I specialise in helping people move better and achieve their desired physique without promoting a restrictive lifestyle.

I’ve varied between 80 and 90kg over a 3 year period.

Goals change, life gets in the way, so weight will fluctuate.

We can either get worked up about how our body has changed or we can look for continual ‘performance’ improvements*.

To beat your 5k run by 20 seconds, your first push up/ pull up, your first 100kg deadlift.

Using how we look as the main indicator of progression can be quite unrealistic and often times may leave you a bit disheartened. Having something to work towards (like mentioned above) can be extremely refreshing.

There’s things I can do now that I could only dream of doing a few years ago.

Be better than you were last year. I think that’s a good aim for most people.

*if your goals are oriented towards looking better then that’s fine too.

Movement is medicine 🏃

My client took on the London marathon!

Our training revolved around strengthening the hips, an area of weakness following an injury quite some time ago. She felt this was letting her down and preventing her from doing longer distances so we set out a plan.

Angela stuck to it and was able to do the marathon with virtually no restrictions.

I’m super proud of her because I know this is something she’s been meaning to do for quite some time.

Now to set some new goals!

Treat your warm up sets like your heavy sets.

Mentally preparing for the task ahead is so important.

Whether you’re doing empty bar squats leading up to a heavy set of 3 reps or empty bar cleans for a new 1rm.

All your focus should be on moving as perfect and explosively as possible throughout your sets.

Having full confidence in your ability to complete a tough set is a powerful thing. This will come from perfect practise and being realistic with the weight you put on the bar.

Zone out and get the job done!

After working on my conditioning for a good 15 weeks, I’m looking forward to getting some strength back.

Takeaways from that period of training;

- Ability to handle high reps at moderate/high percentages increased

- Recovery between sets increased (heart rate would drop dramatically)

- Ability to sustain my 80% intensity pace for longer periods of time and not dive into max intensity unknowingly - although this could be a side effect of becoming more efficient with my movement

Don’t be hesitant to veer off into unfamiliar territory with your training. You’ll likely lose some things and gain a whole lot of new things. It’s about being balanced. Being adaptable.
