'Finishers' are often used to bring your workout to an end in a blaze of glory and can sometimes help turn a 'meh' workout into something that finishes like a scene from a Quentin Tarantino. With no prisoners.
Try this this quick little 2 move finisher, using a couple of kettlebells and maybe grab yourself a partner to join in. It was done at the end of a lower body session and sent me home feeling like I'd been sunbathing on the surface of Mars.
Do you ever use 'finishers' in your sessions or attempt 'challenges' to keep yourself engaged? If not, give them a try and see if it helps you with your consistency. Let me know.

Let's talk Confidence.
What it means. Where you get it? Why some people have it? What you can do to cultivate it and how do you keep it when you finally find it?
So many questions I'm going to try to help answer over the next few months alongside some amazing guests as we go Live and try to get to the bottom of CONFIDENCE.
Save this, set a reminder and tag friends below who would love to join the Live and have questions answered by my guests.
Confidence might be the difference that makes the difference. Join the team from Ruh Dental who will be starting off the series with The Truth behind the Smile.
Sunday Dec 3rd 7pm. Drop any questions you'd like featured below.

As I approach the end of 2023, I'm reflecting more

As I approach the end of 2023, I'm reflecting more and more on what I gained & what I lost in this past year.
There have been so many professional and personal ups and downs across the year (as with most years), but I'm feeling good knowing I'm leaving this year in a better place than I entered it.
Is that just me?!
But one thing I've managed again is to not 'stop' moving and so knowing I can still do this move (which I started doing 20yrs ago!!) makes me happy. I'm not nearly ready for the proverbial scrap heap yet and neither are you (whether you try this move or not).
2024 means Chapter 48 for me. Bring it, I've got plenty of role models that show me that age is simply just a number.

There is a difference between doing things by your

There is a difference between doing things by yourself and being alone, the difference might be subtle to some people and huge to others.
Being 'alone' (in my personal opinion) is very much like being in a state of solitude and sometimes you can be around others and still feel like this. Doing things by yourself stems from a place of independence and is a mindset of self-reliance. Both are essential parts of life because you'll often have to rely on coping with being alone at times and deal with not outrunning your own smoke by constantly being around people or things.
You will also need to find independence (and strength) in allowing yourself to do things you want to do, that will make you happy or successful and maybe you shouldn't wait for others to keep you company on that part of your journey.
Embrace the power of both, find strength within yourself to do what's right for you and be consistent with it whether standing alone or surrounded by others.
That is my Warcry. Thoughts?
What do you do alone that you could do with people? What do you prefer doing with people that could be done alone? How do you feel?

The Powerbag feels like one of the most underused

The Powerbag feels like one of the most underused pieces of equipment in a mainstream gym. So I'm going to start using items you often find, but maybe have never thought about involving in your workouts.
What do you think? What other pieces of equipment would you like ideas for (whether you're a member or even a fitpro)? If you're a 'specialist' who wants to collaborate, drop a message below or DM.

If you think my life is or has been easy. Think again. But with every failure, I've learned a bit more about myself and I use that to minimise making the same mistake again. But I'm human, I care, I feel and failing won't ever stop.
So therefore, I can't stop either.
This chapter of my life isn't about flashy things or fast cars, it's about my legacy, being a role model and your memories of me when I'm gone. That's my Warcry

Winter is here, what you do next depends on where

Winter is here, what you do next depends on where you want to be when it is over and the clocks spring forward again.
Every decision you make to keep moving forward (however small the steps) is better than giving into the feeling of stopping totally or thinking you will always have time. We don't all have the luxury of guaranteed time, so make moves/memories now while you can.
That is my Warcry.

It started with a random showing of a pair of sneakers that had come to her attention, it progressed to those same shoes arriving at the house...when suddenly the awkward penny drops!!
When you and your partner accidentally become sneaker 'sole'mates and my sneaker collection is again under the spotlight!!!
I'm too old for this #twinningiswinning malarkey and so guess we'll have to play 'rock, paper, scissors' to win the right to rock the sneaks!!!

You can't control how people receive your energy.

You can't control how people receive
your energy. Anything you do or say gets filtered through the lens of whatever they are going through at the moment, which is totally not about you.
Just continue doing your thing with as much integrity and love as possible, knowing that if what you say is taken the wrong way, then either meet halfway, agree to disagree or let it go.
So if someone asks you or expects you to change your energy, decide if it's in your best interests or theirs. Then act appropriately as life is short.
Enjoy being you, surrounded by the same energy you give out. That is my WARCRY

Felt more like myself for the first time in a long time and especially post surgery. Today was about an opportunity that required subtle smart casual wear and I put this together. All black is both my comfort and confident zone.
Confidence is key.
What's yours? What colours make you feel like you?!

Sometimes you have to quieten the negative voice i

Sometimes you have to quieten the negative voice in your head with the positive pounding of your heart. That works for me when I'm not in the 'mood' to train, but then I have to remember that being 'in the mood' might actually be a construct to justifying not doing something that needs to be done.
Life tip... you might not always 'be in the mood' to do something, but often that 'thing' is what you need to do or focus on and so putting it off could make matters work or create anxiety/stress. This could be exercising, could be a work, could be intimacy with your partner, might be eating better, how about going out out with friends or just doing something fun.
Help 'your mood' sometimes with action over reaction. That is my Warcry. Thoughts or comments below!?

Lets get Chuck Norris strong from the comfort of your own room (or if you're on the road) and start to make a difference to your health, fitness and mental wellbeing.
Try this intense, fast & invigorating bodyweight workout (if you have no equipment to hand) or add some serious resistance to the movements to level up your fitness game.
Your workouts, your way. That is my Warcry.
Hit Save before you scroll on, so you don't forget this short workout and tag that buddy who might benefit from trying it with or without you. Thank you in advance

You pretty much always have a choice. Choosing to

You pretty much always have a choice. Choosing to not quit is also one and regardless of how fast/slow your progress... not quitting is a sign of winning.
That is my Warcry.
Choosing a personal trainer is much like choosing your hairdresser. Find someone reliable, who listens, appreciates your 'wants', helps with your 'needs', has an open mind, is someone you should recommend to others and is all about making you not look bad. Lol
Client: Tina - a simple before & after pic doesn't tell enough of the story. She has trusted the process, it has been a rollercoaster, but she has never not been accountable to every decision made and here we are.
