A scattering of pictures taken using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or my Canon 60D (40mm & 18mm - 200mm lenses) of my travels around the U.K and other parts of the world.
Some of the pictures I absolutely love more than others (our little secret)
This should have probably been my first video post but better late than never :)
I am not too sure how much you, my lovely readers, know about me but it is good for me to share as I am, after all, trying to be open and interact.
Here I answer a few questions which may help you understand me and my views a little better.
I answer the following questions:
Who I am,
Why I started my YouTube channel and blog,
What made me get into fitness and training,
What it is I do,
What advice I would give to my younger self,
What my favourite food is,
What was the best place I visited, and
What it is I do for fun. :)
I do hope you enjoy and please do go ahead and Subscribe to my YouTube channel and feel free to interact :)
Once upon a time... in a land far away (ok, due to the internet, everything seems close these days), there was a guy who had spectacular muscles (or so he thought).
By the grace of "Iron-Itus" (made up God of iron addicts), he worked his butt off in the gym as time went by; harder during the times of the white rain (winter) because he knew when times of the yellow sun (summer) arrived, he would be able to reap the benefits of the work he had put in and gain the envy of the less hard working mortals. :)
This is the beginning of the "Chronicles Of The Summer Sessions" in which I will be working on getting my strength back up to where it used to be (might need a ladder for this) and I am super determined to get my body in tip-top shape (don't worry, always working on getting my mind up to that level as well).
Watch the video and feel free to leave me your comments and any other feedback.

By the Power of "Iron-Itus", I declare this YouTube video safe and legit :)
When the sun comes out in London, the atmosphere can be so wonderful and chirpy and this happened to be one of those days.
Took a walk along the river passing through Camden in London after having a few drinks and a bite and I felt the joy and comfort usually associated with summer; I was in total bliss :)
Camden is renowned for it's artwork and its populus for their eccentric dress sense but in these pictures I try to show a different side to the art and beauty of Camden.
I hope you enjoy the pics and do feel free to leave comments and EXTRA positive feedback :)
I usually stay behind the camera but decided on a selfie. This is me so if you decide to use my name... "PUT SOME RESPECK ON IT" (ha ha ha ha) :)
As I am an action man... I thought it would be best if I bought myself an action camera. :)
After a bit of deliberation and watching reviews of various action cameras, I went for the GIT2 Pro Action Camera from GitUp.
Here I show the unboxing and give the reason behind why I bought the camera.
Git2 Pro Action Camera: Review/ Feedback
(lost a little quality after rendering and outputting the result)
So I took the Git2 Pro action camera with me on the Rough Runner 5km Obstacle Course and I must say it was brilliant :)
Here I speak of some of the cool features of the camera as well as what I thought of it after using it for the event.
I also give some tips and suggestions on how to make the most of the camera and some accessories I bought with it.

Signed up to the Rough Runner 5km obstacle course with five (5) friends and it was totally fun. Used the camera to film the action and I was totally blown away and impressed by the footage. I forgot to switch the camera off at times so the battery did not last and I was unable to capture some of the wonderful obstacles along the way. :(
I officially now have the "obstacle course bug" and will be looking for more courses to take part in with my mates in the near future so be on the look out for vids like this :)

Losing a parent is such a difficult thing to deal with and though the reality of life is that we all die at some point, it is still hard to cope with when it happens.
Here I try to speak out more on how I feel about losing my dad on the 2nd April, 2015 and how my family and I are still affected by it.
How I feel now; one year later
It has now been a year since his passing and though it still hurts, I have learnt a few things and made a few changes which I share here with you and hope it helps.
Please feel free to leave any comments and share with anyone you think this may help.
Still in preparation for the big day and oh boy do I feel it getting closer; putting that work in as I prepare for a 5km obstacle course in April with some of my mates.
Running and any other form of exercise is great in helping to build character and discipline in life so I recommend everyone take up some for of training.
Running in London, Running in the Park, keeping fit, staying fit, preparing for summer... nothing better than how great you feel afterwards and think of how shredded I MIGHT be by the time summer comes around. That alone is enough to have me going back out for another run.... ha ha ha ha; the vanity is real out here.
Check out the latest stage in my preparation for the course:
As usual, do leave me your feedback and or any words of encourage.

Anyway, I am not one to flake on a challenge so I accepted 😊 and now have started the gruelling training regime.
I go running twice a week, on my lunch break with work colleagues. About 4.4km running and then stopping in one of the parks and doing some core (abs and "ting") workout each day.
In the beginning it was so hard... I felt like death itself (not exaggerating obviously 🙈) but now I feel great. I was always keen on working both my body and mind but this year was not great for me and I let things get to me.
I feel a different man again and now on a fitness journey.
These are some of the results from a training session. I am improving with every run:
My diet has also been cleaned up a tad bit though not completely. (Hey, don't judge 😂).
Here are some of the things I've been eating; beetroot, spinach, eggs, etc:
Also, see my previous post for other foods I've been eating 😋😋: View Post
I'll definitely be going hard and posting more fitness related stuff.
