I’ve got the rugby curse/blessing of a phat (fat) ass. Beyoncé esque but with a little less insurance. Why? Well the simple reason is the sport and the exercises’ associated to leg exercises have allowed me to reap the benefits. Since losing most of the muffin top (and muffin supply) I’ve worked hard on my legs and bum. Main reasons ‘for me’ being; They’re the biggest muscle(s) in your body –…

The age old dilemma of what to actually eat and what is most beneficial for your body and muscles?

No – for the political nerds out there – I’m not talking about the British electoral system. I am proposing a 15 minute interval training work out.

The last week and a bit I have eaten like a pig at a buffet (trotters and all) and done little to no exercise. But that’s alright. The previous Harry, like a radical catholic, would have beaten himself up and ironically would have eaten worse because of it and probably stopped exercising.
