Where's YOUR Fit?

WHO LIKES A COLD DIP? 🥶
☆
I'll freely admit to start with it was a challenge, but it's become my 'go to' way to start my day.
☆
There's a list of well documented reasons why cold exposure is good for you, but here's what I feel after a 3min cold shower, or dip in the wintery ocean.
☆
🥶 Awake - I feel VERY awake!

🥶 Present - Getting cold can take some serious concentration and control. To get through it you need to stay in the moment and just be. Slow your breath and calm your mind.

🥶 Accomplished - like I've overcome an obstacle or dominated a challenge, which I have!

🥶 Calm - this one hits a couple of minutes after I've finished and start to warm up. I feel all of the above emotions and feelings wrapped into one.

Let me know in the comments how YOU feel when you get cold!

💜 GRATITUDE 💜
☆
I want to say a huge THANK YOU to Robby and Liam at Fitness Hacks in Cockburn Central for having me along to the official opening of their gym.
☆
The open day was a complete success with physical challenges, a food drive for local charity spinal screening from and massage and Normatec compression from myself .
☆
Last but definitely not least, thanks to the lovely Sarah for the above photo.
You're an absolute weapon and it was a pleasure to meet you 🌞

🥳 HERE WE GO AGAIN! 🥳
☆
Not long ago my good mate ran the Rottnest Island Marathon. During his training for the marathon, I accompanied him on some big runs (the last one was 35km) so when he crossed the line on the day, all I could think was, "why aren't I running with him?!" 🤦‍♂️
☆
So when he registered for the Perth Marathon, the idea of not crossing the line with him wasn't an option.
☆
It's going to be tough though as I've started working part time as a labourer with a stonemason, not to mention I'm nearly 48 years old!
☆
So in the coming weeks of training I'll be posting my training progress and how I go about my recovery process.
☆
🔥 Enjoy your day, finish strong 🔥
☆

🔥 RECOVERY IS FITNESS 🔥
☆
These photos were taken less than 5 months apart and at the time I was working permanent night shift 🤢🥴
☆
So how did I make such a big change?
☆
By training SMART.
☆
By letting my body RECOVER as needed.
☆
As I've become older I've realised that RECOVERY is literally half of the equation.
☆
Over the coming weeks and months I'll be giving you some of my thoughts on both passive and active recovery.
☆
Play it smart, embrace your downtime.
☆
🔥 RECOVERY IS FITNESS 🔥
☆

ALMOST A REPOST!
☆
Last year I posted a photo of the exact same sign.
☆
Did I take my own advice? What happened through the year?
☆
Well yes I did and I ended up starting a business that I'm passionate about.
☆
Providing committed recreational and competetive athletes with recovery massage and NormaTec compression treatments.
☆
It's simple and highly effective.
☆
If you're training for a run, crossfit comp or triathalon and you want to add a secret weapon to your training arsenal, DM me and we'll talk all things training and recovery🔥 💪🔥
