October and back in action

Where does the time go? Summer and now Autumn what happened to all my plans? Well I did do most of them but the cycle and camp over night never came about. I have really enjoyed being less busy in the studio this summer, people away on holiday means I can catch up on reading and researching my favorite topics, the human body in movement and nutrition. I am about to give my first talk on Functional Training and movement in Manchester so I am looking forward to that more about that next time. Enjoy your Autumn x

Augusts is upon us and so most of my free time I try to get outside and enjoy the sun and my garden, getting as much vitamin D as I can which as you know helps our immune systems and as we don't get a lot of sun so I'm out in it as much as I can, blog permitting.

A functional life for always which means dont belive a word I say

 Hello to all of you out there in Functional training land, what ever that means? this is a great time of year for me and this months video blog says it all. I ask you all to question just like a child does why? Why is it that humans are getting fatter and yet most of the time eating low fat diet products. Don't just take it for written that what you are told is always the truth.

 Mavis showing us how it is done in the studio last month have a look at her with the TRX simply brilliant inspiration to us all.

Train well train smart and enjoy

 Hey its summer! The sun has been shinning and I am really enjoying my garden at the moment salad crops abound and not many slugs, strange but true only a few holes in a few leaves. My training is a bit erratic at the moment but am coming to terms with understanding what I need to do to keep my fitness level and my health at a good level. If you want to know more on whats happening here below is my brief or not so brief June update.

Above video is of body tribes I like the simple moves and the fact they look like they are having fun then

below is another body tribe clip of a warm up.

  Now this clip below just reminds me to keep my movement patterns flowing and to keep my flexibility training up along with that all important functional strength training

 What ever your age training should be fun and challenging, so with the body the brain gets a workout to. Enjoy your movement x

The New Functional training studio

Hello to all of you out there in Functional training land. Times they are a changing, as the song goes, and for me there has been a huge change, scary in one way but exciting in another.

The Studio lots of room and light

The TRX hanging without shame, it has pride of place
in the middle of the room

 Introducing the new studio in Bangor. How lovely it is too have space to move around in and with comfort, Great for the TRX 360'movement, I have increased my Vipr range we now have a 6 kg to 20 kg now.

New to the range of functional workout tools are light club bells great for hand grip, shoulder stabilization and shoulder range of movement. Have a look at the videos the clubs bells I have, are a lot lighter for a great introduction. Below the studio are two physiotherapist and two hypnotherapist,  we also have a great nutritionist, (smoothies to die for), it is sooooo great to be with a team of professionals who love what they do.

  Enjoy your movement.
