The Biggest Exercise Mistake I Made this Week
These days I’ve become much better at listening to what my body is trying to tell me. If I’m having a flat day I’ll program myself a less intense gym workout, if I’m feeling a bit rundown I’ll up the greens and supplements in my diet and if my body wants a little chocolate – well, as you know by now, I give it that too.

Adventure Race Workout 1
So in case you hadn’t noticed, since the Tough Bloke Challenge a week ago I’ve developed a little thing for adventure races. Getting down and really really dirty with mates can be quite a bonding experience, but one thing I’ve learnt is that ordinary workouts simply don’t prepare you for knee high mud, monkey bars, tyre-jumping, rope climbing and wall clambering. No sirree, this kind of hell deserves it’s own special kind of training.
Five Reasons to Get Yourself a Training Partner
My brother and his fiancé have been visiting for the past few days which is super cool for a lot of obvious reasons, but one thing I wasn’t counting on was how awesome it is to have someone to train with.

Well, it would seem you’re not alone. According to the 2011-12 Australian Health Survey, a whopping 63% of Australian adults are classed as overweight or obese, which would indicate that there’s a heck of a lot of people out there forgoing exercise in favour of extra sleep, boozy lunches, longer work hours or any other of the myriad excuses that us personal trainers hear daily.

Sunday Confession
I have a confession to make. Despite all my good intentions, I did not manage to fit either a run or a circuit session in today. I know, I know, I’m as disappointed in myself as you are.
