Our sessions are structured with a focus on building strength and restoring movement function. Strength & conditioning capacity are incorporated into training sessions so a lot of the time, we’re building strength whilst also increasing our energy systems capacity and endurance.
When you’re stressed out, the foods that you are turning to are more than likely going to be traditional ‘comfort’ foods – think big meals, take-out, fatty foods, sweet foods, and alcohol. Let’s face it – we have all found some comfort in a tasty meal and a bottle of beer or glass of wine when we have been stressed or upset. This is not the permanent solution we want.
I’ll start with history. Kettlebells have a long history and have stood the test of time. The last 50 years or so, we’ve seen many innovations in the fitness industry, some have stuck around and some have faded away. Remember the shake weight? Or chest expanders?
Training in the gym, for many, is a very personal experience. It’s your “you time”, your break from busy work/home life and it fulfills a sense of purpose. It allows you to stay healthy, safely manage stress, build confidence and mental fortitude
The question is, if food is so important why do so many of us not understand it? I am not talking about micronutrients or macro dieting; I am talking about the simple concept of “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants” Michael Pollen.
In life, it is easy to fall into a habit of work, Netflix, eat and sleep. We lose time for ourselves, the people closest to us and our family. Most importantly we lose time for number one, ourselves. Saying that yourself is the most important isn’t selfish in the sense of caring for others, but it is selfish for one reason, and we have to do it.
Then the fitness industry tells you if your workout doesn't leave you exhausted and dripping with sweat you won't get results. This type of training mentality is often attributed to HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). Go to the gym, get smashed for 30-45mins and then you're done for the day. Come back tomorrow and do it again, and again, several times a week.
Hands What are our hands? At their most simplest point you could say they’re just 5 digits attached to a fleshy flat part which attaches to our wrist and then our forearm… This crude description may be somewhat accurate, but our hands are a whole lot more.
