Throw back to 23 years ago when I bought a one tic

Throw back to 23 years ago when I bought a one ticket to Lima and had a couple of thousand dollars in cash, no credit card, no phone, no email address, one little rucksack and no real plan or agenda.

Back then if you wanted to do the Inca trail you could just hire a shitty tent from Cuzco and rock up & walk it with no guides.. it felt such an adventure. I got lost after 3 days .. but got there eventually! .. the fun part of the Inca trail isn’t the ending (as spectacular as it #macchupicchu is ).. it was the journey.

Among other fun stuff I ended up being caught up a civil war in Bolivia, had to get out of the country within hours, organising a wild party in Buenos Aires, got in a very dangerous situation in a favela in Rio and generally spent these months being young, naive and open to whatever happened.

This solo South American adventure wasn’t my first or my last .. but on today’s throwback post I wanted to remind myself and others stumbling upon this ramble; that the destination is rarely that important. Be you seeing the world or on a mission to get fit, rich, successful etc.. it’s the journey that teaches us the biggest lessons.. and it’s the journey which is the most fun.

If you want to be mindful, present and grounded - things we know are good for our mental health.. then conciously enjoying the journey and not getting so wrapped up in “goals” isn’t a bad way of living.

A couple more random kettlebell moves. On my stori

A couple more random kettlebell moves. On my stories there’s a link to a little video I made of 33 #kettlebell exercises to try.. some are for power, others for strength, endurance and/or coordination. Some are fluffy, some are hardcore.

I’ve always been a fan of allowing play/experimentation time to all my clients (and my own) training programs

. It’s important to try new things and move in new ways when it comes to fitness.. otherwise training gets stale and boring.

Here are 3 Kettlebell exercises you may not know a

Here are 3 Kettlebell exercises you may not know and 1 you do. I’m using a 12kg with a wide/fat grip. If you’re new to kettlebells, but can do a handful of push ups and train regularly then best use an 8kg. Also get an iron ones, plastic coated ones break. I’ve already broken 2 cheap ones since March. 🤫

1: Push-Pulls - for triceps, chest & forearms.
2. Crunch Pull Overs - for lats and abs
3. Invented Press - Dor grip, forearm and shoulders
4. Swings - Posterior chain & cardio

Kettlebells are a particularly handy tool if you’re training at home. They are so versatile and useful for a multitude of strength & conditioning goals.
So 9 years ago I used to lead/teach the REP’s qualification on kettlebell instruction to personal trainers and I would always remind them to build up their clients skills and not get overexcited and do all the ballistic/complex moves in one workout. Swings, Turkish gets ups, lunging chops, snatches etc done within one workout to failure will kill the CNS. Training should be considered (unless you’re mainly focusing on mental resilience .. then just throw it all in without any programming and have fun !).

If you’re not doing weights much at the moment, then you can use kettlebells like a dumbbell and do tricep extensions, goblet squats, bent over rows. Romanian Deadlifts etc too. With my clients I like doing a mix of ballistic and controlled movements.

I’m going film a 30-45 minute tutorial on kettlebells over the weekend. As per my story last night I’m creating more useful and practical content to help you and others who follow me more... so if there are any KB moves you want me to explain.. let me know. 💪🏼

There are many things we just can’t control and

There are many things we just can’t control and this lockdown/Covid thing is effecting everyone in so many different ways and will continue to do so for a while.

One of the things I’ve being doing recently to help my mental health is to get significantly fitter. Running (for me) is one aspect of this. My biggest running achievement ever was running some ultra marathons when I was 29. That was nearly 15 years ago. And I’ve barely run since!.. so as part of my YouTube challenge (see danrobertsTV) I’ve done more running over the last 25 days than in the entire previous 12 months! - including several 10k’s, a couple of long trail runs runs, a couple of sprint sessions and 2 of the longest runs I’ve done in 13 years; (a couple of pretty painful 20+ milers)- It’s amazing how the body remembers & adapts to the stimulus it’s subjected to! Your body is the same as mine... when you push it.. it will adapt.

This leads to my to the main point, which I touched upon during my latest podcast chat with @kimingleby . Past achievements are meaningless. Being able to run 5k today pain free with ease is more useful than being able to run 50k 15 years ago! As I age, I don’t want my biggest athletic and sporting achievements to be mere memories!. I want my biggest achievements to be what I can do today and what I can do tomorrow. With this on mind I’ve set myself some big goals related to my fitness and what my body can do.

It’s very popular on social media to love your body no matter what. I don’t think this is always helpful. Our bodies aren’t objects they are part of us and we humans often have a habit of over complicating matters while also missing the nuances. The relationship you have with your body is so very important to explore.. but this can’t be done passively. To better appreciate our body and our mind-body connection, we must physically push ourselves and seek change.

My plea is to be honest with yourself. If you don’t like how you body looks, feels or performs don’t ignore it or pretend that your don’t care. Own it and make changes. I think YOUR body wants to be fitter than it is, so show it some love, cultivate an athletic mindset and remember it’s never to late.

Having a podcast is a great excuse to talk to people I like and admire. I’ve known @kimingleby for many years now and she’s wonderful coach, speaker, athlete and author. Please check out my latest episode as her empathy and wisdom shines through!

I’m sure you’ll take away some valuable lessons to help your own wellbeing, your business and possibly your mindset regarding this pandemic. There’s link to this podcast episode in my bio + on stories. Enjoy x
