#NeverStopMoving

Hi There  Do you ever experience the sense that physically you are on top of your game but the rest of our being is just not "there". We usually lose motivation when we feel this way. We usually give up after this. This is where I want to encourage to exercise your soul and mind with your body! This is also why I say that we need to remember we are more than the sum of our parts!  As a Sport Scientist, I remember this when I test my athletes and results are not what was expected, but I see them train every day. As a Personal Trainer, I remember this when clients seem unmotivated and struggle with a programme I know they can master, so we adapt and start talking their mood through :exercising the soul and mind.As I Pilates Instructor, I remember this when my clients seem frustrated and  we just focus on breathing through the movement. Why do you forget that? We are human. We have bad days that does not define our process or what we are doing. When you experience this th

Hi There  Unfortunately we are the the common denominator in ALL our circumstances, so usually the blame moves to us. A better way to say this is that we internalise it like it is our fault. Disclaimer: not everyone does, we do get blamers that are never at fault and then we get the total opposites that no matter what they take blame; then there ate the oblivious one who just don't get any if; lastly there are those in all the groups that do not have the emotional maturity to know what they are feeling and how it affects them and others. That said we have the power to change all of it. Usually we build our own obstacles around us, not our circumstances. Yes, they play a huge role in our lives and how we perceive everything, but we can choose to bend to our surroundings or bend our mind to change how it affects us.  If your circumstances are confining you do not add to it. Free your mind and start focusing within you and make that change happen. Life our life. Make that decision

Hi There I just want to take a step back and review what we have learnt so far. First the terminology and then the muscles we have discussed.

Hi There This week's muscle is part of the Hammy Group.Affectionately known as the Hammys. But let me be clear. The Hammys are THREE SEPARATE muscles of which one is this week's muscle... The Biceps Femoris.By the name we know it has two "heads" or origins like last week's muscle: The Biceps Brachii  . I have to make a confession...I confused the Biceps Femoris with the Rectus Femoris; which is actually part of the Quads🙈🙊. That is why I love this series. It is a great way to review my anatomy. In a way that does not feel like studying. I mean I used to hate to study Anatomy... Especially because to understand it the best you also need to understand a part of physiology. But you have to study this in parts not as a whole.Which makes it hard, because I am a the whole picture person... Anyway, in my line of work we need to know our Anatomy and the functions there of; but the way we move and how we have adapted causes that some muscle are brought to the fore mo
