Iain Bell tells Gillian Russell about how to keep motivated and get match-fit for the winter, plus Chris O'Sullivan talks about diagnosing and managing seasonal affective disorder.

It's already getting darker earlier, there's a chill in the air and the clocks will be changing later this month ... how tempted are you to just hibernate, eat cake and ditch the fitness for a while? Health and wellness consultant Iain Bell talks to Gillian Russell about how to keep motivated with our exercise and nutrition so that we're match fit for the winter ahead.

For people who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder it can start to kick in about now so what exactly is it and how does it differ from the "winter blues"? Chris O'Sullivan from the Mental Health Foundation explains what the symptoms are and just how we can go about managing it. 

As Sober October gets underway and some people pledge to give up alcohol for a month, we'll be catching up with Martin who decided in January to give up booze for a whole year. Has he managed to stick to it?
