V I TA L STATISTICS

Sleep stats:

Between six-and-a-half and eight hours – usually in bed by 10pm.

Alcohol units:

About 10 units a week (more with curry or if I’m out on a Friday night) usually lager (my favourite is Marlow Bottom brewery lager) or red wine.

Carb count:

Despite the low carb craze, I’m a fan of bread, rice and pasta – they fuel my workouts.

Caffeine quota:

About three coffees a day with milk – I love it.

Key lifestyle hack:

I make sure all my workouts, our main meals, and even what we do as a family at weekends are planned into my diary. It’s the only way I get it all done.

Fitness advice:

Use it or lose it. There is a sense that as we get older we should take it easy, but the older you get the harder you should be working to improve your fitness. If you’re starting from scratch, that simply means doing more today than you did yesterday. So, if you did 1,000 steps today, tomorrow increase it to 1,500 and then keep increasing it from there; keep challenging yourself.
