different companies from the area exhibiting for you to meet. As well as my seminar there are lots of other seminars to attend as well. I will be talking at 3pm if you would like to come and say hello.
