25.01.2022 Then, and only then, will you be successful Have you ever had an asthma attack before? If you’ve ever had an asthma attack before then you know about S.O.B, shortness of breathe - you’re wheezing - and the only thing you’re trying to do is get some air. You don’t care about a sports game - you don’t care about what’s on TV - you don’t care who’s calling you - you don’t care about going to a party - the only thing you care about when you’re trying to breathe is to get some f...resh air And when you get to that point - where all you want to do is be successful, as bad as you want to breathe - then you will be successful #Fitness #Health #Success #Motivation #Inspiration See more

25.01.2022 Plyometric Training is a great way to compliment your strengh program and develop power, speed & athleticism. Unfortunately, when people think of plyometrics they think about how high, or how far they can jump. True plyometrics refers to both the ability jump, and the ability to land safely. By enhancing your ability to land softly will in turn enhance your potential to become more athletic. Youll also decrease your chances of injury - youll teach your body to absorb fo...rces with your muscles, and not your joints! When we think of athleticism we think of a persons ability to stop, start & change direction, and not necessarily their ability to output huge amounts of power without control. So the next time youre programming plyometrics into your sessions, remember to focus on the fundamentals of both jumping with power, and landing with stability See more

25.01.2022 LETS TALK RECOVERY How many people actually prioritise their recovery? I think we live in a world where we are obsessed with hard work, and longevity isnt in the forefront of our minds. You might think that youre not an athlete, so why do I need as much recovery? If you treat yourself like an athlete, youre much more likely to perform like one! -... Recovery doesnt mean you have to stop. It doesnt mean you have to lock yourself inside for 24 hours. There are many forms of recovery: Complete Rest Active Recovery (light exercise) Trigger Ball Therapy / Foam Rollng Post Exercise Stretching Massage Therapy Cold Water Immersion Heat Therapy - There are an abundance of options and its about prioritising the ones that fit in with your lifestyle, and what you actually enjoy. By placing an importance on your recovery youll undoubtably physically perform better, prevent overuse injuries, repair & recover muscle tissues, relieve stress, and improve your mental state! - Whats your favourite recovery technique?

24.01.2022 By some extraordinary quirk of luck, I managed to end up in Calum’s client list for personal training. I was looking for some help to build my stability and fitness- I had the feeling that my knees might not go the distance. After just 8 weeks Calum has proven that with clever attention to the parts that (allegedly) wear out as you get older you can defy the odds. In the 8 weeks I’ve gone from dodgy knees and unattractive squatting to cycling up Mt Buffalo in Victoria without a break (trust me, that’s hard!). Calum is a very smart PT. He is attentive and knowledgeable and with every session I feel like I get stronger and fitter. His enthusiasm is contagiousI can’t wait for the next set of challenges! - Leanne G.

24.01.2022 If you’re looking for your Motivation Monday, then here it is! A long one, but well worth the read get up, and get into it this week! - - - 6am and your hand can’t make it to the alarm clock before the voices in your head start telling you that it’s too early, too dark, and too cold to get out of a bed. Aching muscles lie still in rebellion, pretending not to hear your brain commanding them to move A legion of voices are shouting their unanimous permission for you to hit t...he snooze button and go back to dreamland, but you didn’t ask their opinion. The voice you’ve chosen to listen to is one of defiance. A voice that’s says there was a reason you set that alarm in the first place. So sit up, put your feet on the floor, and don’t look back because we’ve got work to do. You’re in a fight against an opponent you can’t see Oh but you can feel him on your heels can’t you? Feel him breathing down your neck You know what that is? That’s you Your fears, your doubts and insecurities all lined up like a firing squad ready to shoot you out of the sky. You’re a lion in a field of lions All hunting the same elusive prey with a desperate starvation that says VICTORY is the only thing that can keep you alive So believe that voice that says you CAN run a little faster and that you CAN throw a little harder and that you CAN dive a little deeper and that, for you, the laws of physics are merely a suggestion. So rise and shine. Luck is the last dying wish of those who want to believe that winning can happen by accident. Sweat on the other hand is for those who know it’s a choice. #MotivationMonday #Motivation #RiseAndGrind #Fitness #Health #GetFit #WeightLoss See more

24.01.2022 Does your strength & conditioning program compliment your sport specific training? If not, then stop what youre doing and make some changes! Your strength training is designed to make you perform better, not worse, and thats why its important to tailor it to your specific sport or event By reinforcing body positions under a different stimulus you allow your body to make positive physiological adaptations that youre more likely to carry over to your performance event, a...s opposed to training generic non-specific strength exercises. The cable pullover is a great utility for swimmers as it emulates the underwater pull for butterfliers & freestylers. By performing it in the deadbug/cockroach position youre forced to engage your core muscles, much like you should be when youre in the water Use a light weight and focus on retracting your scapula, pulling your belly button into your spine, and controlling the cables from the very top to the bottom of the movement See more

24.01.2022 I absolutely love what I do. I love what I do because it enables me to see other people achieve their goals. I love what I do because it enables me to help people who may not be able to help themselves. I love what I do because of the smiles I get to see after someone does something they thought they couldn’t do. And I love what I do because I get to help people find something they thought they never would ... - If you have something you want to achieve, don’t do it alone. If you are unsure, ask questions. If you are lost, ask for directions. If you are afraid, seek guidance. I do what I do to help others, and I’d love to be able to help you too. See more

22.01.2022 BOOKMARK THIS EXERCISE! The standing dumbbell shoulder press is one that seems to get lost in the gym - we see plenty of people loading up the bar for a heavy press - but we don’t see a lot of standing with dumbbells Next time you go to do your shoulder press drop the weight down and get up on your feet - here’s why! Switching to dumbbells ensures that you can develop your strength & size evenly, without a skewed weight distribution on a bar. You’re able to move you...r arms and shoulders in more of a free space - you’re not limited to a single plane movement and enable your shoulder to move in a more comfortable way. By standing, your body is forced to switch on your internal core - you cannot lift anything above your head without first being stable through your torso (use light weights!) - - - Next time you’re in the gym, drop the weights and try the overhead standing press - just remember to focus on the movement as opposed to how heavy you lift make sure you’re moving to improve your body, not your ego @enewtzz + @georgia_newton22 #Fitness #Health #Shoulders #Wod #GetFit See more

21.01.2022 BOOKMARK THESE EXERCISES! 1 This might look like your ordinary lateral raise but by adding the cable element, as well as starting & finishing the exercise behind the back you’re able to apply constant tension to your medial delt without straining your anterior delt 2 The rear delt cable raise is another good one to apply constant tension to the posterior delt, as well as providing more stability than using dumbbells for your rear delt raise TIP: Use light weight and focus on the muscle contraction and ‘squeezing’ your medial & rear delts for a nice burn Thanks @gladiator679 for being my demo model!

21.01.2022 4 Moves For Faster Butterfly! Butterfly can be a difficult enough stroke as it is, but if you’re looking to improve then these four exercises are your dry-land go to moves! 1. Prone Cable Fly enables you to focus on shoulder stability as well as develop symmetrical power through the length of the stroke. It also ensures full control over a longer & fuller stroke.... 2. Supine Cable Fly, much similar to the prone fly is a stroke development movement, but with the added difficulty of core activation & stability. By raising your hips and legs you are able to create a space where your stroke has to be engaged with your core to enable a complete & smooth stroke. 3. Wide Grip Pull-ups help develop overall upper body strength for flyers. Try to emulate the same body position you would have in the water (legs extended) and focus on setting your scapula prior to performing the pull-up. 4. Dead Ball Slams are great for explosive power. Think about the top of your fly stroke when performing the slams, and creating torque through the movement. Keep the ball light (3-6kg) to ensure you can perform the slam with power and fluidity. Incorporate these 4 movements into your dry land program and see the results in the pool!

21.01.2022 The number one thing that scares the shit out of me is REGRET. And you’re gonna sit there at 72, and you say I wish, I wish, I wish. And whether that’s money, or spending more time with your family - there are a million ways to do this. You’ve got to start saying YES to your life. You’ve got to start saying YES to your dreams.... How many times have you thought there was something you would love to do, or achieve, and you have talked yourself out of it? Stop telling yourself no. Stop telling yourself that you can’t. You are your biggest limitation and it’s time to understand that your fear will kill more of your dreams than failure will. Pick up your feet, and tell yourself that you can. That’s where it starts. Change your state. #Motivation #Inspiration #Fitness #Health #Love #Happiness #Sydney #FitnessFirst #CalTimmsPT See more

21.01.2022 Banded planks are a great way to increase difficulty without increasing physical load Youll be forced to brace your core & maintain a much more stable body position while the gravity of the band tries to pull you to the floor Next time you want to add weight to your planks, grab a band instead!

20.01.2022 The single arm dumbbell row is a great beginners horizontal pulling movement It’s a good stepping stone if you’re not yet comfortable with ring rows too! Start with your feet just outside shoulder-width with your knees over your toes Place your hand on a bench in front and focus on creating a straight line from your neck to hips Focus on setting your scapula down into your hips, and row with a emphasis on pulling your elbow to your hip ...

18.01.2022 THE BEST UPPER BODY EXERCISE! To me, chin-ups are the absolute best bang for buck upper body movement that’s available to us They’re scalable in the sense that they can be regressed & progressed to decrease or increase difficulty - if there’s only one exercise I could do for the rest of my life, THIS WOULD BE IT ... Don’t be afraid of the chin up bar - I know it can be intimidating at first, but start where you’re comfortable. Most gyms now have an assisted chin-up machine, and they’re a great place to begin. A resistance band is also an amazing way to reap the benefits without having to take the whole load of your body The key is practice, and consistency #instafit #progress #gymlife #shredded #cardio #aesthetics #fitnessaddict #fitspiration

10.01.2022 BOOKMARK THIS EXERCISE The barbell hip thrust has to be one of the most under-utilised movements available. Thinking about your glutes as the engine in your car - without strong functional glutes we are limited in how much power we can output. I bet you’ve never seen a sprinter or linebacker with small glutes? So you’re probably thinking, why should I hip thrust? Here’s 4 good reasons why:... Improve the size, strength and physical appearance of your glutes Increase power output, speed & acceleration Improve squat & deadlift performance Improve entire body function - the glutes influence lower back, pelvic & hip, knee & ankle mechanics On your next session try this exercise! Remember to start light and ensure that you’re recruiting the right muscles - and SQUEEEEEZE THAT BUTT! #Fitness #Glutes #FunctionalMovement #PersonalTraining #Strength #StrengthAndConditioning #Power #Health See more

You might think that you’re not an athlete, so why do I need as much recovery? If you treat yourself like an athlete, you’re much more likely to perform like one! -... Recovery doesn’t mean you have to stop. It doesn’t mean you have to lock yourself inside for 24 hours. There are many forms of recovery: Complete Rest Active Recovery (light exercise) Trigger Ball Therapy / Foam Rollng Post Exercise Stretching Massage Therapy Cold Water Immersion Heat Therapy - There are an abundance of options and it’s about prioritising the ones that fit in with your lifestyle, and what you actually enjoy.

08.01.2022 When enough is enough! Take control, and do you.

08.01.2022 I am always incredibly proud of my clients and all of their achievements. But today, I am especially proud of this person - @kimzel84 ! I’m not proud because she’s lost 13kg I’m not proud because she finished my Christmas Challenge And I’m not proud because she ran a kilometre today when it previously might have felt impossible ... I’m proud because of the WAY she achieved all of these things I’m proud because like many of us, she’s got stuff going on. She’s got plenty of opportunity to find an excuse not to do it, but every week, every session she gives me 100% , no excuses - without fail. It’s easy to be successful when circumstances are playing to your strengths - when you don’t have to worry about travel, or finances, or anything else that might potentially stand in your way. But it takes a real personal tenacity and grit to find a way when everyone and everything else is telling you NO. @kimzel84 you’ve shown all the strengths and character of a winner this year and you’ll end 2017 having achieved great things Let’s carry it into the new year with new goals and new aspirations bring on 2018! #Fitness #Health #GetFit #GetHealthy #PersonalTraining #PersonalTrainer See more

07.01.2022 Athleticism > Aesthetic. Function > Physique. Benefit > Bodybuilding. Sounds simple, right? You've been busting you arse in the gym for weeks now. You've been following the latest keto diet that your favourite Instagrammer swears by. And you've been copying that same Instagrammers training program because you know if you remain dedicated, then you too look just like your favourite Instagrammer. Right? WRONG.... http://caltimmspt.com//why-is-your-training-making-you-fe/ See more

07.01.2022 Do you ever feel lower back pain, knee pain, or shoulder pain when trying to barbell back squat? Ditch the bar, and save your spine! Theres a compressive force on a your spine with a loaded bar & if you arent moving well then it can lead to damage Its not always your fault! Some body mechanics can cause restrictions and make it difficult to get into a safe position - if this is the case then grab a bench & a couple of kettlebells instead - - -...

07.01.2022 Your excuses - they’re not real. They’re fabricated in your mind to make you believe that not being your best is okay You have the talent. You have the time. Now find your drive....

07.01.2022 Here’s your #MotivationMonday ! Tag someone who needs to see this! Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute, or an hour, or a day, or even a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever..

07.01.2022 SPEED TRAINING Training for speed is a tricky one - there’s a tendency to believe that you either have fast twitch or slow twitch fibres, so why train the ones you don’t have? Emma is predominately slow twitch, but it doesn’t stop us from training her anaerobic system with some short sprints & bursts of speed Don’t neglect something because you consider it a weakness - you may not be able to change your genetic make-up, but you can certainly develop skills to make you more powerful & explosive! #SportsPerformance #Swimmer #Athlete #StrengthAndConditioning #Progress

06.01.2022 Your training isnt meant to inhibit you. Its meant to empower you. Its meant to build you up, not break you down. You should always walk out of the gym feeling better than when you walked in. And it should always make you feel like you can take on anything that crosses your path....

06.01.2022 No Lat Pulldown? No problem! If theres lat pulldown machine available then swap it out for a seated neutral grip pulldown Youll also get the added benefit of using cable handles instead of a bar! Using cables enables your body to move in a more natural way rather than be limited by the rigidity of the bar! By being seated without thigh padding youll also be forced to engage you core to maintain balance & body position!

05.01.2022 By some extraordinary quirk of luck, I managed to end up in Calums client list for personal training. I was looking for some help to build my stability and fitness- I had the feeling that my knees might not go the distance. After just 8 weeks Calum has proven that with clever attention to the parts that (allegedly) wear out as you get older you can defy the odds. In the 8 weeks Ive gone from dodgy knees and unattractive squatting to cycling up Mt Buffalo in Victoria without a break (trust me, thats hard!). Calum is a very smart PT. He is attentive and knowledgeable and with every session I feel like I get stronger and fitter. His enthusiasm is contagiousI cant wait for the next set of challenges! - Leanne G.

05.01.2022 Training & coaching isn’t about forcing someone to become better It’s about giving a person the tools to make progress themselves You can yell, and scream, and hope that your message is relayed, or you can work together to ensure you’re both working toward a common goal Be an educator, not a dictator

05.01.2022 I have the best clients in the world! Here are some of you who have completed the 12 Pains Of Christmas Challenge, and you somehow all still have smiles on your face! You guys are amazing! #Fitness #Health #FitnessChallenge #ChristmasChallenge #FitnessFirstSylvania #GetFit #WeightLoss

04.01.2022 I cant tell you how many people I talk to who say they dont deadlift because of back pain, hip pain, & other pains. To be honest, Ive been one of them! But there are plenty of pain-free ways to deadlift, and my favourite of them is the Landmine Romanian Deadlift The natural arc of the landmine setup allows you to adequately hip-hinge without overloading the lower back, and really brings your hamstrings to work! give it a try!

04.01.2022 TRY THIS CORE EXERCISE! The hollow body landmind twist is an advanced core movement that will really test your stability & control Remember: * Keep your core tight & rigid with minimal sway... * Ensure your legs remain straight & elevated * Keep your chest proud and neutral spine The further back you lean with your chest the more difficult the movement becomes - start with your feet on the floor and progress your way up to legs elevated & increasing the angle of your upper body to your hips

03.01.2022 No Lat Pulldown? No problem! If there’s lat pulldown machine available then swap it out for a seated neutral grip pulldown You’ll also get the added benefit of using cable handles instead of a bar! Using cables enables your body to move in a more natural way rather than be limited by the rigidity of the bar! By being seated without thigh padding you’ll also be forced to engage you core to maintain balance & body position!

02.01.2022 The man who sees the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life. The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.

01.01.2022 #TheThrustIsAMust ! If you’re not hip thrusting, it’s time that you start I’ve posted about this before but I’m adamant that this is an exercise that reaps rewards far beyond the majority of lower body exercises - Superior glute activation in comparison to both squats & deadlifts... Increase power, speed & acceleration Improve lower back, pelvic, knee & ankle mechanics And for the ladies - it improves the size & physical appearance of the butt! - Make sure these are in your next leg workout! @bretcontreras1 - Let You Down (ft.
