23.01.2022 Since I switched to a home studio as an interim for the new commercial studio, I have not been able to have large group sessions. Having a smaller space has meant I can not offer daily training at a viable rate for most of my clients. Most people can get more than enough strength training with 2 good whole body sessions per week. If people can do 3 sessions then 1 x upper , 1 x lower and 1 x whole body works great. I do 4 sesssions: 2 x upper body workouts, 1x weighted leg s...trength workout and 1 x outdoor leg workout. A simple workout I get my clients to do outside of training with me is 5 x 120 stairs that are around the corner from me. These are big stone stairs, so it is equivalent to 180 normal sized stairs. I recommend the following progressions with 1-week rest between if the calves and legs recover faster than 72hrs then go to the next level: Walk (single stairs) 3 sets record how long it takes but do not rush Walk (single stairs) 4 sets Walk (single stairs) 5 sets Jog(single stairs) start each set on the 2min mark (10min workout) Walk (double stairs) Walk/ Jog 2 stairs Jog 2 stairs Sprint 2 stairs 1/5 2/5 3/5 4/5 5/5 Sprint 3 stairs 1/5 2/5 3/5 4/5 5/5 Currently, I am up to 3/5 3 stairs which is nasty with a 2-minute start. It gets messy on the last 1/4 on the way up. Last week I did the stairs in 36 heat with no water its a 15min walk to the stairs it took me 30mins to get home with 5 sit down rests After the bush fires, droughts and covid all the municipal taps and water fountains have been closed off. Which allowed me to almost find god as I made the walk home Stairs are heavy on the calves the first couple of times you do them and whenever you increase volume or intensity. Going down is heavy on the knees, so take your time. The volume is great for the connective tissue if you give it a good chance to adapt. I used to do 10 sets but the higher volume is unnecessary for me plus I would prefer to have a sprinters body over a marathon runners. If your looking for a simple 10 minute leg workout to add into your week find a set of stairs and get started. #health #fitness #workout #stairs #motivation

22.01.2022 #Sleep is an expression of the earth's 24hr rotation that created the perfect conditions for the evolution of life as we know it. The earth's cyclical relationship with the sun allows for dualistic: catabolic (tissue destructive) and anabolic (tissue repair and building). Short amounts of catabolic sympathetic (fight or flight) stress stimulate an anabolic rebound to make you stronger, but when we are chronically stressed, it creates disease. Some common stresses Coffee (s...ympathetic stimulant and endogenous plant pesticide) Industrial seed oils Processed carbohydrate Snacking: insulin waves Staring at Social media Over-exercising Bad relationships Environmental toxins Mouth breathing Constant comparing Doing work you don't like Debt Chronic Anxiety Lack of quality sleep We need 7-9 hrs of quality sleep every night: Complete darkness Silence Clean Air No devices/ EMF Cool temperature Nasal Breathing 3hr food cut off before Supportive Pillow Optimal electrolytes If you want to increase your natural killer cells to fight off the daily DNA damage make sleep a priority. If you want a stronger body make quality sleep a priority. If we need to spend 1/3 of our life sleeping, then we may as well get the most out of the time invested. I have been evolving a corrective sleeping posture for the last 5yrs. Currently, I sleep in the supine position with earplugs, an eyemask, a #denneroll pillow that creates cervical lordosis, lumbar lordosis towel roll and alternate between mouth taping and a jaw strap. I can usually sleep in this position for about 4-5hrs before I wake up. After I wake, I will usually alternate Left and Right side lying sleep with enough pillow support to avoid side flexion of the spine. Initially, I could not sleep on my back with the cervical extension pillow without my arms going numb and my mouth opening. As the neck remodelled, the circulation improved. The jaw strap and mouth taping fix the mouth opening. This is not a natural sleeping position, but if you are committed to healing your neck, then it may be an option as part of a corrective program. #turnoffallnotifications #textneck #spinalhealth @ Origin of Energy

21.01.2022 It feels so good to move freely in the body. Even basic mobility drills like this make you feel so alive. A cartwheel is a front split that turns into a side split into a front split on the other side. The mobility required in the hips for a nice cartwheel can be conditioned with deep lunges, cossack squats and stiff-legged deadlifts. Making the muscles stronger and longer in these lifts will develop adequate range. To establish the co-ordination for the hips to go from a fr...ont split into a side split the supported front kick swing to side split is simple and effective. Once a week, I integrate some basic soft acrobatics into my outdoor workout. These mobility drills work well to get the body warm and get a sense of how hard ill push myself. #cartwheel #split #acro #mobility #strength #fitnessmotivation #outdoortraining #health #listentoyourbody

03.01.2022 Don't stop conditioning the body. If you like running and playing sports that require agility explosive acceleration and change of direction, you have to keep the tissues conditioned. The body will mould around what you do and don't do. The majority of the injuries I see in clients over 35 yrs old who were athletic when they were younger are from sporadic training/ sports. When you have been conditioned in the past, the nervous system still remembers, but the tissues can bec...ome weak with the inability to tolerate load. Using a weekly sprint/ athletic sessions keeps you ready to play random games of sport, sprint across the road, jump off things, be someone who can help when physical ability is required. I complete 5 x 100m figure 8 sprints on the minute with a 25m length with 2 x 180 turns. I do this after 15 mins of soft acrobatics and before 5 x 120 stair sprints on the 2 minute mark. The session total is a 30min investment per week. This keeps me feeling good and lets me self assess so I can work on mobility and strengthening to bring up any deficiencies. Life is too short to get injured. Make a weekly appointment with yourself to at least maintain athletic ability. If you have already let yourself go build it up slowly. A simple weekly checklist would include Pull ups Press Rows Push Ups Deadlift Squat Lunges Multidirectional Sprints 7-9hrs sleep each night 2 sit down meals per day meat and tolerated plants Daily breathing meditation 1 ltr (33 ounces) of water for every 30kg (66 lbs) Body weight with celtic sea salt #fitnessmotivation #agility #sprints #health #selfassess #conditioning #strength #mobility #carnivorediet #regenerativeagriculture
