What key things do you need to get results with strength and mobility training?

Clear goals. What results are you trying to achieve? If you are not training for your goals you are training for someone else's.
Mentor or Coach. Who has already achieved or has coached someone similar to achieve what you are trying to achieve?

Methods. What methods were used to achieve the result that you are trying to achieve? Did this person use specific training e.g gymnastics/ weightlifting/ ballet as a child or as an adult? Most of the good coaches I have met had to work harder than other athletes. They usually did not make the team or they had to make a comeback after a significant career-ending injury.

Time and Resources. Can you commit the time and money it will take to live the lifestyle? Remember eating better and doing some training is better than nothing, but it will not automatically achieve the result you are after. Time is everyone's most scarce valuable asset.

Consistent effort. Can you learn from failure? Can you keep up the intensity and adjust the approach to keep making small consistent steps towards the result. Can you keep the needed consistent effort dispersed in a balanced way across all areas of life:

Own your mind: avoid social media & MSM

7-9hrs quality sleep

2-3 nourishing whole food meals. My go-to meal is 250-500g of Grassfed Red Meat and 1-2 pieces of fruit. Simple and complete

2-3 ltrs of mineralised filtered water

5-8hrs of working in and or on your business to keep to support your family and save for the future. Remember to save in an asset that can not be devalued by inflation or confiscated by communist dictatorships.

2-3hrs per day connecting with the people you love.

1hr in Nature fresh air and sunlight

1hr per day of movement conditioning, a conscious awareness to move throughout the day and to keep the body aligned with good posture: sleeping, standing, sitting, walking moving.

Stay strong life is not fair or easy but you have already received the most amazing gift imaginable: LIFE with conscious awareness and the ability to change.

I used the massage ball, foam roller and mobility routine for the first 15 mins of group sessions for the last 10yrs that I was in the origin studio. I found that it benefited all my clients and gave them a great opportunity to get to know their body.

The outdoor coaching environment is not as ideal to get down on the ground on the ball and roller. I transport DB's Rings and Bands every day for coaching so adding multiple rollers would result in extra trips to the car. I still take a couple of balls and a roller but some mornings it is wet so since being outside so for the last 6 months I have switched to a 2-4 min backwards hill walk and a series of long sustained stretches using the picnic benches.

Deep lunge stretch: this mobilises the front ankle, knee and hip at the same time as opening up the hip flexor of the back leg.

Deep glute stretch: this mobilises the front hip. Multiple angles can be used. the bench provides a good platform to support the knee and a foundation to pull on for improved loading of the hip.

Deep squat stretch: this mobilises the groin, glutes, ankles, lats and lower back. Holding on to the bench allows for a deeper loaded stretch plus it stops those that do not have adequate deep squat mobility from falling backwards.

Back lever quad stretch: This stretch works well to improve shoulder flexion and deep knee flexion. You can see that I have some room for improvement with maintaining hip extension.

Deep hamstring, calf and lat stretch: This is great as it allows for the weight of the body to provide some good load into the calves and Achilles tendon. The weight falling back also opens up the lats, activating the hip flexors increased the load onto the hamstrings. I prefer the underhand grip for this stretch but only one of the picnic benches allow for this this spot only allows for a decent grip with the pronated grip.

For over 25 yrs I have personally witnessed positive results from mobility training utilising the massage ball, foam roller and mobility routines. The key is to build and maintain mobility stability strength and coordination as an integrated method.

So grateful for everyday with my family. If you never want to feel lonely get a French bulldog, yes of course it’s best to be complete within yourself so you never need anyone but french bulldogs are amazing loving companions. Thank you to my beautiful wife who manages capture moments like this effortlessly. So proud of the ability you have developed as a photographer. So beautiful when people find and continuously develop their passion. .photography

We can not let humanity become divided.

If you have weighed up all the pros and cons and have decided to get or not to get the c-d injection I respect your choice.

Whatever your decision, what do you think mandating the c - d injection will do to Australia? If over 100000 Australians are willing to be arrested and fined to stand up against lockdowns, masks and mandated vaccines and passports, how many people are too scared to protest? How many people are too scared to speak up because of family, friends & work. How many disagree but got the shot to go back to work? How many people are willing to get a booster shot every 6 months?

What happens when only the vaccinated can work, eat out, go to the gym, travel? Do you think those that have decided not to get the shot are going to say “ok no worries”?

I am doing my best to stay open to the evidence of all sides of this situation. I know intelligent people who I respect who have varied views from 1 end of the spectrum to the other. I have been repeatedly abused for sharing what I think. Frustration can be expressed in many ways unfortunately many people turn to anger and violence when they are scared or can not control others. Everyone needs compassion now more than ever.

The c-d injections can not offer sterilizing immunity, they do not stop the spread and at this point, it is looking like once the antibodies wear off they do not decrease negative outcomes. Some research is showing that the c-d injections are driving mutations and worsening outcomes.

Before WHO changed the definition of herd immunity it was healthy people that would be offering natural immunity to support herd immunity (made up of both natural and vaxed). If people can and have recovered from c-d quickly why are we not using them to get the economy up and running?

How many people have a genuine concern for side effects or death? How would you feel if someone you knew died from the covid injections or experienced serious side effects? I know many people who have had family members die or hospitalised from C-D some are now pro c-d vax some are upset that potential early treatments have been banned.
