Does your Exercise Programme look like this?

Fitness in Dublin

I've seen some pretty strange things in gyms in my time. From people running backward on treadmills to weird and dangerous versions of common exercises. It seems people are always looking for a 'new method'. Even personal trainers are guilty of this, they jump on the latest fitness craze thinking that this 'gimmick' is gonna help them sell their services better. However the only thing that is going to help me sell my services better is getting better results and ensuring my clients and camp members stay healthy and injury free. That means you won't see me making people balance on inflatable balls or standing on a vibrating platform. These are circus acts and have never shown to be more effective than conventional training, in fact they have been shown to be less effective!! I like to … [Read more...]

A Picture tells a thousand inches

November 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I accidentally stumbled across something the other day that has really got me thinking. I'm currently running a 21 day body fat blitz for my advanced fitness camp members. There are many requirements that they must agree to before being allowed in and one of those requirements is to send me their before photos. My reasons for this is that the visual changes people make are far more motivating than a few numbers. For example one of my clients has lost 5 stone. While that sounds impressive, the picture here is far more impressive. Tracking your changes visually is also a very accurate way of judging how you are doing especially if you only have a few pounds to lose or want to 'tone up' Again the picture below says it all. This girl lost inches and body fat, tightened up all over yet … [Read more...]

The 99% – Good or Bad??

Fitness in Dublin

We've all seen the protests around the world, Occupy Wall street, Occupy Dame street etc. The protestors are claiming to be the 99%. And yet the 1% are making all the decisions and have all the money. In this case most of society are part of the 99% and it's a great thing that they are fighting for. But, forgetting about economics and politics, I want to explain why I believe you should aim to be part of the 1% when it comes to your fitness and health. If you follow the crowd you are most likely going to end up exactly like them. Unfit, tired, frustrated, overweight, feeling down, etc. You'll tend to look for enjoyment elsewhere especially from food and drink. I know so many people that just live for the weekend. Don't get me wrong I enjoy my life and love a good night out but I … [Read more...]

Bodyweight Fitness

October 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

One of my colleagues in the UK wrote about bodyweight fitness recently and pointed out something very obvious to me yet maybe not so obvious to the general exerciser. Gyms spend a fortune on fancy equipment and the latest exercise fads. From spinning to treadmills and power plates to weight machines these commercial gyms have shaped the public's view on how to exercise. Unfortunately this limits what we believe we can do ourselves. I was interviewed for the Irish Examiner the other day and the journalist was a keen runner but as we went through the interview she realised there was a lot more she could be doing to improve her fitness, strength and health. For the last 5 years I have been running fitness camps in dublin and the majority of our sessions are based on bodyweight exercises. … [Read more...]

Eat More and Stop Exercising

If you read my How to Get Fat Post you'll have seen that what most people do for weight loss is counter productive. Weight loss is only hard because people make it hard by limiting their fat burning processes. Eat more and Stop Exercising is the anti-diet. It goes against everything we have been taught about losing weight. But it works. Not only that but it works long term. Here's how: 1. Eat More Eat more good fats, more quality protein, more vegetables, more often and drink more water. - People don't get fat by eating these, you probably aren't eating enough and are therefore quite low in fat burning foods and hormone optimizing nutrients. The problem with dieting all the time is that your hormones get screwed up. Then each time you try to lose … [Read more...]
