Did you know that rolling the bottom of your feet can actually loosen up your hamstrings and lower back?

A study found that just a few minutes of foot rolling using a tennis all improved flexibility by over 2cm (without even stretching the back or legs).

It’s another reminder that your body works as one connected system.

When your feet move better, everything above moves better too.

Grab a ball and give it a go… your back will thank you!

Follow for more simple movement and health tips that help you feel, move and function better.

First BBQ of the season.

Hopefully this sun stays out for the long weekend.

We will be closed on Monday, but we are open on Saturday morning until 12 if you would like a checkup.

Have a great long weekend.

P.S. I’ve been listening to this song on my walk this afternoon. It’s one of my all time favorites. Adagio for Strings. Classic.

Are you living like a thermometer or a thermostat?

A thermometer reacts to what’s happening, a thermostat sets the tone.

When it comes to your health, are you reacting to pain… Or creating an environment for your body to thrive?

“First you create your habits. Then your habits create you.”

Every action you repeat is shaping your future self, for better or worse.

Start small, stay consistent, and let your habits build the version of you that you want to become.

The question you need to ask yourself is: What are your current habits building you into?

I just uploaded a new blog post. This post is about how to 'stay in the game' as you get older. This is based on a quote from Dr Peter Attia.

I hope you find it useful.

As usual, if you have any questions, reach out. I am here to help.

Discover why Dr. Peter Attia says the goal of aging is to “never leave the game.” Learn how to adapt your exercise routine, stay active, and build resilience for lifelong health and independence.

Dr Peter Attia says: “The aim of the game as you get older is to never leave the game”.

That doesn’t mean you need to train the same way you did in your 20s. It means being smart, adapting, modifying, and finding ways to keep you in the game.

Because the real goal isn’t perfection, it’s participation.

It’s staying in the game, long-term.

If you need some help getting back in the game, reach out.

PS. Sorry about the road noise. I filmed this on my lunchtime walk whilst it was raining as well.

Did you know better sleep isn’t just about what you do at night?

Research shows that regular exercise could improve both the quality in duration of your sleep. The catch? It doesn’t happen after just one workout, the benefits build slowly over weeks of consistency.

So if you’re not sleeping well, make sure you are exercising, but don’t give up after a day or two. Keep moving, keep active and let your body do what it designed to do at night: rest, recover and recharge.

I’m currently reading a book called “limitless” by Jim Kwik.

In the book, Jim talks about some research by Dr. BJ Fogg about how to create lasting behavioral or habit change.

He said that Dr. Fogg has found that there are only three ways to create lasting change:
1. Have an epiphany.
2. Changing your environment.
3. Taking tiny steps.

Of these 3, number 2 and 3 are probably most likely.

We can change our environment, although it’s not always in our control, but we can definitely make small changes.

I always say making small consistent changes can lead to staggering long-term results, and Dr. Fogg‘s research backs this up.

If you are struggling to create new healthy habits, what’s been your biggest challenge?

A new rug project complete….. Snoopy and Woodstock!

I think this is my best rug so far. I am definitely happy with the carving on this one.

This was the strangest conversation I’ve had at a supermarket…

A lady said to me that I must run a lot because I look athletic, and then compared me to a thoroughbred. The truth is… I don’t run at all.

What I do is walk regularly, eat well, and stay consistent with exercise.

Now I don’t know if I look like a thoroughbred (as she suggested) but I’m gonna take it as a compliment.

Healthy habits speak for themselves.
