1. I went to school for 5+ years to study exercise and nutritional science. In that time, I was lucky enough to study and intern with some of the smartest minds in the world of health and fitness.
2. I LOVE anything with Will Ferrell in it. Even if the movie is awful, I’ll love it. That curly haired maniac just cracks me up.
3. I’ve caught the travel bug. Apart from making people look f**king hot, nothing else excites me like seeing new parts of the world.
4. I’m a language and culture enthusiast. Being English I can go pretty much anywhere in the world and people understand me. I hate that. I want to learn their language.
5. Once I start something I dive into it and get a little obsessed. I struggle with balance. Always have. Always will. I’m working on it though.
6. I love food but I hate preparing it. I’m lazy as shit with food and my love for routines means I pretty much eat the same stuff day in day out.
7. I’m a sucker for Mexican food. Ask me on a burrito date and I’ll stuff that thing down, fast.
8. I LOVE lifting heavy shit. I couldn’t think of anything worse than endurance sports. Cardio? What muscle is that and how do I train it?
9. I have a rather peculiar addiction to Scandinavian Dime cake. Don’t ask me how I discovered it but I’m so glad I did.
10. I have frequent dance offs with my mum. What can I say, the old bird loves to move. I’m just there to make sure she doesn’t pop a hip.
11. I’m a time management and productivity freak. Without structure I’ll just sit around and watch YouTube videos all day. Structure allows freedom.
12. My brain is a puzzling wonderhouse <<(not even a word) of useless information. Usually learned from my secret love. The Discovery Channel.
13. I LOVE reading. Mainly on the subjects of Health, wealth, love, and happiness.
14. My life revolves around the Kaizen principle; every day I make a constant and continual effort to improve all areas of my life, I’m on a never-ending pursuit to live the best life I can.
15. I try to meditate daily. I think learning to quiet our modern incessant minds is so useful. And no, I’m not a tree-humming hippy.
16. I’m a flapjack connoisseur (Oh yes. Fuck wine). So don’t ask me how much flapjack you can eat on a daily because my reply would be, “All the flapjack, eat all the flapjack”.
17. I could watch Kevin Hart all day, every day. I don’t need to train abs, I just watch him live.
18. I love adventure sports. I’ve been kayaking in Switerland, paragliding in Soča, and canyoning in Ljubljana (there both in Slovenia) and plan on doing a hell of a lot of skydiving in the future.
19. I’m from Leeds, England but I currently reside in New York City. You couldn’t imagine the difference.
20. From a young age I’ve been conditioned to be a dreamer but not a worker. I battle this everyday as I attempt to beat the resistance and work my balls off.
21. I’ve worked with both elite and recreational athletes but I’m most proud of helping good old regular folk.
