Memory Monday

More memories from my life.

1. Afghanistan, Sangin (Fob Robinson) 2006. One of the most kinetic operational tours I experienced during my time in the military.
2. Afghanistan 2008. First two weeks in the country, familiarisation patrols. IED strike and our boss seriously injured.
3. My crazy gang. This was at my son-laws birthday. They made me grey!
4. Afghanistan 2008, just informing the operation room I was injured and needed withdrawing from the FOB. A serious twisted ankle 🤣, ally!
5. Cyprus 2019, I hated that uniform 🤣.
6. My grand-daughter's arrival. This was something special and is always special when I see here.

What memories do you have planned to create?

Are you able to make these memories. share some of your memories.

Meet Our Super Emma!

Always smiling and gives high energy each session her. In some cases I have to tell her to ease off!

I have been coaching Emma during the classes at RT Fitness for some time now. She has been with me online for around 6 months. Her main goals to move well, be pain free, get strong and manage her weight.

She has steadily lost weight but her strength has seen some massive increases! Estimated 1 Rep Max deadlift of 124kg! Back squat 82kg 1 Rep Max.

The best thing? Being able to move pain free! This for me outweighs everything. Pain free movement daily is key.

So join me in celebrating Emma's strength and being a little powerhouse!

Well done buddy!

What Has Changed Since My Shred At 50?

Basically I have longer hair and gained weight! 🤣

I finished my shred on December 22nd, roughly three months ago. So whats changed?

So I started the shred at 74kg give or take and finished at 65.4kg and 13% body fat. I have not tracked my food since but just watching what I eat. 65kg was never going to be sustainable for sure and I am currently at 68kg. This brings me in the normal weight range and allows me to look in some kind of shape and look fuller. I do not feel tired or hungry and I feel I have balance.

My training has changed a little. I was trying to get ready for a HYROX (failed there didnt you Schofield!), but some old injuries keep biting me in the ass! I still conduct a balance of strength training and aerobic training.

As we get older, it is not about looking jacked. It's about health and wellbeing. If you focus on a programme for a while, no doubt you can get in some great shape for sure but I would say, focus on creating some good habits. These are key.

So after the shred, it has been about me enjoying training again, having a goal. Ill admit my training has not been perfect over the last 4 weeks and my sleep has been s**t! I just have to roll with the punches at the moment and get ready for my next start. Life comes first sometimes!

How's your training going at the moment? Had any failures like me?

New Programmes Coming Soon

As you probably aware I have my Chair Exercise Programme being launched on the 30th of March.

This includes a 8 week Chair Exercise Programme and some nutritional education. This is aimed at the older generation to help them improve their movement and education to reduce any health implications and improve their quality of life.

I have also created a Couch to 5km. In my opinion, these programmes are great, but they lack some resistance and mobility training to help improve performance and reduce the risk of injury. This is a 12 week programme with added lower limb strength. This will be launched later in the year, as we know as it gets warmer more people want to get out running.

Finally, as I move back into the Strength and Conditioning field, I will be offering Youth Athletic Development Programmes. These are a little more comprehensive and personalised. This includes:

✅Testing
✅Analysis and programming
✅Coaching and mentoring
✅Retest and monitoring

I also have biomechanics assessments, which include:

✅Detailed movement analysis
✅Sprint mechanics review
✅Strength assessment
✅Video analysis feedback
✅Injury risk screening
✅Written performance report

I am so excited to be getting back to Strength and Conditioning. Yes, it has been great helping people lose weight and improving their health. But I am fundamentally a S&C Coach, with tools and knowledge about human performance.

Interested in learning more about S&C and working with me?
Message me for further details.

If you think anyone would benefit from these programmes, tag or share for them.

Chair Exercises

Let's keep with this weeks theme, chair exercises!

Chairs offer stability, balance, a way to regress the exercises and a safety mechanism when doing these exercise.

Here is a taster of our chair exercise programme. The good old push up.

Simple exercises, maximum impact!

Imrpove strength, coordination and if you do not need your walking stick anymore, regain your freedom.

Know anyone that might benefit from this? Tag them.
Think this might be useful for the wider audience, share it.
Think this might be for you comment "CHAIR" to chat more.

I used to think walking sticks were a must as I got older, but then I found something simple that changed everything. Chair exercises aren't just for the elderly—they're a game changer for anyone wanting to regain strength and independence.

Brad Schoenfeld recently shared a study where older adults doing leg extensions from a chair saw such improvement that some even ditched their walking sticks. Imagine what a daily routine of simple chair exercises could do for you or someone you care about.

I've created a chair exercise programme designed not just for seniors but anyone with limitations wanting to get stronger. Know someone who could benefit?

Tag them and let's get moving together.

Meet My Old Man.

Meet my old man, Terry. Made me the man I am today, granted I am a mullet wearing tit with earrings and a nose piercing. He must be proud of his work! 🤣 He made a worse job on our kid 🤣.

My old man has worked all his life in the building trade, absolutely grafted his arse off. But recently, he has semi-retired, his activity levels have reduced. He has a hip replacement that makes walking very difficult.

In terms of his food, he doesn't know a calorie from his arse! But it is not his fault, no one has showed him and for some people it can be a mine field. I have tried to help the poor chap but he struggles.

Now I have been meaning to get him more active and help to educate him with calories etc. Yep, life gets in the way and I am a crap son! But recently I have created a chair exercise programme for someone who has really benefited from just simple movements. So this got me thinking, someone like my dad who generally lives at home alone, I can help with a chair exercise programme and some education to help them improve their quality of life and reduce any health implications.

So the launch of the my chair programme with some simple education for people who want to make a little change and improve their health will be coming soon. 30th March is the launch day. It is aimed for the older generation, but really to help people get moving. The cost will be dirt cheap, main thing is to help people.

So a simple chair programme with nutritional education and maybe some recipe ideas, to help people move onto body weight exercises, so they can live life to the max! They will also be put into a group and they can chat, kinda like a community. If they are local, nothing stopping them meeting for a coffee.



So if you know someone, who might benefit from this, drop me a message or comment "CHAIR" and I will reach out.

Memory Monday! Just wanted to share some of my fond memories from my time in the military.
1. Canada 1995, climbing Mount Oliver. Here you see me conducting some rope climbing.
2. Basic training in 1993! Young whipper. ATR Litchfield.
3. The famous Canada parachuting course. Did you really visit Canada if you didn't do parachuting!
4. Jumps course. 2003 was a busy year, Iraq war straight onto my Fire Support Team course (was OP assistant course back then), then straight onto my jump course. Feet didn't touch the ground.
5. Vegas baby! Not sure what year, possibly 1996. Test fired .50 Cal and .338 sniper rifles. Got to go for some ally trips.
6. Iraq war with our team and some US Marines. 2003.
7. Pre-parachute selection course, 2002.
8. Trying to look ally in Bosnia 1995. Part of Recce Platoon. Some great guys and great memories.
9. Kosovo 2005. Great tour conducting covert surveillance. Some cracking guys. Great memories with some great people.

The thing is, I haven't stopped wanting to make memories. I still want to have a great quality of life and my body (currently) allows me to plan more memories.

How is your quality of life?
Is your health stopping you from doing what you want?

Don't let your health and well-being stop you from enjoying your life. It's not about getting muscles, it's not about being a long distance runner. It is about improving your health to allow you to enjoy it.

Think it is too late? Never! Comment or DM "COACH" to chat further.

What is a status symbol when you hit 50?

We all want nice things, a nice car, a nice watch or even go on holiday.

When you get older, those things really don't matter. Have a nice car? But struggle to walk to in or to climb into it without being in pain.

Have a nice watch? Thats great, but you haven't got the energy to show it off when out.

Go on a nice holiday? But you struggle to walk around and see the beautiful city you have chosen to visit.

After 50, things like getting out of a chair without struggling becomes a goal. After 60, walking without getting tired or being in pain becomes a goal. At 70, simple things like walking to the kitchen to make a coffee becomes difficult.

Nice things are great, but quaility of life becomes more important. When we are younger we think we are invincible.

What does this mean? You are never too old to start and try to improve your quality of life. You do not need to go to the gym, simple body weight exercises can help.

Want to learn more? Drop me a message, I might have something in the future that might be useful for you.

First article on my new website. Been a while.

Stop guessing about your training progress. Without clear data, you’re relying on hope, not facts. At Elite Front Coaching, our human performance testing pinpoints exactly where you stand and what …

Think you need hours in the gym after 50 to see health benefits? Think again.

Just 15 minutes of targeted exercise can lower your resting heart rate, boost cardiovascular output, and reduce blood pressure. Plus, you'll move better and ease pain.
