20.01.2022 NOURISH YOURSELF // my sunday tip for today: take care of yourself! nourish yourself, hydrate yourself, love yourself. don’t be too hard on yourself! it’s easy to obsess over perfection and compare yourself - if the person in the mirror was your best friend, would you be as mean to him/her as you’re being to yourself? well, i got news for you, you are talking to your best friend, you! .... so be kind to yourself and remember no body is perfect, and that’s what makes us all special. to me, the most beautiful thing about a person is kindness and respect . let us practice self love today, i want you to name something you love about yourself! it can be any trait you want, inside or out See more

16.01.2022 a favourite mobility exercise of mine. DYNAMIC SQUAT AND PULL or better known as the frog squat. this is a great mobility movement to complete before completing some squats. squats require an adequate amount of ankle, hip and thoracic spine mobility and this movement will help mobilize your joints and help you achieve greater depth without over compensating. in a wide stance, squat down low into a squat (think about sitting in between your feet) and grab onto your to...es. keep feet flat on the ground and have your knees outside of your elbows. lift your hips up towards the ceiling whilst still grabbing onto your toes and try to fully extend the knee. look at the wall behind you! sink back down to a squat, lift up chest and repeat for reps. #thefitnesspursuit #thefitnesspursuitbyjm #bodyweight #mobility #squatmobility #squatwarmup #onlinecoach See more

15.01.2022 bumping up my dietary fibre for the day with some R O A S T E D V E G G I E S // always makes a great side plate too

12.01.2022 WHO ARE WE? // TFP was established back in 2014 and since then, i have positively helped well over 200 lives . understanding that nobody’s body is the exact same, i implemented a holistic approach to my coaching so we could be apart of our clients’ lives other than just FITNESS (and aesthetics ).... holistic does not mean throw some yoga in there, get a green juice or having the perfect blend of cardio and strength. holism is more about being completely healthy as a WHOLE. my approach looks at the WHOLE YOU, because there’s usually more to getting fit than eating salads and doing some workouts. here are just SOME of the parameters i address with my clients: current attitude about life beliefs, behaviours and life experiences that brought them to this point of needing change feelings and beliefs that make change digestive health immune system health neurological and brain health hair, skin, eyes, and mouth health exercise history medical history diet history injury, pregnancy, and disease history inflammation presence spiritual connection to self and life purpose attunement to own body culture and upbringing around food and health TFP’s goal for all clients is a self-revolution. not just a reminder, or a time when i was really into fitness. TFP can help you solidify your habits so you can stay away from what brings you down and stay on what lifts you up for the rest of your life! i love to make the WHOLE picture make sense (save the details for another post). i strive to make everything in your life in support of your goals. k yearn to get you results beyond just the physical that last a lifetime.

10.01.2022 not feeling training at the moment? feel like you’re in a bit of a funk? it’s completely normal and it’s something that everyone experiences at some point! here are some things that have helped me in the past to get excited to train again: get a training program - if you’re finding that you’re wandering aimlessly around the gym and doing random exercises without a purpose then why not get a program from a coach that aligns with your goals? we have an app on @truecoach.co a...nd all our online clients love it! mix up your training program - if you have been doing the same training program for months and you’re not excited about it any more then it’s time for a new one! change the time of day you train - if you normally train at night and you’re often finding that you’re too tired or can’t be bothered to train by the end of the day then why not try some morning sessions? change your training environment - this has more of an impact than you think. give your workouts a go outdoors, at home... wherever! spice it up. get yourself a workout partner - need some accountability? want to make training more exciting? enlist one of your pals who has similar goals to you. TFP offers small group training which will help! make a new workout playlist - music can be incredibly motivating and really help you get in the mood to train. check out the TFP bangers playlist current on spotify link in our bio! get a PT - sign up for a few sessions with a PT for a little extra push and to learn some new things! @nez_bitz can sure can vouch for that after our session this morning at the gym i hope you find these helpful!

05.01.2022 [DEEP] SQUAT AND THORACIC REACH great for hip mobility and thoracic rotation! squat as low as you can and place one hand on the ground or on your ankle.... wedge the same side elbow into the knee. reach the opposing arm toward the ceiling and follow with your eyes. ensure that you rotate through your thoracic spine. goal is to keen your hips in a deep squat position whilst you reach overhead. i recommend starting with 3 sets and 8 reps on each side. #thefitnesspursuit #thefitnesspursuitbyjm #spinemobility #hipmobility #perthfitfam #fitperthlife #onlinecoach #perth See more

04.01.2022 SEATED GOODMORNINGS // do you need or want to improve your hip movement & capacity? want healthy functioning hips? good news... there are plenty of variations to go around of seated goodmorning suited at all levels .... first: get the full range of motion with little weight the chest touches the bench with a straight back NO ROUNDED BACK! well done to @kaisharaffaele who nailed it in her first set. seated goodmornings are one of my favorite exercises for the lower back and will help build strong, stable and resilient hips . this is also great for teaching people how to hinge, breathe & brace or the role of posterior chain (all that juicy stuff behind you that can't be seen on a mirror ). you will need a little bit of patience to build up this exercise, so don’t forget that a detailed set up is more important than the load

03.01.2022 if you’ve got a foam roller, get it out and start rolling! there’s so many ways to use the foam roller to increase mobility. they are a great self massage tool that you can use at home, in front of the tv, before bed for 5 minutes or first thing in the morning. your body will thank you! 1 here’s another one of my favourite foam roller stretches. great for upper body mobility. make sure you breathe throughout and on each exhale try push the stretch a bit further.... keep coming in and out of the stretch with controlled breathing. save it, share it and let me know how you go! #thefitnesspursuit #thefitnesspursuitbyjm #mobility #foamroll #warmup #cooldown See more

02.01.2022 when you remove the leg drive for some seated shoulder presses #ouch! NO HIPS | NO LAY BACK the seated press is a great overhead accessory exercise for building pure shoulder strength if you keep it strict, by avoiding layback, you work the pressing muscles directly.... i use the seated press as a supplemental exercise because it removes the hips and the layback from the equation. @ellena7 here has advanced amazingly in presses. she’s gone from the usual oly standing presses, to now seated . the seated press also a great standing press substitute when dealing with a lower body injury. @ Cockburn, WA
