Common Sense Exercise & Movement Guidelines

1. Do something you enjoy - Don't always expect to enjoy it.

2. See it as an investment in YOU, your health & pain levels - Do it for YOU not because you are told to.

3. Exercise is NOT just the gym, try to be active in lots of ways. Sport, hobbies or walk rather than take the escalator for example.

4. See it as quality YOU time away from the phone/work/family.

5. The aim is not always to be fitter but to build confidence in your body and functionality. Fitness measures are a by-product.

6. People who exercise regularly prioritise it, it does not need to be your main priority though.

7. Try to enjoy using your body - remember how good it can be or how it has made you feel previously.

Don't Wish It Were Easier, Wish You Were Better.

Wish you were better! I love this quote because this is what life’s all about right? Learning, growing and adapting into something better?

Whatever you wish for just don’t play the blame game by whinging and complaining because that will help nothing and will only drive everyone else around you nuts!

Are You Ready For Obstacles?

Whenever we set out in chase of a new goal like starting a new diet & exercise plan we're bound to run into more than our fair share of obstacles.

One key to success is to plan for the obstacles in advance and work out solutions to handle them.

A few common obstacles to wellbeing and success are:

🚩 Not enough time

🚩 Don’t like exercise

6-Part Full Body Warm-Up & Stretching Routine

Here’s a full-body warm-up & stretching routine for you to SAVE and use. It will be a fairly substantial warm up for most workouts so you can get familiar with them movements and create your own quick warm up if you don’t have time to read all the specific details in your program.

Alternatively, if you’ve had a few days of inactivity or you’re on a rest day or even if you’re on the road for work you could run through this routine which will help loosen up tight achey muscles and have you feeling ten times better than doing nothing at all.

New to Training at Home? Try These 4 Tips.

No gym, no problem. I first wrote this in an Instagram post back in 2018 when I started posting workouts that could be done basically anywhere and with minimal or no equipment.

I clearly had no idea that we would find ourself in a situation like this, where even if we want to we can't go train in a gym!

My main aim at the time was to provide solutions for busy men and women that were finding it challenging to even get to the gym or carve out the time to fit in any exercise

5-Part BODYWEIGHT Home Workout - no equipment

We’re all currently having to adapt our routines and strategise to keep moving and keep our minds and bodies active.

Gyms might be closed but there’s plenty of options to keep us all training and moving forward. I’ve always loved the saying, “There are many ways to the mountain top!” Or something like that. Point is, there is an ABUNDANCE of possibilities if you just look for them and keep an open mind. There are PLENTY of different ways to train and be active but the MOST important thing you NEED is the genuine desire to want to do it!
