Tired of the gym but hoping to shed those excess Christmas pounds? This week’s first guest Lorraine Ho from Bootcamp Ireland told GTB about getting in shape military-style with their ex-army trainers to motivate you and get you moving!

Speaking of skiing and surfing, Gerry Collins, owner of The Great Outdoors on Chatham St, advised us on our winterwear during this infamous cold snap. Layering is the key, but good footwear won’t steer you wrong on these icy paths. Check out a range of their products online, and if you need any advice or assistance, Gerry and his team will kit you out in their city-centre store.
And for the hardier among us, Gerry advises wearing full-body coverage when surfing the Irish waters. (Although, you’d have to be mad…).
And if the snow returns this week, The Great Outdoors has some lovely toboggans for making the most out of it and unleashing your inner child.

Bad weather means more opportunities for hitting the cinema, yay! Ken Mooney from movie, music and games review site BurnAllZombies.com pointed us in the directions of some promising films for 2010.
Ken’s top tips include: Up in the Air, starring George Clooney, A Single Man directed by fashionista Tom Ford (and involving the folks behind Mad Men), and Shutter Island – another Martin Scorsese and Leonardo Di Caprio effort.
Ken also suggests keeping an eye out for the film adaptation of the hugely popular novel The Lovely Bones, starring our very own Oscar-nominee, Saoirse Ronan. GTB is already counting the days til Sex and the City 2 comes out. Bring it on!
