This week I answer some of the questions you have emailed in. Hope you enjoy!

Are you doing it all wrong? What’s most important to you?

Controversial but hear me out. Would you pass your driving test if you sat it again? Probably not. We picked up a rake of driving habits that we can’t/ won’t shake and would need to go back to basics to eliminate them. Guess what.. same in fitness.

What’s next in the hierarchy? What is a metcon? How does CrossFit actually work?

I think it’s time we respect the hierarchy. We have drifted so far away from the truth and the reality that all types of physical and mental fitness starts with a solid base but are we in denial?

It is good to be back, in this episode I share my views on having a better perspective on training and why you do it. No BS, just harsh honest words.

99.9% of us will not be making it past the Open. The same way that 99.9% of people who sign up for a 5k don’t expect to win the race. The accomplishment is in participating, having fun, and being part of an awesome community.

Do you feel uncertainty in your training journey? Have you ever thought about stopping for a little while? Listen to what I have to say.

Fitness Nutrition Recovery/ Sleep/ Stress/ Mobility Balance These 4 pillars support your Health and within those 4 pillars you need to be.. Consistent Semi Accurate Semi Flexible

Have you thought about your fitness giving you a better return in your later years? The physical pension is just as important as your fiscal pension and you can take care of it in just the same way.

Today I talk to you about a real life event that happened to me which got me thinking about finding that person/ coach outside of your inner circle.

“CrossFit is just randomly programmed workouts that are meant to beat you down,” is a common refrain we hear from anti ’CrossFitters’ regarding workout programming methodology. Here, I express my views.
