24.01.2022 . SPINAL FLOW Here’s a few full body movements for you to try that incorporate varying degrees of flexion, extension, and rotation. A few of the yoga-inspired moves here are the cat cow, puppy pose, downward dog, and camel pose. I don’t need to tell you that our spine is SO SO important, and for that reason, we need to show it the love it truly deserves.... Remember to save this video (the little bookmark/ribbon symbol) if you find it helpful. And please, if any of these positions/movements cause discomfort or pain, then you should stop, immediately! Have a splendid weekend, and love you spine.

24.01.2022 . CHASING WATERFALLS Rest. Recharge. With everything going on this year, my partner and I realised we hadn’t taken a holiday since August last year. So, we’ve taken a much needed break in Cairns to be in nature and see her family.... Cairns is so damn beautiful, and if you’re in QLD, you need to make your way up here. You’ll find plenty of swimming spots within pristine rainforest and an abundance of waterfalls. It’s great for the soul, and gives you a chance to work on your modeling skills If you’re interested in personal training with Keen Physique to build strength, reduce body fat, increase lean muscle or improve your calisthenics ability, feel free to contact me. #cairns #visitqueensland #queensland #fnq #australia #rainforest #waterfalls #behanagorge #rest #recharge #holiday #wanderlust #pose #model #personaltrainer #healthandfitness #brisbanehealth #brisbanefitness #brisbanevegans #exercise #training #calisthenics #gym #healthy #vegan #qldfit #fitfam #plantbased #plantpower

24.01.2022 . BENCH PRESS TESTING It’s interesting, yet not surprising, that people’s judgements of what I do physically can be formed solely from what I post to Instagram. I tend to prioritise bodyweight training and skills in my feed, yet weights and ‘conventional’ strength/hypertrophy training probably makes up 30-40% of my training. Having said that, I haven’t bench pressed since 11th of March, and a lot of my chest work has come from bodyweight/calisthenics and dumbbell movements.... This week I got curious, and decided to do some testing. I was actually ecstatic with 80x3, 90x3, 100x2, and 110x1. I think I’ll incorporate bench press into my routine again... Who else loves bench pressing?!

23.01.2022 . MORE THAN ONE INVERSION In the world of inversions, handstands don't roam alone; it walks with its siblings like the crow and crane. Here, I'm performing a crane, which differs to the slightly easier crow where arms are bent. The advantage to regressing to simpler inversions is that you get to spend more time upside down while having some assistance, allowing you to improve on your hand balance.... Sometimes taking a step back allows you to progress. You also get more familiar with the feeling of blood rushing to your head and having your eyes bulge out of your skull (jokes, this doesn't really happy...much) Hey. Also. This photo was taken by the beautiful @moniquesharaya in Meteora (Greece) on our last European holiday in 2019. On this trip, we also visited the UK, Italy, and Albania. Gosh darn I miss travel. When all this shit blows over, where are you going to go? Comment below.

22.01.2022 . DIVERSIFICATION As I state in the video, I have not studied dietetics, therefore I do not carelessly provide nutritional advice or give meal plans to my clients. I strongly believe that PT’s should work within their scope i.e. physical training, UNLESS they have necessary qualifications. All I’m saying in this video is that greater food diversity = a greater nutrient profile.... If you’re wanting professional nutritional advice and/or meal plans, please get in touch with the incredible team at @plantbasedwellness @theplantbased_dietitian @plantstrong_dietitian If you’re interested in personal training with Keen Physique to build strength, reduce body fat, increase lean muscle or improve your calisthenics ability, feel free to contact me. #nutrition #food #veganfood #mealprep #rainbowsalad #salad #nutritiontips #nutritionaladvice #vegandinner #tofu #tempeh #veganprotein

19.01.2022 . NORDIC HAMSTRING CURL All I want for Christmas is... ...to perform an unassisted Nordic hamstring curl. And I did (about 6wks ago mind you).... These have honestly been a goal of mine since injuring my hamstring a couple of years ago. I can’t say I’ve worked at them consistently over that time, but definitely throughout this year. And before you question my form, I’d like to say, Hey, you. Form police. This is what peak effort looks like. So before you go flapping your gums, just have a little shush and leave me on my high horse mkay. What do you want for Christmas?

18.01.2022 . EDEN PROJECTS I’m still pinching myself over the recent partnership between Keen Physique and @edenprojects, and I think I‘ll be pinching for a very long time. I became a personal trainer for the same reason as many other PT’s - to help people. To educate and teach people to live and move better. My business already had so much meaning and purpose. Now it has even more....

16.01.2022 . SHARE YOUR IDEAS Hey Keen Physique family! It’s Matt and his very tolerant cat, Skylar. I love helping people through my knowledge and experience as a human in the health and fitness industry. But now, I’d love to hear from you!... I would greatly appreciate any thoughts you have on what you’d like to see or hear from me. Am I out of ideas? Heck no! But do I want to address the requests or queries you may have?

16.01.2022 . HANDSTAND BENEFITS I think the above sums up the benefits to a handstand quite well, but I’d like to add one more point. Handstands are fkn humbling, and what I love most is what they’ve taught me. Some days I feel like I’m on a roll, nailing every entry and executing long solid holds. Other days, I can’t seem to catch one. The handstand has honestly taught me to be ok with where I’m at and how I’m feeling on that given day, and I do believe this has good carry over to m...any of life’s aspects.

15.01.2022 . HANGING TOE TOUCHES These are something I don’t do enough, and am now incorporating more into my training. A good hanging toe touch requires you to get your toes to the bar with nice straight legs, WITHOUT leaning back at all in the upper body! That last point is what I need to work on, requiring adequate hamstring flexibility and strong core compression.... I’ve included a couple of regressions in this clip too: Hanging leg raise Hanging knee raise If you’re interested in personal training with Keen Physique to build strength, reduce body fat, increase lean muscle or improve your calisthenics ability, feel free to contact me. #core #coreworkout #corestrength #toetouches #toestobar #gymnasticsrings #strength #flexibility #gymnastics #gymlife

15.01.2022 . WEIGHT LOSS TIPS As you can see in this infographic, there are no crazy unheard of secrets to slimdown town. Because the truth to HEALTHY weight loss is: There are no quick fixes There are no shortcuts... There are no magic pills The above points are general pieces of advice to simply being a healthier you! Drink more water, get adequate sleep, and eat a balanced diet with plenty of plant-based foods. And if you want to lose weight, you’re going to have to be in a caloric deficit, and you’re going to have be patient and persistent! What I think is SUPER important though is if you’re after specific nutritional advice, then see a professional. I tagged some in my previous post. You know what? I’ll tag them here too @theplantbased_dietitian @plantstrong_dietitian @plantbasedwellness If you’re interested in personal training with Keen Physique to build strength, reduce body fat, increase lean muscle or improve your calisthenics ability, feel free to contact me. #weightloss #fatloss #loseweight #leangains #leanandgreen #leanbody #bodypositive #healthtips #sleep #hydration #persistence #patience #dietitian

15.01.2022 . HEARTY DOSE OF GRATITUDE On 23/03/2020, all Australian gyms, and many other facilities for that matter, closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s one of those dates that feels so recent yet so distant. At the time, my PT business was in its infancy, and due to only coaching clients two days per week, I was pretty nervous about what could ensue. I was equally anxious about my other occupation (Podiatrist) - would allied health clinics close? Would I still have a job? Fortu...nately, Podiatry continued (somewhat) as per usual. But the point of this post is to show some very heartfelt gratitude to my Keen Physique clients. Like many other trainers, I adapted to the conditions and continued on as best as I could. I found suitable outdoor space, purchased too many cleaning products and hand sanitiser, and got to work. But NONE of this would have been possible without the KEENness of my clients, who were all so willing and happy to continue training with me. You know who you are, and I thank you all so much. I love coaching. I love helping people. And I love the thought that people actually like having me as their trainer If you’re interested in personal training with Keen Physique to build strength, reduce body fat, increase lean muscle or improve your calisthenics ability, feel free to contact me. #gratitude #thankful #grateful #bestclients #coach #trainer #outdoortraining #covid #lockdown #reminiscing

14.01.2022 . EXCITING NEWS Before I get to that though, I would like to say that I try to live my life as a responsible and conscious human being. And I want these beliefs to spill into all aspects of my life - business included. So, I’m ecstatic to announce that Keen Physique has officially become a partner of @edenprojects!... Eden Projects is an absolutely beautiful non-profit organisation, providing fair wage employment to impoverished villagers to act as agents of global forest restoration. To date, Eden Projects have planted over 333,000,000 trees across Nepal, Madagascar, Haiti, Indonesia, Mozambique, Kenya, and Central America. This reforestation has lifted people out of extreme poverty, restored natural landscapes, and allowed wildlife to flourish. So, my contribution is as follows: 5 trees planted, per client, per week. This means if you train with Keen Physique for a year, you would be responsible for the planting of 250 trees. I am so happy.

13.01.2022 . PEA ALFREDO Give this recipe a save and try it for yourself some time! It may look like a lot but this is so easy and so tasty. I love how you can make such delicious and creamy sauces in a Vitamix just by using vegetables. Get your Vitamix from the legends at @rawblendoz PEA ‘ALFREDO’ SAUCE... 1 head cauliflower (approx 800g) 2 white potatoes (approx 350g) 3-4 cloves garlic 1 leek 150g frozen peas Approx 10g nutritional yeast 20g cashews 1 vegetable stock cube (I used @massel_foods) Water (about 100mL) EXTRAS 360g rice (@thesourcewestendbrisbane) 350g hard tofu 2 cans cannellini beans 2 carrots 200g mushrooms 1-2 zucchini 2 handfuls baby spinach METHOD: 1. Steam the cauliflower, potato, garlic, and leek until soft. 2. While steaming the above, fry off tofu, carrot, zucchini, mushroom, and zucchini. 3. Add rice to the fried tofu and vegetables, + just enough water to cover. Lower the heat and allow the rice to swell. 4. Add your steam vegetables to a blender (I use a Vitamix from @rawblendoz). 5. Add nutritional yeast, cashews, peas, stock, and water, then blend at high speed until smooth. Alter water for your desired consistency. 6. Once the rice has cooked, add your pea alfredo sauce, as well as the spinach and stir through! This made 6 serves. 579cals and 33P | 10F | 85C per serve.

13.01.2022 . MINDFULNESS We are all aware of the chaotic times 2020 has brought us. Does anyone else feel overstimulated and overwhelmed by the daily breaking news and constant updates/changes that we have to quickly adapt to? If you are, that’s ok. On Saturday, I met my brother for a surf, and fortunately for me, he was running a bit late. I took the 10mins to myself to sit and stare at the beautiful sunrise pictured here. This is an example of practicing mindfulness, and being pres...ent i.e. meditation. I don’t want to give the impression that I do this all the time, but moments like these make it very apparent that I need to do it more. Give your mind a rest, tune out of life’s chaos, and be present.

12.01.2022 . R U OK? As you’ve probably seen across your feeds today, September 10th is R U OK day. Obviously today is not the only day we should be asking R U OK, but it is a day to spread awareness and not be afraid to speak out. So with that it mind, I would like to give a personal example not of when I’ve struggled, but when I could have been better in asking someone if they’re ok.... There have been times where my partner has felt particularly low/sad/had a shitty day, and when looking back at these moments, I’ve found that I’ve been the Fix it kind of person. I’ve been one who has the solution and focuses on conveying that to my loved one, rather than simply being there and allowing her to feel heard. Actually having the emotional presence to empathise, listen, and offer a hug is so much more valuable then being a hero with the answers. This allows them to feel that this is a safe space, that their feelings are valid, and that they are loved. #ruok #ruokday #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #support #love #empathy #awareness

11.01.2022 SUMMEREYEZ Recently I spoke about how it’s becoming increasingly more and more easy to make ethical choices, such as food, cars, shoes, and now sunglasses. I was recently #influenced by @ricketts.jordan Instagram activity which spurred me to look into @summereyezbrand glasses. This is an Australian owned company who make high-quality sunglasses made of plant-based frames and organic polarised lenses. They come in recycled packaging AND they plant trees for every order....

11.01.2022 . STEP DOWNS I LOVE this exercise, and my clients do too. These are great to improve knee health and stability, while obviously working on your balance! The best way to approach these is to start at ground level with just your body weight, and progress with load and volume until you can do these weighted off a step.... There’s no real end goal, but I have read that the gold standard is having the equivalent to your bodyweight on your shoulders off a 6-inch step. Start small and build!

11.01.2022 . NO WEIGHTS? NO PROBLEMS How do we improve our strength, muscle size and muscle tone? Progressive overload.... Is the only way to do this by increasing the weight on the bar? HECKIN’ NO!! These example split squats show three ways you can increase load and stress within your muscle without even touching extra weights. ELEVATED FRONT FOOT/KNEE OVER TOES - this increases knee flexion and therefore quad activation. DEFICIT - now you’re going beyond ground level, increasing range of motion. SLOW ECCENTRIC & PAUSED REPS - increased time under tension. Just remember, you’re muscles don’t know the number of kilos on the bar, they just recognise the stress your placing upon them. Smart gains are safe gains, and safe gains are for life. So many valuable tips and secrets, so help me out and give it a like, comment, or maybe save it for later, and at the very least, follow me for more!

10.01.2022 . GUIDE TO PISTOLS Well well well, what do we have here? A little infographic to build on my last video of course! Refer to the previous post to see me putting these pointers into practise.... As I said in my last post - there are SO MANY regressions, variations and preparatory exercises to the pistol squat. What you do depends on your needs, capabilities, and goals. This advice applies to all skills/exercises, not just some silly named squat. One more important piece of advice is to perform your exercise safely to maximise results. Who can help you do that? ME!!!

09.01.2022 . FACTS Studies show that doing just ONE heel-clicker per day can triple your rate of muscle growth*. ...... *this isn’t true, I made it up.

09.01.2022 . HEALTHY MIND & SOUL I love getting out in nature and appreciating the beautiful landscapes our world has to offer. It allows me to escape the daily grind, recharge, and dabble in my passion for photography. Find what activities do this for you and aim to complete one this month! Brisbane is blessed with many incredible walks all within 1.5hrs drive. This beautiful 10.5km hike is Mt Mitchell, located in the Main Ranges National Park. It gifted us with incredible views fr...om its summit, and proved a pretty challenging trek! Twas so great spending this day with a bunch of lovely people - two of which are Keen Physique clients!

08.01.2022 . MOCHA PEANUT PROTEIN RICE CRISPY I had to steal this recipe from @run2food and make if for myself as it’s ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend you follow Michelle’s page as there are drool-worthy recipes uploaded frequently. MOCHA PEANUT PROTEIN RICE CRISPY... (vegan, gluten-free) Serves: 15 P7.4 | F8.6 | C15.3 INGREDIENTS: Dry: 2 cups rice bubbles (approx 80g) 80g chocolate protein powder (@macr0mike) 4 tablespoons cacao powder (from @thesourcewestendbrisbane) Wet: 2 shots espresso coffee (or 3 tsp instant coffee dissolved in a dash of boiling water) 135g maple syrup (approx 1/2 cup) 1/2 cup peanut butter (from @thesourcewestendbrisbane) Topping: 100g vegan dark chocolate (I used 78% @lindt_australia) 1 tablespoon peanut butter METHOD: 1. Prepare a container/tray with non-stick paper (mine was approx 20x30cm) 2. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients 3. Add in the wet ingredients and mix quickly until no dry mix remains and a thick dough-like consistency is formed 4. Transfer this to your container and spread into an even layer 5. Freeze for 30mins 6. Melt chocolate and stir in the nut butter until smooth. Pour this over your now frozen layer 7. Return to the freezer for 10 minutes until the chocolate is set before slicing *Storage tips: these store really well in an airtight container in the freezer for weeks! I tweaked the recipe slightly to make a larger amount, and swapped almond butter for peanut butter as this is what I had. I recommend you go to Michelle’s page @run2food and use her recipe as a guide. My slice was thinner due to using a larger container and wanting more servings. If you want this to be extra #thicc, use a smaller container.

08.01.2022 . WEEKEND HAPPINESS Hello Earthlings. How was your weekend? Mine was incredible (thanks for asking). Did I do anything extraordinary? Not really. But it was wholesome AF. Played some tennis with my good frem @chrilmott (he smashed me 6-1 too. Well done Chris). Double dated with more frems for a @yavanna feast and board games (Catan - lost that too). Morning walks with my love @moniquesharaya, did meal prep, and made banana muffins. Tonight, it’s dinner and a movie.... What did you get up to? TELL ME!

07.01.2022 . 5 YEARS VEGAN Yesterday, the 11th of August, marked 5 years of veganism for myself and @moniquesharaya. Over the past 5 years I’ve enjoyed an abundance of incredible food; travelled to 20+ countries without a worry; checked iron, B12, calcium etc through annual blood tests, all with great results; have continued to progress through my exercise/strength training; discovered many eco-friendly businesses; started my own business; and if you swipe to the next picture, have a...ctually had quite an impact on the environment and the lives of other sentient beings. Being vegan isn’t hard, and is easily one of the best decisions I’ve made. I don’t openly discuss veganism often, but am always happy to talk about it should you have any questions or comments. Thank you @moniquesharaya for initially (and continually), being such an influence and inspiration to my life If you’re interested in personal training with Keen Physique to build strength, reduce body fat, increase lean muscle or improve your calisthenics ability, feel free to contact me. #vegan #anniversary #veganniversary #veganlife #fiveyears #veganfood #vegantravel #veganbusiness #celebration #celebrate @ Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

06.01.2022 . TESTIMONIAL About two weeks ago, I made a post to thank my lovely clients. I wanted to show gratitude to them for continuing their training throughout the pandemic, allowing me to continue doing what I love i.e. coaching. What I didn’t expect were the kinds words in return from several of my clients. I was overwhelmed with positive emotions.... Erin is someone I’ve worked with for about a year now, and it’s been an absolute pleasure. She loves deadlifting, and through focusing on her core and technique, she has increased her strength (and will continue to do so). Additionally, she loves Cog which is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C, and if you don’t know who Cog are then I don’t know what to say.

05.01.2022 . FRONT SQUAT SKITZ I couldn’t believe my luck when David Attenborough reached out to #collab with me. I think we’re really onto some golden here with his next series, Planet Girth (credit to @moniquesharaya ). But seriously, this is me impersonating the big man for one of my favourite lower body movements; the front squat.... A front squat is where the load is placed onto the front of the shoulders. This enables you to keep a more upright torso, which in turn reduces hip flexion and increases knee flexion. That is why this is a knee dominant exercise rather than hip dominant (back squat). Great for dem quadz Do you like my David Attenbrah character? If so, give me suggestions below on some exercises you’d like him to explain If you’re interested in personal training with Keen Physique to build strength, reduce body fat, increase lean muscle or improve your calisthenics ability, feel free to contact me. #squats #frontsquats #skit #reel #davidattenbrah #PlanetGirth #KeenAttenbrah #legday #stronglegs #gymfunny @davidattenborough

05.01.2022 . QUADZILLA Firstly, I would like to say that this ghastly superset was happily taken from Eugene Teo. If you want to listen to some truth bombs, good music and R-rated rants, all while learning a cuppla things, follow this man! This superset is going to burn, but it will provide an extremely good stimulus for muscle growth.... 30sec ‘isometronic’ towel squat Front squat x8-12 ‘Isometronic’ contractions differ from a typical isometric contraction, as you’re only remaining static due to the towel not being able to stretch any further. In other words, grip that towel, and push as hard as you can into the ground for 30secs as if you’re trying to break that thing in two! The second half of the video shows my little twist on this involving overhead squats. Will these work your quads as much as a front squat? Definitely not. But they’re fun and I enjoy them, and what’s exercise if you don’t enjoy it? It’s not as fun I’ll tell you that much for free! Videos sped up 2x cus y’all impatient.

03.01.2022 . PISTOL SQUATS I do love me a pistol squat. They’re a pretty challenging unilateral exercise which require a fair bit of prep. Also, they won’t hesitate to point out some asymmetries/weaknesses! In addition to the full pistol squat, we have:...

01.01.2022 . PUMPKIN SOUP Thanks to my amazing mother @tazpink04, pumpkin soup is a childhood favourite of mine. I don’t think I could ever come close to mum’s cooking, but this is a bloody solid attempt that’s great for those cool nights. Thanks for @moniquesharaya for the assistance. INGREDIENTS... 1 butternut pumpkin 1-2 washed potatoes (size/preference) 1 large carrot 1 parsnip 1 brown onion 2-4 cloves or garlic 1 vege stock cube Water METHOD 1. Roast all vegetables - tbh I didn’t really time them. Fan-forced 180deg celsius for approx 20-30mins. 2. Place roasted vegetables in a bloody good blender - they don’t get more bloody goodier than @vitamix_aunz from the incredible @rawblendoz 3. Add water - the amount depends on your consistency preference. Could be 200mL, could be 500mL. I don’t know, I’m not your DAD. 4. Blend at high-speed for 1-2mins. 5. Enjoy - on its own, with some bread, upside down, with your mate Geoff. Again, I’m not your dad. This recipe made 4 serves. The beautiful thing about soup is you can do what I did here and kind of wing it. I guess the rule of thumb is if it’s a PUMPKIN soup, it should mostly be pumpkin.
