Laughter to start the Day

Being a dog lover, having had two dogs of my own I can really relate to this short video clip.

It make me smile every time I watch.

Enjoy and have a great day.

Pull ups at 40

Just another day in the park with the kids turned out to be the best idea in ages.

The local council have put some big boys and girls toys in the park to play on.

Yippee!

Yes thats me in the middle of a pull and im 40 and yes I was trying to impress my kids.

Who I might say took one look at me (there big strong alpha dad) and when over and climbed all over the Ab curl bench.

Thanks kids..

Anyway the park is great with loads of stuff for the kids and parents a like.

But there are no parents using the stuff.

Is it because they don't know what to do?

Yes and No

A big part is not wanting to look and feel totally out of shape.

Er reality check if your think this you most probably are.

Then it's not knowing what to do.

So in 14 days time I will have completed a full resource for what to do at the park to get into shape.

Want to know more drop me a comment.

FRAN can do ONE

It's 9.00am and FRAN is just around the corner.

I'm getting slightly nervous about this as I've not meet FRAN.

I have heard she can be a little difficult to work with and time consuming.

But I pledge to put my all into this and greet her with an open mind and heart.

Everyone needs a fair shot and let there story be told.

Got to go back to coaching.

Nige

PS. I hope my wife doesn't read this I could end up in big trouble.

You can't fix being stupid

I spend 6 days a week helping people recover from injuries and love see the light bulb moment when a clients see that they can have a more active lifestyle.

But being stupid in high heals performing a dead is asking for trouble.

Have a look and let me know your thoughts.

What's better sitting or standing at work.

A subject that came up this morning while speaking with a client after the training session who suffer from a bad back.

she mentioned that her back is worse when seated at her work desk.

Which can be for up to 9hr (sometimes longer) being a graphic designer to reach dead lines

I mentioned that i seem to get more down standing because when i sit using the lap top my rids on the right side hurt.

Yes I know posture but I coach / teach and over the years have used a computer less and less since Uni.

Unless researching for something even then I try to keep it to small amounts of time because I'd rather coach / teach or go for a run.

Then bang looks what's just pop into my inbox this afternoon from precision nutrition.

A blog post on the very same subject.

Happy reading.

A day in review but not finished Yet.

Starting of at 6:20am with the morning routine with kids and breakfast.

Moving on to a home PT session at 7:30.

Back to the studio to teach Pilates 9-12 finishing with a top weight session in the gym with Robyn.

"Boy" does this girl dig in and find the hidden strength in training.

The afternoon and early evening was spending time with the children before I kick of revision work reading Anatomy Trains.

Like physical training you've got to keep up with the physiology and Anatomy if you work with people who have injuries and want to improve the situation.

That how I roll on a Tuesday.
