#NeverStopMoving

Hi There  I love my job. I love that I get to help and see other peoples' progress. I feel honored being a part of their journey.  But THEY need to put in the effort. When we start on their movement journey, we enter into an accountability relationship.This means we are accountable towards each other and our goals. I need to design programmes that challenges you in every way and that meets your physical standards and i need to make sure all this happens in a safe and productive way. YOU need to do the WORK. YOU need to put IN the EFFORT at your highest ability for it to work. I CAN NOT DO IT FOR YOU! I can shout, jump, do every movement with you whatever it takes, but I CANNOT DO THE WORK FOR YOU! Even if I sometimes wish I could.  Remember we are in this together. Sometimes it takes longer to see results or due to injury we get frustrated, but that is life. We have to push through the feelings and follow Nike and JUST DO IT. We might even have to start over or go in a diffe

Hi There One thing that really get me going is how we think about the body and "fitness". It is like when it comes to the body we become stupid. Sorry for being crass but we do. Think about it.  If your 5 year old comes to you ans says he/she wants to be a pilot; you do not just allow him/she to fly a plane. No. There is a process. We might encourage  him/she by giving them books and letting them watch movies about the subject.  Firstly there is a knowledge set required and physical training involved. And he/she is going to need to grow up first. This makes sense right?  Why will it be any different with the body? We train the body in increments. We do not just run a 5 km when we haven't even walked 1 km!! How does that makes sense?? There is a process and a set of knowledge involved and some physical training involved!!! We are more than the some of our parts. We have a emotional/motivational aspect to take in account and that is not all. We have physical deficit

Hi There  Evolve encapsulates so much! I mean it means more than just physically. it embodies the whole. As you know I believe we all are more than the some of our parts… I just never thought we had so much outside our parts!!! Evolve also touches base with #NeverStopMoving. We should never stop moving in every human aspect of our lives. Thus we should always evolve. This is what #NeverStopMoving is all about.More than just exercise or movement but why we do it and how much joy it gives us. How it enriches our lives in every aspect Keep Moving until ne xt time 👋

Hi There  I am a Sport Scientist.  I work with athletes and I have had the honor of interning in the National Rowing Program. I have learned and watched in awe how these Athletes work and strive for gold.  I identify myself as a Sport Scientist and it is where my love and knowledge of movement starts.But foremost, I value the human being and everything we are and can achieve in our very small capacity. I believe this makes me different than most other Sport Scientists.To me the human spirit and attitude can against all odds help us perform and achieve more than what "papers", "data" and even "statistics" show us is possible.I believe this. That said I always tell my athletes that being an athlete is not normal. You are either normal or your an athlete. You can not be both. If you want to read more on why I say this click here .  There is a reason why being the CHAMPION/OLYMPIAN is a BIG deal. I mean if it was easy, believe me I would not be the s

Hi There  Coaches, Personal Trainers, Instructors etc. are people too. I am saying this because I feel like we forget this factor. Even though they are carrying over their knowledge over to us and plan out our sessions and then essentially lead us in their sessions. They are human.  Sometimes their planing wasn't up to par or had some logistic problems, but to judge them too hard on this factor is not fair. I also want to say that experience plays a big role in planing successes. Also that it is sometime nerve wrecking to do so. The dynamics of the nature of movement makes planning difficult. I always when in trouble go to these people to help work it out. They can change a plan sp quick and precisely AND it works!!!   Coaches, Personal Trainers, Instructors etc. also get frustrated, have long and varied days, have too be motivated ALL THE TIME, which takes a lot of energy. Think about it. If they are not motivated how on earth are they going to motivate you? But luckily most

Hi There  My blogging this year is very slow, I want to ask the followers to bear with me. I want to give you quality content to read and I REALLY do believe that what I have ta say can make a difference, And what I have to say is important. That is why I do not want to bombard you with blogs that don't mean anything or just to waffle useless information... That said let us get to this blog. I want to encourage you today to make movement fun. I have been looking a lot at exercise Youtube videos. I have also thought about exercise fads that come and go... Like Tae Bo, Zumba, Insanity  etc. They come because they are fun, they go because we do not get good instruction and most likely get hurt and motivation to keep going gets lost. Following an instructional Dvd or whatever medium your are using does not motivate you to carry on and you get bored. He always says the same thing wears the same thing, nothing changes. Also you are in control of your session and if you decide to skip

Hi There  To make a change we need to be be conscious of what you need to change. You can not change what you don't know.  So taking that first step in admitting that a change is needed is a very big step towards the change.  Another thing we need to keep in mind is that change is a process. EVERYTHING is a PROCESS. Change takes time and follows a specific process.  Making small changes and building on them is the best way to change. It doesn't just happen. So let us become conscious and make a change by starting small and manageable, building on your successes.   Consciousness is key. Have a great weekend!! Keep Moving until ne xt time 👋
