Creating goals for yourself, and finding ways to achieve them despite some setbacks, is a fundamental step in fitness success.  In this episode, inspirational coach Matt Lovett discusses this vital topic with Chris - and Matt's detailed thoughts and ideas. and approach, can help you progress faster than you thought possible.

In this episode Chris is joined in the MarlowFM studio by another presenter from the station, Angie Burns.  She has just come back from a health retreat - one whole week of nothing but juice, exercise and a little soup at the Juicy Oasis retreat in Portugal.  Chris is keen to find out all about it - did the week achieve Angie's objectives, will she modify her lifestyle now back at home, and would she go again?

Matt Marsh is one of the top physique and fitness model photographers in the UK.  In this fascinating conversation, he tells Chris (who has been a subject of Matt's photoshoots) all about the role of a physique photographer, the people that he shoots, and the changes that can bring to a fitness model's career.  And, away from the photo studio, we talk about Matt's own impressive fatness-down, fitness-up journey!

In this episode, I spend a half hour with Oggie, a well-known personal trainer who (like me) specialises in training those over 50.  We discuss many relevant aspects of fitness, in particular how age makes training different, but is certainly not a barrier.   I start off by asking Oggie how long he has been interested in fitness. This conversation was first broadcast on MarlowFM in my Good Morning Marlow show.

I am the radio guest today, as Paul Busby invites me on to his MarlowFM 'Health and Fitness' show.  We talk about fitness for the over-fifties - is it too late?  How to get started? How to improve?  Can I make the time needed? These are some of the questions we discuss, with some stories from my own experience to help explain the points. Plus some of my inspirational quotes and lines from my book.  And, of course, thanks to Paul for inviting me to be his guest!

My lockdown project has been to write a book - Fat To Fit At Fifty - which describes my own journey from obese and heart-attack-waiting-to-happen to becoming a fitness model world champion.  In addition, the book contains all the tips and advice you need for you to follow the full 3-stage fat-to-fit programme, designed to help other over-50s reduce their fatness levels, increase their fitness levels, and have a good time while doing it too.  In this podcast, Jill Huskisson of MarlowFM finds out about these and other points in the book from me, including the all-important 'Magic Moment'!   After over a year in writing, it is now available on Amazon.

BANT is the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine, and they have a campaign 'Food for Your Health' which aims to improve the nutrition of everyone in the UK.  In today's podcast, top nutritional therapist Lorna Rhodes, tells me about the campaign and gives many healthy eating and lifestyle tips.
