Wed 22nd Oct

I had a late morning dental appointment today, as a follow up to emergency treatment two weeks ago. I like the people in the dentist but I am often nervous about going, and don’t really want to go, but I KNOW I HAVE TO!!!

Two weeks ago, I tried sensodyne tooth paste but didn’t work, I tried special mouthwash but didn’t work, so there came the time when I had to get it done PROPERLY. And I am VERY GLAD I got it done today, because if you leave problems start and build up with your teeth, then real problems will only keep developing!

As a gym, our aim is to guarantee that process for you, do it right

When we do our programmes, it’s a question of balancing everything out.

Have we got enough mobility in there? Have we got enough strength work? What about endurance? And we have better not forget all the new balance work that will test you in new ways!

Doing things the right way guarantees high levels of fitness for you, high levels of functionality in life, and a feeling that your body has never been better.

Throw in all the extra stuff we are now doing with recovery, and it all adds up to peace of mind that you are performing to your best levels, and after all that effort, you are RECOVERING in the best way possible too.

Tuesday 21st October-Eat right breakfast

Breakfast cereal advertising was heavy when I was growing up. We always had porridge, it was unglamorous but got the job done (and still does). 

Ready brek had a lot more advertising and for a while was the fashionable alternative I remember kids bragging about, but looking back it, had more salt and wasn’t nowhere near as good for us as porridge, but the advert of kids going to school surrounded by imaginary warmth was more than convincing.

I remember the cereals too that looked glitzy, but we now know were loaded with sugar and salt and a ton of other ingredients, they were more expensive and still are, but never really gave you a good start to the day, they gave us little energy and load of chemicals-hardly a recipe to start the day.

We had 2-3 boiled eggs too, the perfect partner to porridge along with “soldiers”, which made the whole thing go down much easier and kept us going till lunch time. What a start!!!

The message is to keep it plain and simple for breakfast, avoid any fancy packaging or heavily funded advertising everywhere, and put into your body what you know works!!

Monday 20th Oct

Focusing on your strengths and what matters most are two powerful monday motivation tools.

You ARE capable of showing up for your workouts, you can do a short workout if needed, you will get coached through your workout and you will be encouraged to get through it. 

ANY kind of workout is good and you know how important Monday is to get going, and create the kind of momentum you NEED for the rest of your week’s challenges to come.

What matters most-You started at the gym because you value your health, and you came to us to make it happen no matter what. When you doubt yourself, remember this at all times.

Remember where you were when you started, remember how far you have come so far, remember what you have achieved, continue to achieve and how great exercise makes you feel, and remember how your good health inspires your whole family and those closest to you every day.
