The Times teams up with personal trainer Matt Wolstenholme to get Brent fit

With Brent among the worst boroughs in London for heart disease, diabetes and obesity many residents will be looking to give their health a boost this year.

If you are struggling to fit into your favourite pair of trousers or find yourself stopping for breath as you climb a flight of stairs then help is at hand.

Kingsbury-based personal trainer extraordinaire and Guinness World Record holder Matt Wolstenholme has agreed to take on one of his toughest challenges – helping news editor Lorraine King get fit.

Our Lorraine has committed to doing a 10K run this year and Matt has just over six months to help her – and you – get in shape.

Matt, who is one of London’s most sought-after trainers, has agreed to take no prisoners with Lorraine and put her through a rigorous training regime that you at home can join in with.

Every step of the way he will be giving readers top tips, motivational words as well as writing a column offering the latest in healthy advice.

Matt will also be showing readers how they can increase their health and fitness without the use of a gym both inside and outside the home.

The first column will be in next week’s Times published on January 30.
