The harder choices will reward you 🙏🏼💪🏼

My values on coaching movement, sport, health and fitness might surprise you;

💪🏼 discipline > motivation
💪🏼 consistency > sets & reps
💪🏼 stress = stress, whether physical, cognitive or emotional
💪🏼 anchor around something you love
💪🏼 frequency > duration
💪🏼 it feels physical, but it's all mental
💪🏼 food, relationships, and sleep > calorie burning
💪🏼 move slow most of the week + move fast + move heavy once or twice
💪🏼 train the nervous system, not the bicep
💪🏼 programmes are overrated, but behavioural habits are underrated
💪🏼 the body seeks balance, so spice it with variety
💪🏼 nature wins
💪🏼 smile. Seriously, smile. Not only will you lift more and run faster 😉 you'll also look & feel better 😘

Knowing your bigger WHY brings a smile to the daily HOW 👊🏼

- inspiring those close to me, for whatever they choose
- health(ier) and ever learning as I grow older
- stronger, mentally, physically, spiritually

It's good to smile 😃

Feel like I've been hit by a car 😅 maybe because I was...! Pumped just to be at the start line for World Champs AG Sprint Triathlon after some tricky race prep, but very happy with 23rd and 9th Brit on an honest course in 🇪🇸

While out testing the bike, I was taken out from behind by a car. A lot of body maintenance, bike repairing, and police admin 🙈

Getting to a race start is never a one man operation 🙏🏼 A huuuuuuge amount of help from other people even before getting to Spain, let alone once here, thank you so much 😊 🙏🏼 never underestimate the help you support someone with, it goes a long way and one of the strongest ways of uniting fellow beings!

Inspire, not influence.
Do, not think.
Play, not fight.
Be you, no-one else.

Move. Outside. You'll thank yourself today and tomorrow 😘

Starting to wind things up for European Championships (Vichy, September) and World Championships (Malaga, October) 😎

Cranking the sessions up, a subtle art with hurdles like dadding, work, biological ageing (!) and the influx of summer socials 😜

Inspo nothing to do with some events going on in Paris 🙃

Your Movement is your Mindset 🙏🏼
Strong 💪🏼Supple 💪🏼 Stable.... for body, mind and soul... Your body speaks your subconscious - reward your mental resilience with what the body craves, movement 🙌🏼

03/03/2024

Self-Discipline...the most undervalued talent. Whatever your movement ambitions, with self-discipline, arrives consistency, frequency, neural strength, habitual resilience, new behaviours, values, change and a way of life

The struggle up the hill, always ends in a freewheeling enjoyable reward down the other side!

There is no difficulty in life that can't be metaphorically experienced through nature, movement, sport teamwork, competition, or outdoor adventure. The more we experience in these surroundings, the more tolerance we build to those difficult scenarios in life, which we all face from time to time. Get out, move and reap the rewards 😘

There is no opponent.

You are competing against yourself.

Competitiveness with the inspiring connotation is powerful.

Compete with others you get bitter.

Compete with yourself to get better.

Same goes with comparison and judgement 😘

04/10/2023

Whatever your chosen path...... Movement parallels life - Resilience and ever evolving mindsets 💪🏼

Oh, and smile while we're at it!

I have a lot of bikes in my feed. I have a lot of bikes in bedroom too, I mean garage! The list of benefits for cycling are long and well known, but I spend a lot of time conditioning for all things cycling

- quads get strong, but generally short and sticky
- hip flexors in constant flexion, zero lengthening. Sit at your drsk, then exercise in the same position makes no human sense
- MTBs are better but shoulders are rounded, lower back kyphotic, upper back excesseivly kyphotic, neck compressed
- the legs move but as far as sports go, its pretty sedentary
- ankling is fairly minimal, limiting dorsi/plantar flexion. Calves, soleus & achillies strong but stiff
- the lats, pecs, traps all short and weak!
- its linear, horribly horribly linear, abductors lengthen and abductors shorten
- its fixed, especially if clipped, there is no open chain to let the body seek freedom
- the hamstrings are underused, weaken and shorten 😫
- The bike responds to symmetry, yet we are asymmetrical, something will rebel

Before you toss your Victorian invention in the bin, there are so many amazing positives to cycling, you'll be well aware of. Firstly, they're so much fun! And socially getting outside among the elements and the green BUT antidote this shape wi conditioning to regain / remain a healthy human body!
