I have always been relatively fit and pretty active but as I hit forty I started to notice that I was progressively becoming overweight and physically weaker. I realized that I had to make a greater effort to maintain my weight and to regain my strength. I made numerous attempts at getting back into shape ...

“In my twenties, I was relatively slim and physically active but by my thirties, I had become a busy, working mum to 3 children. Sound familiar? I didn’t have time to exercise – or so I thought. By forty, I finally admitted I was using my time-poor lifestyle as an excuse. I made myself get ...

I started working out with DNA in mid winter 2014. Day one I couldn’t do a push-up, a burpee or run any distance without loosing my breath.  By Xmas 2014 I am as fit as I have ever been, feeling super strong and getting back to a shape that makes me feel great about being ...
