Eastbourne Town under 18 football team joined me for the first session of a block of strength and conditioning.

I decided that we would work on compound exercises with special emphasis on the posterior chain.

Football is a very quad dominant game so we did sandbag deadlifts , ball slams and a wide variety of different exercises.

The key emphasis was on the mechanics of the movement. Not the speed. This was their first session so that was crucial.

Exercises that highlighted certain issues were the overhead squat ( with a broomstick) and a simple prone press up hold with the feet elevated. These allowed me to explain the need for all round conditioning.

I will admit that I added in some bicep curls… well it is a group of young men.

Did you know that exercising outdoors offers amazing benefits?🌳💪

✅It boosts your mood
✅Reduces stress
✅Increases vitamin D for better bone health

So, why not take your workout to nature and enjoy the fresh air and scenic views? 🌞🍃

We really enjoyed reading the article below and wanted to share it with you. This one statement stood out to us:

‘By comparing different exercise settings, studies showed that regular use of woods or parks for physical exercise reduced the risk of poor mental health, whereas no such pattern was found in non-natural settings like gyms.’

Nothing is wasted in our classes. Least of all your time.
You may have been a member of a gym where you turn up, struggle to park and then once there wander around the gym doing a few weights, a little bit on the treadmill, missing out a machine because it’s in use, have several minutes looking at your phone and then you leave. So you may have spent well over an hour at the gym but far less than that doing anything effective.
At Cargo Gym our classes are 45 minutes. Bang! Done and dusted. It’s 45 minutes of productive time. It’s also friendly and sociable. Highly trained instructors help you and motivate you. And it’s effective.

During the course of the Pandemic people demonstrated incredible kindness and empathy to their fellow humans.

Of course some did not and some saw it as a time to take scams to a whole new low.

One thing that struck me is that many people have been scamming their bodies for years. Too many poor deposits and cheques that bounce. Ni****ne, drugs, excess alcohol and poor food are not good deposits. The interest rate is perilous on those.

Then we need to rely on our health and fitness. But the cheque bounces. We cannot honour the commitment that our body may suddenly need.

However we can start now. Today in fact.

We can make decent choices and good deposits. Then in the future we will have the health and fitness reserves to stop the cheques from bouncing.

So start making the good decisions and deposits.Stop existing on a physical overdraft.

Visit us at Cargo gym - and really make the change.

One of the interesting things about been a personal trainer is that I often have to tell people that they are not trying to see how much punishment they can take.

Also my sessions are generally 45 minutes not 2-3 hours.

If someone is wanting to spend 2-3 hours at a gym then sometimes the real issue lies outside of the gym.

One session of high intensity will not do it. Getting fit is not about punishing ourselves for a previous lifestyle. It is about stepping into a new lifestyle and been smart about it.

A classic example: a client was working well but was fitter without losing much weight. I was trying to really get more lifestyle information ( without been intrusive).

It transpired that when filling their car up approximately 3 x a week ( they sold products all over the South East) they “ treated “ themselves to a caramel Mocha latte. Enough said.

My suggestion was not to train harder.

It was to pay at the pump.

So be smart, don’t fool yourself, put the effort in and enjoy the journey and the rewards.

Some exercises are simply not necessary for everyone. They are reasonable in and of themselves but may have zero application to your life.

So let’s consider burpees. Tough and brutal. Great for military purposes and maybe within the context of certain regimes but not necessary for a middle aged person looking for improved mobility, endurance and strength.

Sure I have done them and some of my clients do them. Yet thats because it fits into their goals.

Context and goals are everything. Not everything will work for everyone. So whilst you may see a 30 day burpee challenge on the internet don’t dive in. You may be storing up a 30 day enforced rehabilitation.

At Cargo gym we treat you as individuals. Every exercise has an alternative. An alternative to a burpee is as simple as a knee push up , standing up and performing a half squat.

So come and meet us. We will help you and encourage you. Your goals are our goals!

I once read a story about jellyfish.

There was a sign on a beach which said” Beware poisonous jelly fish in the water. Do not enter”.

They authorities had about 20 calls about tourists who had ....well ignored the signs and still gone in the water .... and got stung.On further questioning they had seen the signs but ignored them. Apparently they must have thought that they were immune to jellyfish stings.

Humans ignore many signs. The trousers or dress that doesn’t fit anymore. The shortness of breath walking up a hill. Hangovers that are more frequent: “ There must have been something in that drink “ Er yes it’s called alcohol.

But people play the numbers game. One more drink because.....well any reason really. Eating that sugar loaded snack because you deserve it. This is my final cigarette and so on. They keep on playing that game until they can’t anymore. Their body rebels.

But there is an answer. It’s not sexy or sophisticated or in the pages of magazines or endorsed by celebrities. You couldn’t sell it because people will say “ Hey I know that”

The answer is avoiding alcohol for 3-4 days a week. Don’t smoke. Eat more fruit and vegetables. Walk as much as possible.

Then join Cargo Gym. We are friendly, non judgmental and respectful of your needs.

We are located in a lovely area. We provide free fresh air and of course high quality classes.

Take advantage of our trial offer: 7 days for £7!

“ I want to live happily in a world I don’t understand “

Nassim Taleb.

I have often thought about the above statement and how it is actually possible to put into practice.

Too me it seems that there are two ways of doing this.

One is a complete abdication of responsibility for anyone or anything. No responsibility may equal no worries or stress.

Secondly we decide to act in the key areas where we can act. By that I mean love our family and friends. Help people and also help ourselves.

Helping ourselves can take many forms. Doing our best and not assuming that we can change everything. It also means looking after ourselves.

If we are strong in body and mind then even though we may not always understand the world we can navigate our way through it.

Exercise gives us both a strong body and a strong mind. Been able to do physical tasks equips us in so many ways. And it is easier than you think.

If you want help with your fitness journey so that you can become stronger in body and mind then get in touch.

Indeed!

Call us!

People often message me and ask for some workout ideas.

It’s actually not that difficult to give someone a workout. Swim the channel. Run The Beachy Head marathon. Do press ups until you collapse.

Simple…. But not effective. Not in the sense of contributing to health and longevity.

I also get messages from people asking for workouts to counteract their diet…..

Yet exercise should be a celebration of what we can do not a punishment for what we have eaten.

At Cargo Gym we do simple and effective classes. In the fresh air in a friendly environment. You turn up, do your best , have a chat and then go home. 45 minutes beginning to end.

Come and meet us- we have a £7 for 7 day trial offer at the moment.
