Quick Update; We've Moved!
It's been 7 years for us at the Rodley studio where DF began. And it has been a great foundation for us to help people with their fitness.
But we're ready to up our game.
... So, it's been super busy the last few months preparing the DF community for the relocation and we're just about there.
Our new address is;
Diligent Fitness, Unit 1 1912 Mill, Sunny Bank Mills, Farsley, LS28 5UJ
Looking forward to helping you improve your health & fitness at our new home in 2019 and beyond!💪

functional training just got real

Here's a frustration pretty much anyone who's ever tried to do a pull-up can relate to!
And here's how to finally make progress towards your first pull-up...
And if you're already there - what made the biggest difference to your progress?

If you do one thing today, give this hip stretch a go...
Stretching your hip flexors gives relief from discomfort AND can also improve your posture whilst providing stress relief. Here's how:

You're putting in the miles but your running times just aren't where you want them to be...

Had a blinding insight into why it's so hard to lose weight even when you're 'eating healthily'.
I'd been to M&S, picked up a sandwich and fruit salad for lunch.
Having demolished the sandwich I was just about to finish off the fruit when a tiny sticker on the front caught my eye.
... It simply said;
"Contains 4 Oranges"
Hmmm, wouldn't of thought twice about finishing the pack before I saw this.
Lesson learned - if you're trying to lose bodyfat, always check the portion size on the label. Even for healthy foods ;)

Great work to superstar Kam for organising an awesome charity workout today in aid of Candlelighters. And to all those who came along to support the cause - respect 🙌

Hmmm, perhaps a case to be made for never getting started ;)

You kinda get used to this perspective of DF after pushing the sled ;)

One of the most common challenges we hear (and sorry ladies, you’re the worst for this :) ) is busy people struggling to make time for themselves and their goals.
Especially when it comes to looking after our body with exercise (something that's hard at the best of times!).
Seems like everyone else’s agenda comes first.
... But as a result we end up feeling trapped in a body we’re just not happy with.
So, in today's post we'd like to share one small step to being more consistent with exercise.
Check out today's post here;

If you're already doing it I'm sure you're on the fast track to seeing great results.
If not, then hopefully it's a way you can start seeing some progress with your own health and fitness goals :)
