22.01.2022 #Repost @aretenutrition Training & nutrition go hand in hand. So we should approach them with the same expectations right? When it comes to progress in the gym is it fast or is it gradual? Are you increasing the weight on the bar or reps every single week? Do you go from not being able to do a single pull-up one week & then next week doing 10? Not exactly...... The realistic answer is that it takes time (plus consistent efforts). For those that have been training for years they are likely aware that it can take months to PB a lift by even the smallest jump. Same deal goes for mastering any new movement. You don’t expect to make massive jumps in terms of your training every single day/ week so why do you expect that to be the case when it comes to your nutrition. Give it the same efforts & attention. Focus on nailing the basics first - sufficient protein, sufficient carbs to fuel your body, sufficient fat to support your health. Just the same as you need to focus on your technique before putting weight on the bar in the gym. There is no quick fix to getting strong. Just like there is no quick fix to building muscle or losing fat. If you want to improve your performance, lift more weight, master a new exercise or improve your health/ reach a body composition goal you have to put in the work. Focus on the big picture

15.01.2022 What’s stopping you from working on your best self? This is Pete. He turns 70 next month. The first time he ever stepped foot in a gym (as in ever) was just under 6 months ago after his wife (who also had never been to a gym before 70 years old) tried to convince him for the whole year prior It’s not taken him long to add the few kg’s he’s lost from his belly on to his arms I mean look at that pull-up form! Pete started with a single 30 minute session a week which has ...now turned into 2 x 30 minute sessions a week. Pete reckons he’s probably get out an hour now. What do you reckon? As for anyone the movements & weight has been gradually progressed. He’s also learnt to not tell me when things are too easy. Luckily I’ve got him worked out though I reckon he’ll have some body weight pull-ups in him down the track. Pete is an inspiration to us all. He’s feeling & looking stronger & fitter by the week. He is proof that you are never too old to get started at the gym. He’s also getting so comfortable now that he requests his own music playlist when he’s in training. Hard work + lots of jokes & laughter between sets = the key to a healthier, happier life. You are a legend Pete. Keep up the good work #proudcoachmoment @shayemmasouthern

07.01.2022 GOODBYE ARETE...its time for my next chapter to be written. Life is full of crossroads and the path is forever changing. There are constant challenges, obstacles, opportunities and treats. No path is right or wrong but you must explore. Too often I have chosen the path with my mind. Thinking, analysing, worrying. Not often have I followed the path by feel alone...but when I have, its always worked out well. Now is one of those times Im making a change because it feels righ...t. I recently saw a post by @snatch_sensei where he spoke about going ALL IN. Well, its time to go ALL IN on what means so much to me and that's mindset coaching and counselling. Sharing my real and raw stories with people and helping them live more peaceful, fulfilling, happier, healthier, and loving lives. Im going ALL IN on my business of caring and helping. Its just time to leave the day to day at Arete to focus more on helping improve Mental Health. Arete 2.0 is moving into the new home which is really exciting. However its time for Richard, Jon, Shay, Stephen and Tayla to take this business to the next level. They will continue to look after you all as you have come to expect. For the first time in my life I am jumping into the world with no safety net. Everything I have feared (being alone, really following my passion, building a business on my own from scratch) are now the things bringing me the most freedom and excitement. Its made me feel I can just be me. The next chapter, will be hosting care sessions at my place in Kurrajong, in cafes, wherever I can, for anyone struggling mentally with anxiety, stress, feeling lost. Anyone who needs to talk about relationships, work, family. Even when times are good sometimes it's good to talk to stay on top of your game too. I hope to be able to help with it all. I hope to share my life stories and vulnerabilities with you all and I hope to bring value to someone and help someone not make the mistakes I have made. I wish everyone the best and thank you all for the privilege of being a small part of your lives over the last few years. I will cherish my time with you all and I hope It continues just in a different way.
