17.01.2022 EXCUSES Excuses are justifications we make to ourselves about people, events and circumstances. They are invented reasons we create to defend our behaviour to delay taking action or simply as a means of avoiding responsibility. Unfortunately for us in the fitness industry it is extremely easy for people to make excuses when it comes to their health simply because their excuses outweigh the rewards!... > Its too early > I just don’t have the time > I’m too tired > It’s too hard Plus the many more we hear! So when it comes to your health and fitness how do we stop the excuses that hinder us from becoming the best version of ourselves?? The hardest part is adherence and staying true to your objective whether that be to get stronger, drop a couple dress sizes or simply to move better. A few key points that I use to keep myself dedicated and committed include; Setting a specific, measurable goal that is realistic. Write down steps in which I need to achieve my desired outcome. Set non negotiable daily actions that override any negative excuses I may have at the time. At ION we will make sure you adhere to your fitness goals, keep you accountable to yourself and help alleviate any negative excuses you find yourself using! We have all had excuses at some point, just don’t let them define your life and what you want to achieve. #excuses #iontraining #defyaverage #smartintensity #coachmatt #strongwomen #buildingbetterhumans #strengthandconditioning #thesweatlife #fitness #training #beatyesterday #everydayisgameday #strengthtraining See more

16.01.2022 FIND YOUR TEAM Training has always been a big part of my life due to professional sport. I have been fortunate to be told what, when and how to train and found motivation came easy in a team environment. Since being retired from professional sport, I can now relate to those who have to find time and motivation outside of their busy schedules to get in a training session.... I have been extremely lucky to have fallen into a team who strive for the best, push each other, train hard and best of all laugh everyday! Find your team - Surround yourself with like minded people who challenge the shit out of you everyday, strive for the best and have your back. Hitting a 250kg PR Trap Bar Deadlift at the end of a 16 week program the crew and I have been following. Strongest I have ever been trying to keep up with the man himself @coach_rhys and the superwomen @ellen.w87 honourable mentions to @samrooney_ep & @vwvw86 #team #iontraining #defyaverage #smartintensity #coachmatt #strongwomen #buildingbetterhumans #strengthandconditioning #thesweatlife #fitness #training #beatyesterday #everydayisgameday #strengthtraining See more

13.01.2022 THE CHEF Between coaching, training & being new to parenthood, @mymusclechef has taken the hassle of prepping, cooking and not to mention cleaning up after myself when it comes to meal time. Having the extra time during the day allows me to focus on the important things like being with my Son and all things business @iontraining ... In less time than it takes me to change a nappy I have the best tasting, easiest meal prep on the market! @mymusclechef #mymusclechef #mealprep #everybodyeverygoal See more

12.01.2022 KEY TO CUEING There are 4 types of cueing that I use when it comes to correcting or emphasising a members exercise or movement. Every member is different when it comes to interpreting and understanding cues so it is important to choose the right words at the right time so that it ‘clicks’ without ‘over explaining’ or ‘over coaching’.... INTERNAL CUE Directs the members attention to their own body movements. Squeeze your glutes EXTERNAL CUE Directs the members attention away from the body and towards the affect of the movement on the surroundings. Spread the floor ANALOGY CUE Focuses the members attention to visualise the exercise on a different level. Imagine standing in a door way, drive out against the door frame PHYSICAL CUE A touch or physical adjustment of an area of the body that needs correcting. Hand on the mid back to signify and correct a flexed spine It is important when cuing that we; Say the most with the least. Use language that is memorable/emotional to the client. Choose your words wisely. The right cue can make all the difference! #cueing #iontraining #defyaverage #smartintensity #coachmatt #strongwomen #buildingbetterhumans #strengthandconditioning #thesweatlife #fitness #training #beatyesterday #everydayisgameday #strengthtraining

10.01.2022 THE STRUGGLE When lifting weights, most of us would have experienced the struggle of the final rep or 2! Often the way we approach this can determine how intense and successful our training session is.... Do you choose to tap out when it gets a little hard? Or do you grit your teeth and give it all you have to get the reps out you are chasing? The ability to put in the effort in the later stage of a lift while working in a safe manner is paramount to growth and the exertion of our muscles to then elicit the changes and adaptions we are after. Depending on our goals in the gym, generally if we are lifting weights we are trying to build muscle, gain strength and create some sort of change within our body. In order to do so we must get comfortable being uncomfortable and test our body through a range of different movements and exercises under a challenging load. This is where having a training partner or spotter can give us the freedom to go all out and see what we are made of! @iontraining we give you the environment needed to get the most out of your workouts and you will never lift alone! You can also be sure that we will be there to give you a little nudge in the right direction and help you achieve things in the gym that even you may not have known you were capable of #iontraining #defyaverage #smartintensity #coachmatt #strongwomen #buildingbetterhumans #strengthandconditioning #thesweatlife #fitness #training #beatyesterday #everydayisgameday #strengthtraining See more
