Pre-habilitation, the art of avoiding injury and improving body mechanics before you get hit by a painful reminder of the chinks in your chain.
Think of your body as a pyramid and build your foundation to support the longevity and heights you want to build on it.
From everyday life to new athletic heights!
You are a complex machine and apart from ensuring your training is varied, make sure you identify your weak points and put work in to improve them.

Everyone should feel confident, strong and capable in their own body.
It’s such a waste to exist within a body that you can’t rely on and enjoy in every facet of physicality and health.
I know it’s comfortable to lean into whatever excuse you tell yourself and others as to why you can’t go for that hike, change your diet and nutrition, or try something new. It doesnt help that it’s almost taboo to question it.
Fact is, those excuses don’t help you in the long run, they’re probably making you miserable and slowing you down.
Every able bodied person has the ability to take action for their own health and fitness, so drop the easy excuses!
Women can do amazing feats of strength, elderly people can run marathons and there are triathletes training 12 hours + a week with full time office jobs.
The answer is to tailor your plan to your lifestyle, build up habits that support you to be where you want to be and stay consistent.
I’m not going to lie it will be hard at first, but before you know it, you will find enjoyment in giving yourself love and care and when you check back on your progress after a few months, I 100% guarantee you will love the person you’re becoming.
Take the step, DO IT NOW! it’s never too late.

Training at the gym is one of the foundations of longevity and health. Keeping tendons, ligaments and muscles healthy, strong and mobile.
It’s a use it or lose it situation! So, staying on top of it is an important part of a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.
However, there are other factors that are also often missed.
Jumping, sprinting, lateral and transverse movements were all part of play when we were young and they kept our body agile and coordinated. You should always be able to chase your kids around the park or turn up to football feeling confident in the weekend.
NO WEEKEND WARRIORS!
So take yourself to the track, a field, or even use gym facilities and keep your body bouncy, nimble and explosive! You are never too old to start!!

Don’t Diet, Change Your Habits!!

Don't do that diet you saw online sold by that shirtless guy, claiming that you will lose 10kgs in 2 weeks by staying under 800 calories and eating the skin of apples and chicken feet every day.

It’s a longer but much more sustainable process than all that, if you want to have the body you envision, the energy to get the most out of your day and still be able to enjoy a social lifestyle we need to start adding healthy habits to our day to day and learning about how to balance them.
We want to add just enough to make a difference but not too much that it throws you off and becomes unsustainable.

Don’t Diet, Change Your Habits!!

Don't do that diet you saw online sold by that shirtless guy, claiming that you will lose 10kgs in 2 weeks by staying under 800 calories and eating the skin of apples and chicken feet every day.

It’s a longer but much more sustainable process than all that, if you want to have the body you envision, the energy to get the most out of your day and still be able to enjoy a social lifestyle we need to start adding healthy habits to our day to day and learning about how to balance them.
We want to add just enough to make a difference but not too much that it throws you off and becomes unsustainable.

Once you have absorbed a new healthy habit you will open the floodgates to adding more of them, building on top of each other without disrupting your daily rhythm, you can imagine where such a Health Quest can build too!

Again, this will not happen by deciding that starting next week you are going to train 7 times and eat only lettuce and tuna!! (different shirtless guy, same bs)

But it is totally achievable through incremental steps that evolve and grow overtime and you along with them!

Here’s an example of how you could start building healthy habits in to your lifestyle.
Week 1
A. Record what you eat for 3 days- no changes just make yourself aware of what is going into your body. ✍️
B. Assess the food you are eating, how in line is it with your goals? The amount, the food type, the energy levels you felt. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
C. By the end of the week, based on what you have learned, you are going to create a healthy well rounded breakfast that meets the criteria you set.
🥗🥗🥗
Take this into the following week and enjoy feeling well nourished each morning.

There you go! that is the first step in your Health Quest, build on it by repeating this for the rest of your nutritional needs throughout the day, adding to your lifestyle weekly with more healthy habits till you produce for yourself the results and quality of life you always envisioned! 🥇🥇🥇 Eventualy covering everything from sleep quality to hydration, exercise and more!
