CHANCES are you know that ice-cream, chocolate biscuits and potato chips are not likely to be your friends when weight control is the goal but what about the other silent saboteurs that slip into your diet regularly? 
I love hearing from people who are experts in the field and asking them about the little quirks of life that their experience has given them a certain controversial opinion on. I recall a conversation with a surgeon who mentioned he would never want to own or encourage anyone he knows to buy a motorcycle given that he has been responsible for harvesting organs from a number of motorcycle fatalities throughout his career. I recall hearing that according to author Jared Diamond, Papua New Guinean tribes never sleep under dead trees and he was able to decipher that a significant number of people in Papua New Guinea are killed by falling trees and branches every year. In his own life he likens this risk to having a car accident or falling in the bathroom and consequently is now exceedingly careful in these areas of his life. So if you ask an experienced personal trainer what do overweight people have in common, what would he say. Well, here is my list and yes it is controversial and includes some generalisations but I bet you or someone you know falls into many of these weight gain traps:

Everyone loves doing a personal best (PB). It doesn’t matter if it is lifting weights, running, swimming, riding. It’s a great feeling that you have just taken your body to a level which it has never achieved before. What maked this blog so special is that as we age a lot of us start to feel like a PB is not attainable. I don’t like this mindset. I like the old dog that wants to learn new tricks. I like the attitude that says you are never to old to change and I like an attitude that knows that your body will adapt to any new stimulus you put it through and its response can be remarkable given enough time and the correct progression strategy.
Nigel is one of my clients who has such an attitude and last week he ran a 5km PB of 19mins 50secs at the age of 40! This is he how we did it:
