Virgin Active – Guinness World Record was broken on Monday December 5, 2011. At exactly 6pm GMT, and globally across 255 Virgin Active gyms, packed spin classes (v-cycle) started to turn those pedals non-stop for 15 minutes to raise money for Sparks children’s charity.

Raising money for Sparks, the charity that funds pioneering medical research into heart defects in babies was an honour for me. I was proud to be a part of it. Well done to all those who took part.

Welcome to Petefitness. Here we will hope to answer all your questions around fitness and training, such as…

This summer we are running a series of fitness boot camps in Kent. For more details on the boot camp page here...

I have just released the dates for the August Boot camp.

3rd – 27th August 2009. Every Monday and Thursday.

This summer’s Boot Camp is well under way.
If you’re looking to tone up, lose weight, improve your aerobic fitness, strength, stamina, endurance, energy levels plus look and feel better than ever before then you’ve come to the right place. At Pete’s Boot Camp you will recieve all of this guaranteed!

Boot camp workouts are efficient because you work your entire body– heart and muscles, by going from one exercise to another with no rest. The workouts involve calisthenics like pushups, jumping jacks, crunches and other body weight exercises…the difference lies in the intensity. In boot camp, your challenge is to take your body to its limit. You work, you sweat and, best of all, you burn calories like crazy.

Boot Camp workout exercise in Kent

30 minutes to fitness.
Ladies going on holiday? Want  to tone and tighten your legs and bum?
Just 30 minutes brisk walking or gentle jogging followed by some
squats and lunges will do the trick. Make a plan to take 30 minutes out of 24 HOURS to change the way you look and feel.

Bonus tip, try not to eat any carbohydrates after 6pm (CARB CURFEW) for a week. That means no rice, pasta, bread or potatoes replace them with plenty of vegetables. Try this for a week and you’ll notice the difference and if possible stick  to it.
NCT= no chocolate Tuesdays. If you’re partial to be a bit of chocolate everyday, then set yourself one day a week when you don’t eat any at all.  NCT is a good way start, let me know how you get on. pete@petefitness.com

Have you tried the latest craze. Boot Camp!

Well I know I do run them so you may say I’m biased but I have to say that I have noticed a difference in my personal fitness levels as well as my clothes fitting me better as I have dropped some pounds and become more toned. This is mainly from demonstrating the exercises, running around checking the participants technique and doing all the exercises with them in what I call the main arena. This is where I get everyone together and we do abs, mountain climbers, spider man, press up and shuttle lunges to name but a few. So can you imagine the benefits of doing a Boot Camp twice a week for an hour!
