“Green” exercise quickly boosts mental health
Thursday, May 6th, 2010Just five minutes of exercise in a “green space” such as a park can boost mental health, researchers claim.
There is growing evidence that combining activities such as walking or cycling with nature boosts well-being.
In the latest analysis, UK researchers looked at evidence from 1,250 people in 10 studies and found fast improvements in mood and [...]
A weekend of the arts
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010I returned home yesterday after the most amazing few days indulging in the arts.
Now, for some of you who know me from old, you may think “the arts” means being a piss artist. I used to be able to drink for England, that’s for sure, however I knocked this on the head a few months ago, so it’s [...]

If you need any fitness or fighting equipment [...]
My passport to the future
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010I picked up my British Combat Association grading and record book yesterday.
This marks the beginning of a journey along a very different path to that which I have travelled for many years.
And as Al Peasland, from Complete Self Protection, who issued me with the record book said, “this little book can be a passport to [...]
No pain no gain
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010I was talking with someone earlier today about the self protection class I attended last night. I was explaining that the classes are tough and designed to stretch us as we learn new skills.
Last night we focussed on kicking. I picked up a few bruises, a little bit of lower back discomfort and shredded the skin off [...]
