Tools of the trade

What’s in your locker?

Somewhere in there are PT essentials - a squat pad, PARQ’s and possibly a tuna sandwich I forgot about (joke)

New machine Monday

New kit to aid your fitness goals people. And Yes this does get me excited

My first PT business card

Ooh look what I found!? How time flies

What would I tell my younger PT self now to help him on his new fitness venture? 🤔

Whatever you’re training for… 💒 why not get the help of a (qualified, experienced, northern, award winning 😉) PT

Easier said than done, I know

BUT you CAN still exercise

Swim. Aqua aerobics. YouTube home workouts. Yoga / Pilates instead of crazy cardio.

Easy tiger - heat increases heart rate so just think steady and controlled and think about cooling down the bod BEFORE using a cold wet towel or ice

Workout earlier or later in the day when it’s cooler. Hydrate right - up to 850ml before and sip during workout. Workout smarter and stay safe people

people who listen to music while active can increase their workout times by about 19 minutes, push harder without feeling tired, and move 15% more efficiently

What works for you??

In addition to the £2020 raised recently
Just to hear positive comments in a (sometimes) not so positive world is amazing

All comments taken from you wonderful people who donated and supported

DO something good. Positivity breeds positivity

Should you train to failure?

For me. Yes you should. As long as you keep correct form and technique.
After all. You’re exercising. You SHOULD push yourself right?

But here’s something to think about. Could you stop 2 reps short? Apparently it’s just as effective for muscle growth

It’s called Reps in Reserve. A sweet spot on during your working set that should give better results

What do you think?

What’s more important to YOU? what a PT looks like?
They’re experience?
Qualifications?
Knowledge base?

We are always told to aim for the optimal workouts, sleep and nutrition. However.

Making progress in the gym (and outside) aint easy. But we gotta keep trying, right?
