TV builder and MMA fanatic, Pete Finn who joined the show described an unhealthy diet as putting petrol in a diesel engine. “It’s not gonna work. You need to fuel your body… We have to eat on the go but you can go for healthy options,” he said. He also recommended cardio workout, jujitsu or football which gives you energy for the job.

Host of The Plumbing & Heating show on Fix Radio, Andy Cam also messaged in with advice to do some running as they help keep knees and back subtle. Two crucial parts for the trade.
