23.01.2022 You either love them or hate them but if your goal is better movement and performance then lunges MUST be part of your regime. If you're training for sports then pretty much every sport requires unilateral (1 leg) Performance more than bilateral. If you're just here to look sexy and move better unilateral is much more important than how much you can load onto a bar.

23.01.2022 If you have a handstand then the progression is obviously building HandStand PushUps. A prerequisite should be a strong, Handstand hold for about 60sec. From there it's all about scaling the movement and using progressive overload, similar to adding weight to a barbell.. only with Bodyweight we scale the leverage (range of motion in this case)

21.01.2022 Rings, a bar or suspension trainer mean you can optimally train your whole body with bodyweight alone. Without them it's very hard to train your back... BUT they can be used for so much more than just back training.

21.01.2022 Short on time but have a pair of DBs? You don't need big long workouts to make progress, sometimes you just need one exercise that hits the whole body.. Do 10-15mins of quality work and call it a day.

21.01.2022 Are you frustrated that you have gained weight during lockdown? These 2 simple habits can get you back on track with your eating.

18.01.2022 More Muscle Equals More Fat Loss When you're trying to improve how you look it's pretty common to do lots of cardio and skip the weight training. But wei...ghts make the process so much more effective. Creating active tissue (Muscle) that Burns more calories while you rest. Plus it has a multitude of other benefits. Improve Bone density Look better with or without clothes Better joint health Harder To Kill This is even more important as we get a little older as retaining muscle is one of the things that's correlated with improved health.

18.01.2022 LEPTIN The Simplified Version This is the hunger master Hormone. When people think about fat loss and dieting, especially in Low carb circles, they automatically think about INSULIN but in reality insulin doesn't have that much of an impact on what "causes" you to gain weight.... Leptin However is directly responsible as it tells your body when you should and shouldn't need food. It is directly related to how much FAT you have on your body and its job is to regulate bodyweight to keep you optimally healthy. In an ideal world if you were too skinny leptin would be high, making you hungry and causing you to eat more to gain adequate levels of Bodyfat. The same should also happen in reverse, if you were holding more fat than necessary your levels should be higher and you shouldn't be receiving hunger signals too often. But our modern world has created a situation where our foods are nutrient poor and energy dense. So all of our bodies signalling gets disrupted. Overweight people are quite often still malnourished, we gain fat rapidly, leptin levels increase in direct response to our weight gain and we become resistant to it. So we stop receiving signals from our body that we aren't hungry. So you can probably see the problem? The areas of the body demanding Nutrients keep telling us we haven't nourished it. WE KEEP EATING Our body stops responding to Leptin. WE KEEP EATING We Get fatter leptin levels get higher our bodies energy demands increase... WE KEEP EATING. This is the primary reason that tracking your food intake is so important to start with. Because our body is no longer any good at "eating Intuitively" Even when we switch to Keto many people have issues with hunger regulation and for weight this is a much bigger issue than anything to do with insulin. So even if your plan isn't to track for the rest of your life it is an important part of getting yourself on track and teaching your body HOW MUCH it should be eating.

16.01.2022 Sharing a great Performance based session today. This could be put at the end of a leg strength Session with a medium Bell to build conditioning and endurance. Could also be done with a heavier weight in the middle of the session for a more strength/ power focus. It all comes down to the goal. It's more than just getting sweaty, train with purpose.

15.01.2022 Become the Best Posibble You

14.01.2022 6pm Tonight on ZOOM for the Webinar on HOW MUCH TO EAT Zoom link is here:- https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81304601546... There will be lots of chances to ask questions as we go through.

12.01.2022 What matters Most when you're over 40? As we get older we like to keep doing the activities we enjoy. However we do need to make some adjustments, so wh...at really matters MOST to keep us fit, strong and healthy? Might surprise you?

11.01.2022 We are starting now, when we can see the light.. don't wait. Lose the COVID tyre now https://www.facebook.com/1511001879164543/posts/2595643614033692/

10.01.2022 The warm up is so important, especially as we get older... BUT even if you aren't as old as me, build this habit to avoid Injury and perform optimally. Here I demonstrate a general warm up to be done before ALL sessions. It takes about 3-5mins. After this you would do "specific" warms ups for the coming movements.

06.01.2022 BOOTY BUILDERS These two Kettlebell movements are the perfect combo to build muscle in the whole body as they recruit so many muscles. But with particular focus... on the muscles of the bum and legs. Many women come to me asking how best to develop this area and anyone that is playing a sport that involves any running and explosive movement needs to develop these muscles. It's funny how Performance and Aesthetics can both be achieved if trained properly

05.01.2022 FAVOURITE THREE Each day this week I'm going to share my favourite 3 movements for various areas of the body or Various goal. Today being international Chest D...ay.. I figured we'd go over chest. If you find these useful it would be awesome if you shared them around or tagged people in the comments.

04.01.2022 PROTEIN When we look over the success of pretty much every dietary study the importance of proetin is a key factor in their success. When diets have the same calorie intake and protein amounts then the results are pretty much consistent, regardless of the composition of the rest of the diet.... So in simple terms if your Calories are 2000 for a day and 500 of those calories were protein, It wouldn't matter all that much how you spread the other 1500 between carbs and fats... You would achieve very simiar results. Humans have a "need" to meet certain levels of Vitamins, nutrients and minerals and Protein requirements (or at least the amino acids that protein breaks down too) are of highest priority. We also have certain needs for Fats, Sodium and Calcium and whilst we don't have need of Ingested carbs we have a requirement to maintain Blood Glucose levels. So when we are hungry our body is telling us we need either Energy or Nutrients. High protein foods are usually rich in both in their natural forms...Red Meat for example has just pretty much everything a human needs to survive for really long periods. The problem with our modern diet though is that most of the highly convenient foods we eat are High in energy, Fat and Carbs, but devoid of nutrients. They are also a mixture of these energy sources that are not naturally created. Like Seed oils, Vegetable oils and highly processed grains and sugar type compounds. One of the more recent theories around how we naturally regulate our intake is based around Protein. We have a protein requirement that must be met when we eat and we will keep eating until we meet that protein target. But most of our modern foods are pretty devoid of adequate protein which could be a solid reason behind modern over eating? The simple premise here is to base each meal around a whole food protein source. Ideally your whole meal would be whole real food, but we know we won't be perfect so we focus on the foundation. Then be sure to adjust energy food on the plate to equate for how active you are. Hopefully this helps get a little perspective on how to take control of your diet?
