25.01.2022 RUOK ? If you feel like something’s not quite the same with someone you know there’s something going on in their life or you notice a change in what they’re saying or doing - trust that gut instinct and take the time to ask them Are you OK? That conversation could change, or even save, their life. It's great to ask, but do you actually know how to say it? Are you prepared to answer if someone says no? We thought we would help you out by sharing the steps from @ruokd...ay 1.Be relaxed, friendly and concerned in your approach. Help them open up by asking questions like "What’s been happening?" Mention specific things that have made you concerned for them, like "You seem less chatty than usual. How are you going?" If they don’t want to talk, don’t criticise them. You could say: Please call me if you ever want to chat or Is there someone else you’d rather talk to? 2. Listen with an open mind Take what they say seriously and don't interrupt or rush the conversation. Don’t judge their experiences or reactions but acknowledge that things seem tough for them. Encourage them to explain: "How are you feeling about that?" or "How long have you felt that way?" Show that you've listened by repeating back what you’ve heard. 3. Encourage action Ask: How would you like me to support you?" Ask: What’s something you can do for yourself right now? Something that’s enjoyable or relaxing? You could say: "When I was going through a difficult time, I tried this... You might find it useful too." If they've been feeling really down for more than 2 weeks, encourage them to see a health professional. IF THEY NEED EXPERT HELP Some conversations are too big for family and friends to take on alone. If someone’s been really low for more than 2 weeks - or is at risk - please contact a professional asap. 4. Check in Pop a reminder in your diary to call them in a couple of weeks. If they're really struggling, follow up sooner. You could say: "I've been thinking of you and wanted to know how you've been going since we last chatted." Stay in touch. Genuine care and concern can make a real difference. Artist: @danhlegend In frame: @ali.earthchild

21.01.2022 ROLLING! Well done to everyone who jumped in on our TABATA BAND and FULL BODY MUSCLE sessions today. You have started the week RIGHT! If you haven't got that daily exercise in yet, start rolling tomorrow....NOTHING will stop you!

18.01.2022 Just wanted to remind you guys that anyone on their health journey or about to start that EVERYONE is different and there is no one size fits all approach. We are all so different genetically and there is no ‘secret’ that works for everyone. Start your journey for YOU, not because you want to look a certain way. You don’t need to transform how you look; it’s about what changes you can make on the inside. Healthy looks different for everyone. Find what you love doing and do that because it is sustainable. There is no ‘perfect’ body and no weight loss that will bring you happiness. Happiness comes from within

14.01.2022 I am worth it.... It's easy to let every day bleed in to the next right now; you may be at home with the kid, working from home or between work. The one thing we have is time. However, the one thing we all wish is that we maximised that time to the best of our ability. When that voice inside your head says "You don't need to exercise today. You are stressed, relax. Maybe tomorrow" that is the best time to get up. We will often sabotage ourselves and make ourselves feel ...worthless; you aren't worthless. Fight what is going on between your ears and get moving.... You'll feel better, you'll look better, but most of all you will appreciate yourself and your own strength. Get after it today; you will never have this day again.... See more

14.01.2022 FLASHBACK to the MPT gang at Mount Everest Base Camp. Here we have coach Trav and Croydon legend Steve. It sucks not just being away from the club, but being away from the people we see more than our own families. The one thing you miss the most is often the thing you take the most for granted. This will hopefully mean that we all appreciate the special moments, the eye contact and the daily relationships we have all taken for as a normal function of our lives when we come ou...t of this. Until then, all we can do is go through our camera rolls and count down the days. Well done to all the legends who jumped online this morning on FB and Zoom; you the real MVP. Jump online or give your best friend a call today and tell them you love them.... Love your work. Enjoy your Saturday! See more

08.01.2022 Exercise and Depression.... Both understanding and treating mental health is of the utmost importance; especially of late. It’s @ruokday tomorrow and we wanted to share the benefits of keeping your body + mind, healthy. Research suggests that regular exercise... may increase the level of brain serotonin; a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, sleep, libido, appetite and other functions . Problems in the serotonin pathways of the brain have been linked to depression. Exercise can also increase the level of endorphins in the brain which have ‘mood-lifting’ properties. Regular exercise may alleviate symptoms of depression by: increasing energy levels improving sleep distracting from worries and rumination providing social support and reducing loneliness if exercise is done with other people increasing a sense of control and self-esteem, by allowing people to take an active role in their own wellbeing. Key points about the role of exercise in treating depression Regular exercise can be an effective treatment by itself for non-melancholic depressions Exercise does not need to be extremely intense to help treat depression; a brisk walk each has shown to be beneficial. For more severe depressions, exercise may be a helpful strategy alongside other treatments such as medication, meditation, etc. For those with a melancholic depression and experiencing lack of energy in the morning, exercising in the morning has been shown to greatly increase mood throughout the day. Get out there and remember that something is better than nothing; start with a walk and continually challenge yourself to improve with every coming week. See more

08.01.2022 Get outside and improve that mood.... For all of the adverse effects the sun can have on our skin, the benefits it can cause are terrific. Sunlight and darkness trigger the release of hormones in your brain. Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin; serotonin is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused. At night, darker lighting triggers the brain to make another hormone called melatonin...; this hormone is responsible for helping you sleep. Without enough sun exposure, your serotonin levels can dip. Low levels of serotonin are associated with a higher risk of major depression with seasonal pattern (formerly known as a seasonal affective disorder or SAD). This is a form of depression triggered by the changing seasons. A mood boost isn’t the only reason to get increased amounts of sunlight. There are several health benefits associated with catching moderate amounts of rays. The melatonin pathway caused by exposure to bright morning light has been effective against insomnia, premenstrual syndrome, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Other things that sunlight can do that you might not know: It plays an important role in countering infection, inflammation, cancer, and autoimmunity, also it had Direct immune suppression. Exposure to both UVA and UVB, These mechanisms may help prevent autoimmune diseases. also, the sun can be used in treating skin disorders such as psoriasis. When in the sun a thing called Neuropeptide substance P. Along with CGRP, this neuropeptide is released from sensory nerve fibres in the skin following UVR exposure but may also produce local immune suppression. Get outside this weekend and enjoy the sun when and where you can.... See more

06.01.2022 Lower Back Pain when Squatting? One of the best, if not the best, exercises to do for gaining strength, muscle, and losing fat is the squat. However, many people simply do not do the exercise correctly; this is often due to the sedentary lifestyle which results in tight and weak muscles. If the squat is performed incorrectly over a long period it can lead to muscle compensations and chronic conditions such as lower back pain. Let’s look at two common ways squatting can cau...se low back pain. 1. Squatting can cause lower back pain when the neutral curve in our back is not maintained throughout the movement. A telltale sign of this is a rounding of the back and a loss of a curve in the lower back, often seen towards the bottom of the squat. A major cause of lower back pain during squats is when the person exceeds their current level of hip mobility, and then this places stress onto their lumbar spine. To avoid putting excessive strain on the back it is crucial to keep a slight, but not dramatic, curve in the back. The Squat should be first attempted with only the body as weight and should be learned correctly, before adding weight. 2.Chest Caving. One other major issue people have is tight hamstrings this is one of the main issues also why people get a sore back while squatting, as you descend in the squat your hamstrings start to stretch also, if they are tight this also can affect your hips tucking under, or what some people might know it as "butt wink", which takes tension away from the legs and thus on to the upper back. Another thing you could try is to move your hands in closer to your shoulders and drive your elbows underneath the bar, or to adjust the bar placement on your back. However, most of the time the excessive or nonexistent curving of the back can be caused by a weakness in the stabilising muscles of the lower back. Other things you can add into your training to improve your squat is exercises like Good Mornings to help strengthen the erector spinae muscles while also helping you to avoid a bent-over position during squats. Give it a go, guys. Hope this helps! See more
