I saw thousands of visitors arriving for the Beach Break live festival down pembrey country park earlier, and what a welcome sight they were!
This is bringing a lot of money into a community that has been particularly hard hit by the recession, and many pubs and taxi’s were seen up to their eyes with work earlier, this can only be a good thing because these businesses are either not even open or have little trade during this time. There are not many sustainable businesses in burry port, and this should be a welcome boost for them, despite all the negative comments they have issued in the press!
It always makes me laugh when some small town thinkers think that pembrey is doomed to be a place of sex, drugs and violence this week because of the festival, well ive got news for you, it is being run by a highly professional organisation who have done many such events in the past, and its nice to see a high police presence, sadly lacking in burry port usually. And the funniest thing is, anyone who lives in burry port/pembrey is well aware of the sex, drugs, booze, violence that goes on EVERY weekend here anyway!
My guess is that the event will be run very well, the economy will benefit hugely and the youngsters attending will have fun and entertaining time, what’s wrong with that?
Some people have the same small time thinking to their training, there is only one way to do things, there is a certain amount of time they need to train for, there are only certain movements or exercises they should do etc etc. The lack of variety in one’s training can seriously halt or push back your progress, just because you’re not prepared to do different things from time to time.
If you read through these pages, its encouraged you do different things, i do encourage putting firm foundations down, but this should be supported by varied activities which should also be fun. You should be getting more than sweat out of your workouts, you should be invigorated, energised and totally enthused about your week of training.
It helps too if you live by the coast, which many of you so lets get out there and use the coastal attractions, come on let’s really get out there and do it!!!
Please don’t do the SAME OLD routines every week, train inside AND outside, you will absolutely love it when you get all that fresh air down you, you don’t have to train in front of everyone and nobody likes an audience!
Its a nice week coming up so let’s walk the talk and do it, change it every couple of weeks and show how imaginative you can be, you are literally limited only by your imagination so lets do it!!
