Core training in Shirley Park
I was talking my little lad for a walk through Shirley Park Sunday morning In the distance I saw a couple of people doing some ‘core’ work This got me thinking…. You see one of the most misunderstood areas of training is core training As while the idea is legit, the ways people go

One thing I wish I’d knew sooner about training…
That one thing would be to train with intensity! I spent years as a teenager and into my early twenties doing everything sub maximal Lifting, running, everything was moderate, drawn out, steady And… Just like the one thing lacking in most people today is effort to get up and get work done The one thing

Tiger Woods, Doors and Knees…
I once dislocated my knee doing long jump at school, it bloody hurt! It’s took some quality work over the years to make it rock solid again, but that’s knees for you So If there’s one part of the body people have issues with its knees Aches, pains, tightness, swelling, they can be a

Lazy ass people on Channel 5

The great training method most forget…
Driving in and out of Solihull at 6:30 this morning from Shirley, it was a textbook dark January And with it being a Monday, this one can always be a drag But, it weren’t so bad! You see I intended to get up at 5:30, get some stuff done, then head off on my commute

Why you need to rethink how to get leaner
You want to be leaner, healthier, more athletic At some stage along the way you will have done something I bet, me too… Recall the traditional ‘fat burner session’?

Competing in a grueling endurance event… Getting into the best ‘nick’ you’ve ever been in… Up’ing your sporting game In fact since boxing day I have never seen so many people out running all of a sudden The reality is though, that the vast
