Iโ€™m always a fan of an exercise that works more than one area of the body and this is a good one ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป.

The Zercher Squat - you may never have heard of it or tried it before, but itโ€™s a good one to mix up your training. Itโ€™s a great exercise forโ€ฆ

Improving strength in the back, core, legs and glutes. It also helps you to maintain an upright position, achieve a deeper squat and by your elbows coming down between your knee it will improve your knee and hip mechanics.

How do you do it;
- Stand with your feet slightly wider apart than you normally would for a squat.
- Hold the weight in the crease of your elbow, hug the bar as close to the body as possible.
- Keep your shoulders pulled back in good posture (donโ€™t hold hands as this will round your shoulders inwards).
- Squat down, keeping your torso straight and let your elbows travel between the knees as you lower.
- Drive back up to your starting position.

It can feel uncomfortable in the crease of your elbows, if so, you can wear a long sleeve top, wear elbow protectors, put padding on the bar or just suck it up and get on with it ๐Ÿ˜‰

Mark, I have an idea ๐Ÿ’ก letโ€™s do a 2 day mountain biking route around the Gower, but letโ€™s do it in 1 day!

Me, ๐Ÿค” hmmm that sounds ridiculous! OK, letโ€™s go!!

So afterโ€ฆ.

46 miles.
4,800ft of climbing.
Heat โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ
Lifting bike over stiles.
Paths full of boulders and potholes.
Many many climbs and descents.
A ridiculously steep climb.
Crashes (by me) ๐Ÿค•
Biking in sand and the sea.
Tiny overgrown paths full of stinging nettles ๐Ÿ˜–
A vegan magnum ice cream ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜‹
2 x beers ๐Ÿป

I was completely broken!

But a day of mountain biking in a new place with good company, in the outdoors, exercising, great weather, amazing views and scenery, lots of laughs and memories = an amazing day!! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š

Sometimes when you have a busy day, you just need to get up and get your workout done. I was out the door at 5am this morning and ran 13.84 miles in 1hr 49mins.ย  With a 1hr 42min half marathon it was the fastest I have run that distance in quite a few years.ย  I was very pleased! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐ŸŽ‰

Was a very pleasant surprise to see my client Sarah walking to work. Although she did give me a look of why are you out at this ridiculous time!! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just looking at some of the kit I useโ€ฆ
ย 
I wear a Freetrain vest which is a great way to carry your phone, credit card and keys.ย  The front, flips open so you can easily view your phone.ย 
ย 
Just love my Hoka trainers.ย  Very comfortable, cushioned and light.ย  Will definitely carry on using these in the future ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
ย 
Then I have Pro V-Gain protein ๐ŸŒฑ which is 100% plant-based to help recovery.ย  The chocolate flavour is very tasty! ๐Ÿ˜‹
