Born Primal Episode 5: The Fitness Explorer (Podcast)

Kendall helping her little one get some reading practice...

Listen to me being interviewed on Born Primal and the opportunity to win a copy of the book "Paleo Fitness"
"Darryl Edwards also known as The Fitness Explorer from London, is the author of the brand new book Paleo Fitness. He developed the PRIMALity methodology to inspire others to make activity truly fun while getting incredibly healthier, fitter, and stronger in the process.

In this episode of Born Primal, Darryl and I have a conversation about the importance of play for children and adults, plus the differences between Paleo in the UK versus the US."

Review: Paleo Fitness (InMySkinnyGenes.com)

"These days, it seems like anyone can just come up with a crazy, complex beat-your-body-into-submission or super-trendy-dance-inspired fitness protocol that takes an hour to do and even longer to explain.

It’s a lot harder to come up with and communicate a fitness program that’s simple, easy, and fun.

And I honestly think Darryl Edwards, aka The Fitness Explorer, has done that in his book Paleo Fitness..."

- Kaila Prins

Testimonial: Exercise with Arthritis

After eating a Paleo diet for 2 years I was enjoying a long period of remission from my Rheumatoid Arthritis for nearly a year when an unfortunate health setback left me bed ridden and in the worst state of health I had experience since the onset of my disease in 2010. It was cruel timing as I had just started taking part in structured exercise again for the first time in years.

I had a consultation with Darryl and we came up with a personalised autoimmune version of the Paleo Diet.

Just six weeks on and I was feeling well enough to take part in the Ladies Primal Play Out Session in London. I was nervous and apprehensive, having not exercised for 3 months and having spent much of that time without any activity. The nerves disappeared as soon as the fun began!

Darryl has a unique way of bringing out the child in you, the activities are fun like piggyback tag, surprisingly tough like the sprints – it’s not often we run as fast as we possibly can as adults and it feels good but Darryl wouldn’t let us move on from the sprints until we gave him a 10! I struggled with the plank due to damage in my wrists caused by my Arthritis but we modified the position and I was very happy and surprised to wake up the next morning without any inflammation or pain. Darryl, you really know your stuff!

Who knew a tough workout could be so much fun and be so in tune with your body that you don’t have to compromise your joints – Darryl’s got it spot on!
