Through first weeks of training, I’m looking round at the familiar equipment in the gym – the ones I like, the ones that would test me, the ones that will get me to where I want to be. Programme defined, sets taken apart in those first few hard, fat burning, muscle building sessions, I’m nowContinue reading “Don’t Fear The Machine”

We all know the drill – get knocked down, get back up again, keep pushing. Well I got to that point a couple of weeks ago. I had been pushing (maybe a little too hard) and wore myself down training wise. I sensed I needed to talk with someone in the know about sports achesContinue reading “The Fitness Hurdles”

Those that have met me may have picked up that I have slightly more mobility in my right hand than left. You may not have known that the muscle ‘weakness’ stretches down most of my left side.

It’s been a while! Well, over the summer I became a Dad, and I LOVE it. The time, the energy into every waking minute changes your perspective (and your sleeping pattern!!)

It’s been a while, does that mean there haven’t been any positive to report? No! Quite the opposite.. A new job in an industry promoting personal development has emerged and it’s been the main focus over the last few weeks and I’m loving it. I’ve seen first hand the journeys people go on to stretchContinue reading “Stretching..”

The formatContinue reading “A review of Watertight Marketing”

Mentally… Physically… Emotionally…. Mentally, people have metaphorical walls to climb. That is half the battle – once that is overcome and a physically personal learning process will see people over… The brother of Lewis Hamilton, Nic, is a racing driver in his own right, once told kids ‘it doesn’t matter how you ‘look’ getting overContinue reading “Breaking down the barriers to success…”

Can we accept comfortable? What emotions can it invoke? It may make us feel safe and secure – but for how long? Is the state of being comfortable a long term or short term feeling? We’ve got to strive for ‘better’, we have to push our boundaries and carry our determination with us to newContinue reading “How comfortable is your environment?”

How is your meal? I’ll do that right away! We’ll get that to you by the end of the week. We all encounter statements such as these on a regularly basis – what we get in return depends upon how providers make us feel as a result of their actions. How much value they placeContinue reading “Is the service you get real or box ticking BS?”
