Better conditioning, quicker recovery and improved health? Yes please!

It's fairly agreed upon that having good conditioning and being able to showcase your strength and power for longer is a handy trait to have.

However, how to do this is seemingly much less agreed upon. In the last couple of decades high intensity conditioning training has become the go-to, whilst lower intensity options were seen as less efficient.

The trouble with this is that, in reality, they offer different benefits that both go towards a good level of conditioning.

So, if you spend a lot of time doing high intensity training, trying this cardiac output style of training (courtesy of ) could be of huge benefit.

Even if you're primary activity isn't very aerobic, the health and recovery benefits of lower intensity conditioning can have a big boost on your performance.

What do your best days, most days, worst days look like? A simple way to chart progress and work out where to put your efforts!

Mindset is how you see yourself, your situation, and the world around you.

It can help you get fascinated by challenges, see failure as feedback and think of adversity as a bend in the road. It can keep you calm, positive and of the belief that you can keep improving.

It can also cause you to get frustrated by challenges, let failure define you and see adversity as the end of the road. It can cause you to panic, be anxious and negative and have you believe that "you are the way you are" and it can't be changed.

That's why it's incredibly important to foster a supportive mindset, so that you have your own little cheerleader in your head, and not your own worst enemy.

There are many great strategies, but being aware of the body language we are using, the things we are focused on and the things we are telling ourselves is a great place to start.

So you’ve tried deep diving on your goals, creating vision boards and forming supportive habits and routines?!

Still suffering with motivation levels? Maybe it’s time for a good old fashioned break.

Photos from aps Coaching's post 12/01/2023

Motivation isn’t really the main factor when it comes to achieving things.

Commitment is what determines how often we’re doing the things we need to and one of the most powerful tools for helping commitment is forming supportive habits.

Motivation is a feeling that comes and goes. It doesn’t last forever.

Let’s look at ways to get our motivation back on track!

Photos from aps Coaching's post 10/01/2023

We get asked about motivation all the time! Especially around this time of year.

What should I do when I’m not feeling motivated?
Does not feeling motivated mean I don’t really want my goal?
Why do I feel unmotivated?
How do I stay motivated?

It feels great to wake up feeling pumped up and ready to attack your day! Often, however, that’s not the case. Our motivation levels go up and down like everything else and this is perfectly normal.

So this week we're going to take a look at what we can do to re-motivate ourselves and keep working towards the things we want. To start with let's take a deep dive on setting your goals and knowing your why!

Does your training fit into your life? Or do you find yourself having to choose between important life events and training?

There are so many reasons to consciously and proactively plan for your life priorities like spending time with loved ones, developing your career, watching the new marvel movie… 😛

Rehab should evolve to build you up to meet the demands of your activities! E.g. A climber’s journey may start with controlled groundwork… and gradually evolve to chaotic swings 🔥

It’s time to graduate from cookie cutter theraband exercises and programme your rehab to truly suit your needs! 🧗‍♂️🤾🏻‍♀️🥊⛷

What a difference 10 min of mobility can make!

Everyone’s body is different, so trying to “achieve” or “compete” with our flexible counterparts may not be our best path.

Perhaps consider mobility as a way of tuning in to your body. 👂Listen to where it’s at today, move it gently & practice gratitude for what it does for us every day 🙏

Often that’s all it takes to make us feel good and confident in our bodies! 😊 (… and now we’re ready to try hard 😉🏋️‍♀️🧗‍♀️)

Because Mondays can be like the Kettlebell Overhead Windmill - just so much going on ! 😅

Hinge pattern, twist pattern, overhead tension, and a fair bit of shifting in centre of gravity! An exercise that not only builds strength in multiple patterns but also challenges movement skill, tests body awareness, and trains mental concentration! 😱

Double tap if you are pleased with what you've managed to get done this Monday ! 🙌❤️🐵

Some lovely testimonials we had recently!

Summer 🏖 we’re swinging about to fee that cool breeze ! Or as Ross likes to say.. brachiation is a great way to develop connective tissue strength & tolerance, rotator cuff reactivity and is easily scalable to match each individual’s level! ✨

In English: monkey bars are a great way to develop your shoulders! 🐵
