There are two ways to approach your first marathon: the smart way and the hard way. Six years ago, personal trainer James Stirling—better known as London Fitness Guy—chose the hard way. “When I trained—or, more accurately, didn't train as well as I should have—for the London Marathon in 2019 that’s when I first suffered with knee pain,” he tells Fit&Well. “For me, it has always been a case of overuse and I think that is the most common cause of knee pain.

Forget pace, cadence, training load and, to a degree, even distance.

First encounters with exercise rarely result in love at first sight. And never has that been more true than for Korey Rowe, the new star trainer on Chris Hemsworth’s fitness app Centr.

For all the one-minute-abs routines and muscle-zapping electromagnetic (EMS) classes I've tried, there is one bodyweight routine that I've always stuck with for core strength. I first started using this workout in my late teens, and it's still doing the trick for me and my clients more than two decades later.

When my son Joshua was born, my life was tipped upside down. All routine went out the window. Work stopped. Socializing was put on pause. Suddenly exercise, and indeed sleep, took a backseat. Months passed, and gradually my wife and I acclimatized to the running-around-with-your-hair-on-fire lifestyle of new parents.
