Following on from my previous episode, I look at five additional signs / symptoms you are unfit.

As before, if any resonate with you, or someone you know, it might help to address the particular sign and discuss it with your physician or therapist of choice. Always seek a professional opinion prior to taking steps to reduce or eventually stop the issue concerned.

Thanks for listening.

In this short discussion, we look at easily identifiable signs your are unfit or lacking in the fundamental aspects of physical fitness.

The five I've chosen are likely not the first things that spring to mind for those listening here, but please take into account, as a professional personal trainer, I see and hear of the five listed on a regular basis.

Should you experience one or more of the signs, my suggestion is to address the issue sooner rather than later and hopefully rectify the issue in question.

Good luck and stay healthy

During a 4 week break from my channel, I travelled across China with two of my friends on a health conscious trip from Hong Kong to the Hunan Province, finally finishing in Shanghai.

Whilst away I used the hotel gyms and swimming pools to maintain strength and cardiovascular fitness.

Targeting multi joint movements, from front squats and pull ups to reverse lunges and incline chest press, my workouts were kept short on time, approximately 45 minutes maximum, including warm up, ensuring I stayed focused and ready for the days out exploring China.

Whilst travelling it's essential to fuel my body with healthy calories, especially in the morning, allowing for constant energy throughout long, hot and active days. Breakfast consisted of three dishes, including oats, fruit, eggs, sweet potatoes, yoghurts and nuts/seeds,

During the day, as my friends and I were exploring, we had to agree on what to eat for lunch, which usually was a mix of Chinese home grown dishes, ranging from meats and vegetables to dim sum and rice.

Evening meals were similar to lunch, with the odd desert, as we were on a holiday after all.

As for alcohol, I had 1 beer in each of the three locations, which was essentially a treat, rather than the traditional English man abroad bingeing sessions.

Whilst in the mountainous region of Hunan, we walked up and down thousands of steps and embarked on a climbing excursion, requiring strength, flexibility, mobility and agility.

Finally I had three deep tissue massages to help recover from fatigue and repetitive strain to knees and feet. Add to this an impromptu visit to an ear doctor to have my ears cleaned out, as I experienced uncomfortable / painful ear compressions during one of the internal flights.

Upon the 15 hour non stop flight home, I walked the length of the plane at least four times, with regular joint movements and stretches, increasing blood flow and digestion.

That's it....my healthy travels to China in a nutshell, so remember to do likewise on your next overseas trip folks.

Healthy travel to all
