The 4 Sessions that Everyone Should Be Doing to Improve Their Fitness
After years of training for distance running and triathlon as a teenager I developed a repertoire of training sessions that improve cardiovascular fitness rapidly. It’s now thirteen years later and I still can’t believe that the fitness industry is so far behind sport science in teaching people to apply basic principles to improve their cardiovascular fitness. The sessions I learnt in the 90s are still some of the best and well known methods to improve aerobic fitness. Here are the 4 basic sessions that EVERYONE should be doing to improve their cardiovascular fitness:
Milo of Croton
Milo of Croton was a wrestler of note who lived in the sixth Century BC. It is said that the great wrestler once lifted a 4-year-old bull on his shoulders, roasted it and ate it all in one day. Impressive, no? What I find most impressive about this story is how Milo was able to train and develop the strength to carry the bull. The tale goes that every day from when the calf was born, Milo would go out and lift the calf. As the calf grew so did Milo’s strength. Modern sport scientists would call this a perfect example of progressive overload in training. No doubt, modern day animal activists would probably have something to say as well! It is amazing what can be achieved when the sum of years of training is accumulated. Recently, the performance of two of my clients gave me pause to reconsider that we all have to start somewhere but eventually everyone can achieve great results over time.

Your Health is a Marathon, Not a Sprint
Your Health is a Marathon, Not a Sprint
I watched a fantastic TED Talk during the week on Success. The crux of the message from the talk is that the biggest contributor to success across a wide variety of fields is grit: the ability to be both resilient and perseverant in your field of choice to attain the highest level of competency. You can view the full talk here.
This talk had so many parallels with my approach to health I had to blog about it here:
3 Fables for 30kgs
Last week Belinda went past the 30kg mark. She cruised past it in fact. 4 Months and 30kgs gone. I’ve blogged about Belinda before so she is familiar to most of you (you can read more about her weight loss journey here). Here is an update on what we’ve seen and experienced from the 20kg mark to the 30kg mark. 3 Fables to celebrate 30kgs:
There is No Greater Buzz…
I could not wait to write this blog post. It’s been a pretty exciting weekend:
One of the great perks of being a personal trainer is seeing people achieve something they never thought they could or would. This weekend I experienced that feeling no less than 3 times. Stavroola Anderson and Nigel Janson are two clients of mine who took part in the Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon on Sunday Morning and Claire Moran has been working with me to improve her speed to increase her chances for selection in the NSW State Touch Football Team. Claire had her final trial on Friday and I received the first of my 3 excited text messages from her on Saturday:
