If there is one thing that is really challenging people at the moment it is finding a way to stay motivated to exercise. There is no doubting that the Coronavirus pandemic has created tremendous amount of stress for people and one of the first things that is often lost or pulled apart is consistent exercise and eating. It is so much easier to sleep in, stay on the couch with a bag of potato chips and watch endless episodes of your favourite TV show on Netflix. Deep down though we know this is not good and we must do what is difficult and find a way to get up early and stick the health and fitness principles we had prior to the coronavirus. To help you out we asked our trainer Nathan Fejes to put together an article to show you exactly what is helping him to continue following his exercise and nutrition principles. This is a great read for the person struggling to find motivation or a reason to exercise right now.

This is an article we asked our trainer Kim Logan to write about as she has some incredible skills and knowledge in what is arguably the most complex and difficult topic relating to health and fitness being stress and mental health. Kim shares some very personal stories in this very detailed article she spent considerable time putting together knowing just how important this is to so many people right now. I hope you enjoy this article and spend the time to really digest all the information Kim shares about how to change your mindset and stay in control through these very challenging times.

It is great to see so many people making a real effort to complete strength training exercises in their own homes during the Coronavirus pandemic. Many fitness equipment manufacturers are completely out of stock of equipment as they have been overwhelmed by a sudden rush of people looking to get equipment to use at home. If this happened in the 90's I doubt there would be anything like this which indicates people are more educated as to the benefits of exercise and in particular strength training. While it is great to see so many people making the effort to workout at home, lack of knowledge about how to choose exercises and structure the appropriate method will see many people simply make things up. As much as people are educated about the value of strength training, there is a real lack of knowledge about how to structure a workout that keeps your body in balance and caters to your specific needs. Unfortunately there will be many people in months to come who develop chronic injuries from poorly designed workouts that destroy joint stability, created muscle imbalances, postural problems, and movement dysfunction. To help you avoid being one of these people I have put together a very simple 8 step process for you to follow that shows you all you need to know for creating a great home workout specific to you.
