Who isn’t busy? Is it just me, or does anyone else desperately need an extra four or five hours in the day? Seriously, some days I don’t know where the time goes. So I completely understand when I hear people say, ‘I don’t have time to spend hours in...

How many 51-year-olds out there can still do the splits? Gina Payne-Scott is one, although she wasn’t always so fit. By her mid-40s she was overweight and plagued with aches and pains; after a simple walk, she was out of breath. “For at least ten yea...

Some of my favourite moments working at Alchemy Fitness are watching clients’ children peer around the corner as their parents work out. If you watch long enough, you will see them mimicking bicep curls with water bottles or trying out a burpee or a...

Goodbye dry January, hello February! Thank God for that. I made it through with just a few slip-ups. I’m not a big drinker by any stretch — I peaked when I was exploring all my teenage freedom. At university, I founded the Blondes’ Cocktail Society w...

The Bermuda Triple Challenge is back, with international pros taking part and a new division for America’s Cup teams to compete. The obstacle race, which raised more than $55,000 for charity last year, has grown by leaps and bounds: participation is ...
