I’m willing to bet you’d love to know exactly how to minimize your body fat.
Unfortunately there is so much information out there (much of which is very contradictory) that you just don’t know where to start. As a result, you do just that – don’t start!

For the next 12 weeks I’ll be trialling the new style Intense Conditioning with some other poor bastards.

Whether you are into running or not, it’s always good to find out how elite athlete’s do it!
I hooked up with Lee Merrien a British cross-country athlete who is also a sub 4-minute miler.

Lee’s got body fat of around 5% but shock horror he eats lots of potatoes which have been outlawed by a lot [...]

Following on from my interview with Craig Ballantyne, I hooked up with world-renowned coach Alwyn Cosgrove.
If you’ve never heard of this guy, I strongly suggest you google him and see what you find!
