Rest Day

A great opportunity to look back over the past 10 weeks and assess your performance. 

If you would like improvements in any areas I can help with some programming? So just comment me with any questions. I'm here to help. I can add a Ab workout each day or make a chin up plan or even program a 10 week plan to get you to the next Marathon.

Set some goals!

Snatch Day

Work up to a 1RM

8,4,3,2,1,1



The weightlifting snatch is a complex movement. I requires a fast jump and high pull, then you pull under the bar and land in a squat stance and tighten up like hell to catch the load above head. Stand and you have it.

A NEAT ATTITUDE - Thanks BOB

A little over a month ago my cousin approached me wanting to get fit for  his trip to Europe, shed 10 plus kilograms and feel more confident with his body. We will call him BOB to keep his name private. Well BOB has turned up to his 3 training sessions with the most positive refreshing attitude. He is willing to try new things, mimics my movements and brings an intensity that will generate the results he desires. Every week is different, we do boxing, sprints and KB squats 1 week and another week we do push ups, sit ups and lunges for time. That is just an example of the last 2 weeks. What I have noticed in life in general, as people get older they tend to get set in their ways and close themselves off from new things. What inspires me most about BOB is that he is so ready to move towards his goals. BOB brings the attitude of an athlete, the intensity of an athlete and chooses to have fun doing it. As a trainer I love to coach, but I also get to learn a lot from what makes a successful athlete.

Lets all take a leaf out of BOB's book and bring the attitude and intensity of an athlete to our Personal training this week.
