Motivation!

It seems to be the focus for me right now as I have seen so many struggling with life at the moment.

Some have found it too much and some keep fighting the good fight everyday to keep themselves afloat!

To move forward we must will it! Knowing how to do it isn't enough, you must implement it and then employing your will to your own life.

So it's really simple -

"Knowing is not enough
We must apply
Willing something is not enough
We must do it if we will it"

Keep pushing everyone 🧠

Mental Health-

Credited to
as without her, I would have not begun to open up my perspectives and my own journey to mental understanding. So a huge life long thank you goes to her.

Like many in society, we ignore our mental health until our mental health says enough and we hit the floor.

I, even as a PT have suffered and still suffer with consistency in my life for my mental health. My partner was the main advocate from the outset for me exploring just where my origins began, my past and underlying traumas. How this affected my moods, my coping mechanisms, defence mechanisms and how this ultimately led to difficulties in my personal life.

Discovering that personality disorders can be developed through trauma or stress and this can creep into your life without you even realising.

So here is a post about how you can help cope and build your mental strength.

After all..Strength is the madness we have survived.

Trap Bar Exercises! 🔥

The Trap Bar or the Hex Bar is in my opinion a really useful piece.of equipment that stays in the shadows of most gyms.

I believe this is down to the popularity of standard bar deadlift and the initial complexity look to the Trap Bar.

Here are a few benefits of the Trap Bar -

-You can lift more weight
-Less grip imbalances
-Better and more consistent form
-More versatility with choice of exercises
-Two handle heights offering more personalisation to your exercise needs.

Following that, here are a few exercises you can begin with immediately! 🔥
