It’s Thursday and we have our front lights back!
Thursday is about mixing simple, effective strength and conditioning movements in a continuous or interval style session similar to, what’s it called? …….., no not that one, it’s ……….., not that either, athletic ability and fitness. Before brand names were involved 🤣. Come and join in if you’re in the Dunsop area.

It was wonderful to have Hetty join us for our last Flow session.
This is always a favourite way to wrap up the year and look forward to festivities and the New Year.
Hetty is a fantastic Hypnotherapist, and brings a beautiful atmosphere into the session.

Park Play and running seems to be my movement life at the moment and I have no complaints except slipping of the top of a wall stile! Landed like a cat though. All the years of mixed movement training!

The person is extremely interesting, we for so long have treated the body, the brain and the mind as separate; and yet they are all one. And even subcategories that we treat the parts with individual treatments!
As all trainers, nutritionist, therapist you always get ask some similar questions, one such question is “What more important Exercise or Nutrition?” Straight away a sub category is born and all the quotes come in- “your cant out train a bad diet” - “I just train so I can eat cake” - “I don't need to watch what I eat, I just work out, and always look good” (the last one should be said in a dumb macho voice!!! :)
In essence this is where I jump in neither nutrition or exercise are more important and if they are the only 2 things your working on you may be far from gaining the optimal.
You simply cannot train for 1hr / day and make up for a sedentary lifestyle. It will help, it will definitely help, but it doesn't make up for it!
At Optimal Adaptation alongside specialty fitness sessions that vastly assess, you as a person, not your body, or your brain, or your mind, you and apply the correct stimulus to get the results you want. We also supply facilitation in your Health and Nutrition, with ways of optimising how and when you receive light, how to take advantage of what the earth offers you in terms of electrons, how to limit factors that are affecting your person, and how to eat in the BEST way in terms of how you have evolved!!!!
Most of all we offer the guidance to build the habits to achieve success in the program!!!!!
If that's not enough!
