AVOID ADVICE FROM THOSE WITH VERY STRONG OPINIONS

The fitness industry is rife with gurus and zealots who will push their agenda for money, notoriety or an ego boost.

If you are training for health and wellness into old age it comes down to making positive (sometimes harder) choices. Cooking a meal instead of ordering a takeaway, learning a new movement instead of training the same every week or going to bed earlier so you don't need a pre workout before you train. If you take the hard road more than you take the easy road you'll probably be a better, healthier, version of yourself.

Heeding advice from those who assure you that there is a shortcut might help in the short term but eventually you'll run out of shortcuts.

BEING HEALTHY IS SIMPLE

Simple isn't always easy.

I think a lot of us over-complicate what it takes to be healthy. For the 99% of us who are not elite level athletes, we don't need to make things so convoluted.

Do these things well:

- SLEEP for 7 to 10 hours per night. This isn't always easy for everyone but you can do a few things to try and help. Setting a bed time and a routine to follow before bed, reducing caffeine intake in the afternoon and limiting screen time before sleep will all help.

- EAT predominantly unprocessed foods. Mainly vegetables of a range of colours, plenty of protein from a range of sources (protein shakes are ok but shouldn't be your first choice) and try to stick to unprocessed grains and carbohydrates as much as you can. It's ok to have treats in moderation!

- MOVE everyday. Take the stairs, walk to the shops, mow the lawn. Exercise with more intensity 3-6 days a week. Choose exercise that you enjoy and it won't feel like a chore and progress that exercise so that it doesn't become stale (go faster, go longer, lift heavier).

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF 🤸

WE'RE ON HOLIDAYS 🎅🍻🎄

What an eventful end to the year!?

I will be on holidays until Monday, January 10th and I'll be keen to get back into it with all off the current team!

For those who need help reaching a goal, or just want to get started in the gym, please send through your enquires and I will get back to you as soon as I can while I'm on break.

Thank you to all of the guys I train with every week! I enjoy my work every day and you all contribute to that 💪

I hope everyone has a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year 🎅🍻🎄

KEEP MOVING 🚜

We've all got a few extra obstacles to overcome when training at the moment but let's try to use it as an excuse to work on something new or something that has been neglected rather than downing tools!

Masks are probably going to be around for a little while so If high intensity sweat sessions are your thing it might be time to try moving outside in the fresh air or it might be be time to slow things down and work on some weaknesses in the gym. When we're back to normal again you'll notice a difference. That niggly pain you usually have after a session might not pop up anymore.

The same goes for those with an injury. You should always come back from an injury having understood what might have caused the injury and with a plan of how you're going to stop that injury from happening again. Very rarely does an injury require complete rest so heading into the gym to work on weaknesses is the best way to keep moving in the meantime!

If you're looking for some ideas on how to change your training during this period get in touch!

HOW'S YOUR PLANK?

How many of these can you do before you drop your bottle? It's not as simple as it looks. Have a go, let me know in the comments, and the winner gets a sticker 😂

Although it's a fun little challenge this is a great core stabilisation exercise. Our core muscles are there to make sure our body is stable and able to absorb pressure while keeping our spine safe. Planks and hovers are a staple of core training but don't always create too much instability. Training our core in positions where our body is having to react and stabilise should be part of your training whether you are a high level athlete or a complete beginner to the gym! If you're wondering how or where to add this into your program get in touch and I can help!

After a very busy period I've been a bit slack on social media so I will try and get back into it to keep everyone up to date with availability and showcase some of the team working through their sessions during the week 💪

BACK FROM HOLIDAY!

After a little break over Easter I am back into the gym!

I have a just few spots in my diary at the moment and hopefully I can squeeze a couple of new Joe's team members in!

45 minute sessions with a weeks individualised program included for $55 per session!

If you think I can help, get in touch!

LOVE YOUR GYM 🏋️‍♀️

Heading into the gym shouldn't be something that causes anxiety! Learning to feel confident when you walk into the weights room is a major step on the way to loving your exercise time!

If you are daunted by the idea of trying something new in the gym or even just walking through the doors, remember that everyone had to start from scratch at some point. Sometimes it just takes a little encouragement to take that first attempt and realise that you would have been fine on your own anyway!

I am all about helping my team feel confident to train independently to create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle!

If you are needing a little help with anything, or if you have any questions get in touch and we can see how we can work together 🤟

BACK TO WORK! 💪

I hope everyone has had a relaxing, if a little rainy, Christmas break!

I am back to work tomorrow! It's going to be a good year and I'm looking forward to seeing some new and old faces after a bit of time off!

If you are looking to get into the gym, or have a goal in mind that an individualised program might help you achieve, get in touch and let's see how I can help you!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! 🥂🍻

It's time for me to pack up for the rest of 2020!

I will be back on the 11th of January 2021 and I'm looking forward to getting back into it with the current team and meeting a few new faces too!

In the meantime I will try and get back to any enquiries or requests as soon as I can so please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions 🤟

DELIVERY FROM SANTA 🎅

If you're stuck for Christmas ideas for a loved one that might be interested in getting into the gym I have gift certificates available for one on one sessions, group sessions or even individualised programs!

Send me through a message if you're interested!

All current Joe's team members will get a bottle handmade by the elves at the north pole and delivered by myself!

I will be taking a break from the 23rd of December until the 11th of January and will endeavour to get back to any enquiries during that period as quickly as I can!

WORLD KINDNESS DAY ❤️
nusport are doing an amazing job spreading the joy today!

I'm very proud of the friendly culture at our gym and it's something a lot of members comment on. Let's keep it up!

If you see another gymmer looking like they're struggling unloading a heavy bar, setting up a machine or squat rack, give them a hand and see if karma gets you back with a little treat down the road!

VARIATION KEEPS THINGS INTERESTING

I hear a lot of people say they don't like coming into the gym because it's boring. For some people it just doesn't have the excitement that competitive sport brings. What certainly doesn't help is getting stuck doing the same exercises every week without progression or variation!

If you're starting to find yourself in a plateau in regards to the weight you are pushing or even just in motivation to head into the gym it might be time to change things up!

Contact me if you want some advice on how to keep your program interesting! I'd love to help! 💪
