Day 4:.
15 burpees for the 15 people who committed su***de due to mental ill health on this day last year.
Fact:
Among the general population 20.6% of people have had suicidal thoughts at some time, that’s 1/5 of our population😱 6.7% have attempted su***de and 7.3% have engaged in self-harm.
Each day I will present a new fact, all of which are extremely alarming.
Have you completed your 15 reps yet? If not please go and get it done, takes 30 seconds! Tag, share, like, spread the word!.
The fitness industry has a huge role to play in the improvement and treatment of mental ill health and I want everyone in the industry to stand up and get involved. Our facilities may be shut but our work has not stopped. Each day I will nominate 3 fitness professionals to join in with the challenge and complete 15 reps, either as a one off or every day like myself, for fun and to also allow us to stand together and offer our help and support collectively. Let’s raise as much money and awareness as possible, together. Today I nominate:

Raising money and awareness for Mind Mental Health Charity💙.
Last year (2019) was a record high number of su***de deaths resulting from mental health disorders. Unfortunately, I think it’s only inevitable that this year will be a year like no other.
Now, more than ever before, people are struggling. Each and every day is getting harder and harder. Due to the current restrictions in place, many people have now lost even the simplest of help methods such as social interaction, seeing friends and family and now also exercise methods such as gyms.
In the year 2019, an average of 15 people per day committed su***de due to mental ill health, with over 90% of those deaths being considered ‘preventable’. Us ourselves can do a huge amount to help those in need but without the support networks in place that are provided by organisations such as Mind, this number would be substantially higher.
Starting today, every single day we continue to be in lockdown I will perform 15 burpees to represent each individual who took their own life last year on that exact day. I am reaching out and asking that anyone who would like to join in with this challenge, or would simply like to donate towards this fantastic cause, if you are in a financial position to do so, please donate. Every pound will go a long way to helping so many, and if we can save just 1 life with our efforts and generosity, then this will all have been worth it!.
💥As an added incentive to join in, whoever completes their 15 burpees in the craziest and best location will win 4 FREE PT sessions and a 4 week training program, a prize worth over £150!!💥
Simply record yourself, post itand tag my page and I will make my judgement the day lockdown is lifted! In supermarkets, on parks, on top of cars, in the sea, get creative and lets do our bit to make a change💪🏼.
As always, I would appreciate it hugely if you could please take 30 seconds out of your day to repost this, tag friends and family, spread the word and get as many people involved in this challenge and fund raiser as possible! .
The link for donating is below!
Thank you and I hope you are all keeping safe and well💙

Weʼre raising money to help Mind continue their amazing work with those suffering from mental ill health during these extremely difficult times. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

Lockdown 2.0.
So, here we go AGAIN..
Just because the country has stopped does not mean that your progress and achievements must stop also! You are legally allowed to exercise outside with one other person and therefore PT will continue! .
I have specific days and times available for sessions, and also 2 locations; cleveleys by JD Gym, and Poulton park. For training kit I have 2 lightweight barbells with 50kg worth of weight plates, a 12kg kettlebell and resistance bands as well as our natural surroundings such as the beach. Sessions are of course weather dependant but a little rain is no excuse!.
For all enquires, including time slots and pricing, please either comment below or drop me a message! Remember the huge benefits of exercise on mental as well as physical health and now more than ever we need to understand that and take advantage of that!.
Don’t let lockdown take even more away from you. Sign up today before all spaces are gone💪🏼.
Please like, tag and share this post with as many people as you can to spread the word and let’s help as many people as we can! Thank you for your continued support and I ask that you please take 30 seconds so help me out and get as many people involved with this post as possible.
Thank you, stay safe💙.
P.s. the weather won’t be like this this time around🙄

And I’m BACK🔥.
I have taken time off social media, tried to take myself away from the hugely negative vibes that surround it and put all off my time into my family and work!.
I have a new drive, a new fire inside and I’m more hungry than ever before! Time to change, time to improve and time to get to where I have always wanted to get!.
Let’s get this dad bod gone and get in my best ever shape! Can’t be looking like this when I have at home looking absolutely unreal😍.
I will log all my training, food and drop some nuggets of knowledge for you all too! .
LETS GO🔥💙

Post workout🏋🏻‍♂️.
Big arm session done, now for my protein and fast digesting carbs🤙🏼 (there was a few more sweets than this but I was late taking the picture🤷🏻‍♂️).
I am going to start documenting more of my own training and my routine. Partly for accountability and partly to educate a little on physique changes without the boring strict lifestyle that is so often associated with it!.
What’s your go to post workout set up??

Game day.
We are back and ready to go and let me tell you, this place is BUZZING.
The journey starts now, make sure you don’t miss the bus. PT spaces very limited, drop me a message now to secure a consultation.

Return to the gym🏋🏻‍♂️.
It has been a roller coaster past few months for everyone! The long awaited day for the gyms to reopen is just around the corner! The last thing you want is to return and then be out injured for weeks and miss out on even more training time .
Your return to the gym is a pivotal moment in your training journey. However your progress isn’t based upon lifting the heaviest weights possible in your first week back. Return effectively and safely and achieve continuous progress for the foreseeable future .
Learn to train smarter .
