In this week’s episode of the MKB Healthy Living Podcast, Maxine shares her latest personal challenge: running every single day throughout April, with a minimum of 2 miles per day.

After completing her recent half marathon, Maxine explains why she always needs a goal to stay motivated and how setting new challenges helps her stay consistent and focused. She also talks about how daily movement builds discipline and confidence over time.

Maxine also introduces a new addition to her training routine — ropeless battle ropes — and explains how they help strengthen the core, improve endurance, and can be used at home without needing much space.

As always, Maxine invites listeners to get involved and reminds everyone that their story could inspire someone else. If you’d like to join the podcast as a guest and share your health or running journey, you can get in touch at:📩 [email protected]

In this week’s episode of the MKB Healthy Living Podcast, Maxine talks about one of the most important parts of any health journey — motivation.

With a half marathon coming up this Sunday, Maxine shares how having a goal helps keep her focused and committed to training. She discusses why setting goals can make such a difference when it comes to running, improving fitness, and staying consistent.

The episode also explores motivation when it comes to weight loss and healthy living, including reducing alcohol intake, cooking tasty healthy meals, and recognising the importance of seeing progress to stay on track.

Maxine also shares why healthy living doesn’t have to be extreme — it’s about balance, sensible choices, and building habits that last.

At the end of the episode, Maxine invites listeners to become guests on the podcast and share their own health and running journeys to inspire others.

In this episode, Maxine talks openly about looking after yourself both mentally and physically. She shares her experience of taking part in Dry January, what she’s learnt about alcohol, balance, and knowing your limits, and why awareness matters more than restriction. The conversation also focuses on nourishing your body with regular, sensible meals, ditching the guilt around food, and why starving yourself doesn’t support long-term health or weight loss. We explore balanced eating, portion awareness, cutting back on sugar, filling up on fruit and vegetables, and allowing the occasional treat — all with kindness, not punishment. A gentle, honest episode about building a healthier lifestyle that actually lasts.

In this episode of the MKB Healthy Living Podcast, we talk about the importance of community, support, and moving safely. Maxine shares why the MKB Healthy Living Virtual Running Club is about encouragement, not competition, and why you never have to do this journey alone. We also cover the importance of warming up, stretching, staying hydrated, and using electrolytes after longer runs — all key parts of building a healthy, sustainable routine. This episode is a reminder to move kindly, listen to your body, and support one another along the way.

In this episode of the MKB Healthy Living Podcast, we talk about why building movement gradually is one of the best things you can do for both your body and mind. We explore the benefits of moving regularly, how to stay motivated, and why you don’t have to do it alone. From joining groups and local communities to Parkrun and finding movement you actually enjoy, this episode is all about creating habits that last — without pressure, comparison, or guilt.

In this week’s episode of the MKB Healthy Living Podcast, we’re talking about why consistency matters more than motivation when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle.

We explore:

This episode is all about progress over perfection — showing up, even on the days you don’t feel like it, and building habits that support your wellbeing long-term.

✨ Remember: consistency beats intensity every time.

In this motivational episode, Maxine talks honestly about the fears that stop so many of us from getting outside and moving — worrying about what others think, feeling too slow, or believing we can’t do it. Drawing on her own experience, she reminds us that movement is about feeling better, not being perfect. We also explore reducing alcohol after the festive season, nourishing your body with simple food, and how joining the Move More in January challenge and the MKB Healthy Living Facebook group can help you stay supported and accountable.

January can feel heavy — low energy, dark days, and pressure to do everything perfectly.

In this episode, I’m talking about why moving your body helps your mental wellbeing, how even gentle movement can lift your mood, and why accountability — without pressure — is so important.

We explore:

• How movement supports your mind

• Why small steps really do count

• What accountability actually means (and what it doesn’t)

• Why the only person you’re letting down is yourself — but how group support helps you keep going

This episode isn’t about perfection or strict routines.

It’s about showing up for yourself, moving in ways that feel good, and knowing you don’t have to do it alone.

If January feels hard, this one’s for you
