25.01.2022 Kids dont need Fashion and Technology on their feet. It is time to rethink the boxes most kids have on their feet. When fashion tells us to buy shoes that ...keep feet conforming and contorting we say: remove the padding! When sports marketing tells us kids need performance tech on their feet we say: remove the padding! We believe kids should grow up as barefoot as possible: moving and playing outdoors where possible with minimal interference in their natural, healthy growth. See more

21.01.2022 Long Distance Running. What are you running from? So there was a time when I partook in many ultra distance events. A handful of full Ironman distance triathlons and many 50 to 150 mile non stop running races. I was terrible at them, but I have always enjoyed a challenge. One day a woman running a seminar, who overheard me talking about running asked me what are you running from? Initially I was annoyed by the question. I went home and thought deeply. She was right!!!. I know what I was running from and confronted it head on instead of always running away. The next day (2013)I pretty much stopped running apart from an occasional trot. @ Sydney, Australia

21.01.2022 Heroes who shed their blood and lost their lives! You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well. #anzac

19.01.2022 Sauna From Rhonda Patrick ... High-stress occupations such as first responders, police, and firefighters have a high incidence of heart disease and may benefit from frequent sauna use (4-7x/week) which has been shown to be linked to a 50% reduction in death from heart disease. Sauna bathing exposes the body to extreme heat. This exposure a form of stress increases the body's core temperature and activates a wide array of protective mechanisms that work together to condition the body for future stressors, a biological phenomenon known as hormesis. Hormesis is a compensatory defense response to a stressor that is disproportionate to the stressor's magnitude. The mechanisms that drive the effects of sauna bathing include activation of heat shock proteins and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines; decreased blood pressure and arterial stiffness; and multiple improvements in cardiovascular function. Sauna bathing also improves several aspects of metabolic function, primarily via activation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a master regulator of cellular energy homeostasis. AMPK activation influences gene expression and inhibits cellular processes that drive oxidative stress. The findings summarized in this review suggest that sauna bathing shows promise as a strategy to ameliorate the harmful effects of the dual stressors experienced by people working in high-stress occupations. Learn more about the benefits of the sauna on our topic page. Foundmyfitness.com/topics/sauna https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/3/1105/htm

18.01.2022 Hey friends, I do a weekly (when I can!) blog for Falsegrip, this get shared to our members private page.. for some reason today I feel inspired to share it on ...my page too... Maybe cause I feel that other people I know may be interested, could benefit from thinking outside the box a little on this one... Please have a read/share/comment below if you like ~ Foodie Friday ~ Bit of a weird one today peeps, cause its a thinker. This may not appeal to everyone, but if you like Heston Blumenthal maybe that could rope you in. Youll need some time, maybe a long drive, to listen to this podcast. Or maybe you can listen in parts. Over the years I've studied nutrition, Ive consulted privately for over 10 years now, and the way Ive practiced over that time has constantly evolved. Its easy to tell someone what they should eat, what they "shouldn't" eat, how they should behave, what they need to do to better there health but what I see increasingly is more and more important, is our relationship with food, with ourselves, with others, and how these relationships and sub conscious emotional connections, will affect our health. Human beings have an innate NEED to connect with something, be it food, people, thoughts, activities and so on. Anyone who has embarked on a nutrition journey with me will realise that its always about more than food, maybe food is a tangible thing we can change immediately, but usually things are occurring on a deeper level than what we may even realise. Ill often discuss sleep and stress as this first priorities and road blocks in someones journey. You might already be thinking that this is the too hard basket. But what Im also realising is that true change, whether its about your diet, your self sabotaging habits, embarking on a general journey towards better happiness, or addressing anxiety and depression, will never be linear but instead a long up and down road of exploration. Sometimes youll take the wrong path, or sometimes its the right path, but its so freaking hard, that challenges all your beliefs and fears, that we either bury our head in the sand, or we are forced to face fears head on and make a change in order to grow. I listened to this podcast on the way down the coast last week, and maybe Im a geek but I hung off every word. And Im planning to listen to it again this week. Heston is a fascinating guy, he talks about food, emotions, how different emotions will change the taste, or our perception, of certain foods, even the reaction of our gut bacteria to our current emotional state and we should all know how important gut health is to our overall health and well-being! So many hidden gems in this one, I highly recommend a listen. It goes deeper than food, and the real message lies within beliefs, self-imposed constraints and over coming fear for better health and true happiness. Food is just part of this process. Im gonna listen again and see what I discover the second time around! I listened via the podcast app on my phone, but here's the online link the website. Anyone can do it if their belief becomes stronger than their fear - Heston Kristie Walker BSc (Nutrition) Hons (Clinical Dietetics)

16.01.2022 A short story about a personal trainer called Matt. I’ve been fat, depressed and anxious more than a few times in my younger life, trying every training fad and diet that came along. A mental and physical yo-yo. Then came broken bones, back injuries, kids, recessions, moving continent, corona ...... endless stresses. Sound familiar? I can help. I’ve made the mistakes and have come up with my own unique holistic training system that works.... When I reached my mid 30’s I realised my own training, nutrition and lifestyle choices needed to adapt. Now I’m nearly 40, 11% body fat, healthy and happy. I have less injuries and still manage to train daily. (BJJ, weight’s, cardio, surf, run ,ski, snowboard) With 1000’s of sessions, 100’s of clients and 20 years of coaching experience, I have learnt that true health and wellbeing is simple but not easy. Training with me is not for everyone, it’s tough and requires patience and mental fortitude. Please do not enquire if this isn’t for you. If it is? Enquire now! DM Matt

08.01.2022 I was lucky enough to meet and train jiu jitsu with Kyle on my recent trip to Singapore. He messed me up, the guy is a beast. I honestly thought I was gonna have to go easy on him, I was very wrong. Physical strength comes with a strong mindset as your foundation, Kyle epitomises this. Everyday I (Matt) have a constant battle on quitting and taking the easy path in life. Missing the gym, bjj , healthy diet, cleaning the house and so on. Motivation for me isnt a half naked personal trainer/influencer on Instagram promoting some shit product with a pseudo motivational quote. Its real people doing extraordinary things. If you could do anything today and know you were not going to fail what would you do?

01.01.2022 My thoughts on weight training, health and longevity. This is mainly for the older recreational martial artists, gym goers and adventurous sports people. If you are a PRO competitor, I mean somebody who actually earns a living through your sport or wants to turn PRO, then things change a little from what Im about to say. But more on that in future posts. ... As a group we seem to worry far too much about weight training making us slow, muscle bound and stiff. I was always confused as to why people would look at strength as a negative in fight sports, or in life in general. In martial arts specifically, will often hear.... do not use strength he only beat me using strength technique beats strength Well..... I call bull crap. Strength is an essential quality of human health... body, mind and spirit. Its trainable and quantifiable. Its beautiful, natural and something that requires patience and practice to build. If you want to train, spar, roll, ski, hike, bike, surf and drill into your 60s, 70s and 80s then paying attention to how you TRAIN, EAT, SLEEP and RECOVER should be a priority. If you dont care, then I understand, I didnt for a long time. What changed for me? Well... I hit my 30s, and suddenly injuries happened. I started getting fat, tired, no focus, children, stress etc list goes on. Sound familiar? I had to change my priorities. I asked myself. Did I want to be the best in the gym/dojo, win comps? No, I didnt. So why was I training to try and win everything and beat everybody? Trying to hit a PB every week to stroke the ageing ego. Please know theres nothing wrong with that if you do. But deep down I wanted something different. I wanted to bulletproof my body for everything life could throw at me. Bulletproof it for adventure, fighting and a strong resilient muscular male physique. You can keep believing Dad bods are cool and sexy if you want... but its not for me I want to be the person still there in 30 years. Not just training, but thriving. I no longer care about winning medals. I want longevity, health and happiness. I think the majority of men and women over 30 want the same. To keep enjoying, progressing and keeping healthy in the gym, dojo (for martial artists) and in their life. Over the next few months Kristie and myself will be running workshops on how to achieve this. >>>> Human Optimisation workshops <<< Sharing everything we have learnt over the last couple of decades to build a resilient body and a brilliant mind. The workshops will be aimed at normal people who do extraordinary things. Like BJJ, Fight sports, Crossfit, Gym Training and adventurous summer and winter sports. The 3 workshops will be fun on seperate days and the topics will be. 1-Strength Training 2-Nutrition, lifestyle (sleep and stress)recovery and supplements 3- Mobility and Stretch Therapy Dates to come soon.
