All my Christmas jobs are practically done and already I feel the pressure lifting, it’s mad really! So now I need to concentrate on increasing my exercises again.

Madeline Simon (MS) – Two flat weeks then some results

Quite a flat week this week but on the positive side I have started making my Christmas cards and my exercise routine is starting to get back to where it should be. There is no excuse but I do find that the change in weather i.e. the pressure changes, have a lot to answer for. …

POWERbreathe User Trial: Phil Bradbury – The only way is up!

The POWERbreathe unit arrived just as I was about to leave for the station for a four day trip to Paris, so I stuck the box into my bag and left. Which meant I did not have the opportunity to view the DVD before I started using the unit. I already knew a little about …
