About Motley Health

MotleyHealth.com is essentially a guide to using an assortment of methods and advice to help lose weight and get fit. Whether it is “old school”, ancient Eastern philosophy, Celebrity fitness workouts, fad diets or even 1980’s aerobics, it really does not matter how you get into shape. The important thing is to have the information to empower yourself to take action.

Motley Health likes to take a more relaxed approach to personal health and fitness. We take the meaning of Motley as that of a “varied mixture” which represents the diverse information on health and fitness on this site, and also the diverse range of people that read and contribute to the site. We believe that health and fitness needs to be brought down to earth a little.

There is too much snobbery and pseudo-science claptrap when it comes to health and fitness. People get confused, and start to believe that they need to go on a North Coast Diet Plan and do Kung-fu-lattes to get fit and healthy. Just some simple advice and a little encouragement is all the is required.

Everyone is unique, and we should all strive to do whatever we can to improve our health and fitness. Eat some fruit, climb a mountain. That will work just as well as a fad diet and an hour a day in a aqua-Pilates class.

We are continuing to research more celebrity workouts and diet plans, as well as enhance the weight training, fitness and weight loss sections of the site. New additions are the Eastern Health and Fitness sections, which focuses on yoga. This year we have launched out Health and Fitness Business directory pages, which offer both premium and free listings to American and British businesses.

Unfortunately some people think of “Motley” as being a negative word, however, we believe in embracing diversity, learning from different people, and taking all the best little bits from every school of thought to ensure that we achieve our health and fitness goals.

Meaning of Motley:

1. Exhibiting great diversity of elements; heterogeneous: a motley crowd. Take a look at any gym class, or road race, or athletic event. Participants are as varied as anywhere!

2. Being of different colours combined. Take a look at healthy eating advice – more colours, more health!

3. Wearing a parti-coloured garment: a motley fool. Take a look at your gym clothes. You may even have reflective clothing for road running at night. You fool!

4. A heterogeneous assemblage. We are certainly all different here!

What we are trying to make clear, is that you do what works for you, what you enjoy, what comes easy, and whatever is accessible to get you fit and healthy. Being fit and healthy need not cost you a penny (or any other unit of currency). Don’t eat unhealthy food (unhealthy food is often more expensive, contrary to popular belief. Take a look at the price of onions and carrots for example, and compare that to burgers, chips and fizzy drinks). Do some exercise. Anything. Got arms? Do press ups. Got legs? Walk. Got strong legs? Run. It is that simple. No excuses, not for anyone. Get out there, and as Nike say, Just Do It!
