Why?

Just because I love dancing in the kitchen with my boy 🥰

My gym sessions have completely changed - and honestly, so have my priorities.

20/30 years ago, I was all about isolation exercises and bro splits.

Now? My weekly upper body session is entirely focused on movement patterns that actually matter.

Instead of bicep curls, I'm doing pulling movements that help me lift my kids without my back screaming.
Rather than chest flies, I'm working on pushing patterns that keep my shoulders healthy for all those playground activities.

Here's what I've learned: As a dad to 3 little munchkins, movement that replicates what I do each day beats bulging biceps every single time.

My hour in the gym isn't about impressing anyone - it's about making sure I can still throw a ball with my son when he's 15, and hold my own in an arm wrestle, carry shopping in a single trip (cos who wants to be that dad that has to go back and forth to the car, instead of doing it in one like a boss while onlookers stare in awe), and pick up toys off the floor without wincing.

The shift from 'gym muscles' to 'life muscles' has been a game-changer. I'm stronger where it counts, my body feels better day-to-day, and I'm setting a better example for my kids about what real fitness looks like.

What if I told you there's a systematic way to return to activity that works WITH your body's healing process, not against it?

My 4-phase method isn't guesswork - it's designed to match exactly what's happening in your tissues at each stage of recovery.

Phase 1: Normalise the tissue
Phase 2: Load and address deficits
Phase 3: Progressive loading
Phase 4: Return to activity

Each phase has specific activities, intensities, and monitoring protocols. No more hoping you're ready - you'll KNOW you're ready.

This is how you break free from that cycle of feeling better, returning too soon, and ending up back at square one.

Pain costs us far more than we talk about.

Yes, it hurts physically. But what about everything else it steals from us?

The social events you skip because you're uncomfortable.
The family activities you watch from the sidelines instead of joining in.
The evenings spent managing pain instead of connecting with the people you love.

Here's what we don't discuss enough: the emotional toll.
Pain doesn't just affect your body - it affects your relationships, your mood, your sense of self. It robs you of those precious moments that normally recharge your emotional batteries.

Playing football with your kids in the garden.
Going for walks with your partner.
Meeting friends for activities you used to love.

These aren't just "nice to have" moments - they're essential for your mental wellbeing.

Life throws enough challenges at us without pain stealing the good bits too.
And that's a price far too high to pay.

✅You deserve to be fully present for the moments that matter.
✅You deserve to participate in your life, not just survive it.

What moment is pain currently stealing from you?

Time-poor but determined to stay healthy? I get it.

As someone juggling work and family life, I've found something that works for me is a 25-minute bike ride, three times a week, first thing in the morning.

Here's why this works for me - and might work for you too:

✅ It's done before the day derails - No meetings, no kids needing something, no excuses
✅ 25 minutes feels manageable - Not the intimidating hour-long gym sessions that never happen
✅ Instant achievement unlock - By 6.30am, I've already had my first win the day!
✅ Sets the tone - I'm sharper, more focused, and honestly... a better dad and one that's not looking in the mirror reminising of the days when I was a little less fluffy around the edges

The best part?
It's not about becoming a cycling champion. It's about consistency over perfection. Three short rides beat the gym membership you never use.

Sometimes the smallest commitments create the biggest changes.

What's a 'non-negotiable' 25 minutes that could set you up for the win and keep you sane?

Why does your pain come back the moment you return to normal activity?

Because your body goes through three distinct healing stages - and most people return to full activity during stage TWO, when the tissue is still weak and disorganised.

You feel better, so you think you're ready. But underneath, your body is still rebuilding. It's like returning to work when the scaffolding is still up on a building site.

Understanding these healing stages is crucial if you want to optimise your recovery and stop that frustrating cycle of reinjury.

This isn't just theory - it's the science behind why timing matters more than you think when it comes to getting back to the activities you love.

The crew is quite a bit bigger now!

But those faces are quite a big motivation for me to keep doing what I do. It's strange how when times are tough you can take such strength from people so small 🥰🥰

8,000 steps a day. Non-negotiable.

Here's why this became my baseline after years of learning the hard way.
It's all well and good smashing an hour in the gym 2-3 times a week, but if I'm sitting on my backside for the rest of the time - driving to work, desk for 8 hours, driving home, collapsing in front of the TV - it's no wonder my trousers get tighter and I feel absolutely shattered.

I realised I was fooling myself. Two gym sessions don't cancel out 60+ hours of being sedentary.

Add work stress, family chaos, or a rubbish night's sleep into the mix, and before I know it, I'm feeling pretty awful. Things start aching, I'm more of a grumpy dad than I want to be, and my energy is non-existent.

The game-changer? Prioritising daily movement alongside my structured training.

My weekly minimum is simple:
✅ One upper body session
✅ One lower body session
✅ Three short bike rides
✅ 8,000 steps every single day

This keeps my body moving consistently, not just during 'exercise time.' Anything above this? Bonus points. Superhero status unlocked.

The truth is, your body doesn't care if you crushed legs on Monday if you then spend Tuesday to Sunday barely moving.

Consistency beats intensity every time.

what are your daily movement non-negotiables?
