Ever feel like your body’s holding onto fat like it’s saving for a rainy day? You’re not alone—and no, your metabolism isn’t broken, lazy, or out to get you. In fact, it’s working all the time, even while you’re asleep, scrolling your phone, or claiming you’re “just resting your eyes” mid-Netflix. Metabolism is your body’s […]
Let’s settle this once and for all: Your abs were not designed just for beach photos. That six-pack might turn heads, but the real power of your core goes far beyond looking good in swimwear. You learned everything you needed to know about your core before you could even walk. Babies don’t do crunches. They […]
Been glued to your desk for hours? Your glutes aren’t thrilled about it. In fact, they’ve probably clocked out—overstretched, underused, and wondering if you’ve forgotten they exist. When the glutes go offline, your pelvis tilts, your spine complains, and before you know it, you’re walking around like you’re twice your age. Meanwhile, your hip flexors are living their best (shortened) life, pulling everything forward, while your abs quietly throw in the towel from neglect. But don’t worry, your backside can bounce back. Just don’t wait until you need a search party to find it.
God’s creation has a way of speaking to us—quietly, powerfully, and consistently. And here in Kenya, we are blessed with some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. The next time you feel overwhelmed, tired, or disconnected, step outside. Let the breeze hit your face. Listen to the rustling trees. Walk. Breathe. Be still.
Start with a 10-minute journaling warm-up asking yourself questions like, “What am I feeling?” and “What’s the real fear here?” (it’s probably not your landlord). Then go deep — no dodging emotions like a mkokoteni in traffic. And for that spiritual core, we’re talking prayer reps, meditation pauses, and Scripture sprints — building inner strength that’s tougher than a boda rider in rush hour.
Walk and let go of expectations. Let the road unfold beneath your feet. And who knows? Your soul might just start dancing while your body keeps walking. Skip the gym guilt, the calorie count, and the fancy gear. Just move, breathe, be. One step at a time, you’ll find your rhythm. You’ll find your peace. And who knows? You might just stumble into joy… wearing sneakers.
As a 46-year-old father, my advice to parents is this: teach your kids that strength, fitness, and vitality matter—but don’t frame it as some elite or heroic pursuit. Fitness should be as normal as brushing your teeth, not some sacred ritual that makes them superior to others.
In a world where you can get instant food, instant entertainment, instant coffee and even instant dates, waiting months to see results feels like torture. Quick fixes prey on our impatience, our frustration with slow progress, and our deep desire for an easy way out. But here’s the truth: real, lasting health isn’t found in a bottle, a crash diet, or a “miracle” program. It’s built through smart choices, discipline, and patience.
Eating was meant to be one of life’s sublime simple pleasures. But then Eve took a bite of an apple (so much for the low-calorie, low-fat, high-fibre approach), and ever since, women have been at war with food. From fad diets to calorie counting, food somehow became the enemy. But should it be?
We’ve all been there. One day, you’re hitting the gym like a beast, squatting like your life depends on it, and the next, just thinking about lifting a dumbbell feels like lifting an entire planet. Is it just fatigue, or are you burning out? Let’s find out…
