Rope Training Tutorial: 3 Key Exercises + How to Get Started

Rope training or rope flow is something I’ve been experimenting with over the past few months as a part of my cardiovascular training (and for the sake of learning new skills).  I’ve been enjoying the process & noticed numerous benefits that have the potential to transfer over to other practices. Gains in mobility, co-ordination, cardiovascular fitness, mindfulness and beyond. With that in mind, I thought I’d share some of the basic principles with you, along with a few key rope training exercises. I want to preface this article and video by saying that I don’t class myself as an expert

The Hero Roundup: April 2020

To say it’s been a surreal few months would be a bit of an understatement… Like many families around the world, we’ve unfortunately experienced firsthand the devastation of COVID-19. The pandemic has brought about a new reality, largely marked by loss, grief and uncertainty.  During this forced pause, I thought it might be a fitting time to begin writing again on a more regular basis. Both to have a canvas for making sense of the thoughts in my head, and to share a few things that might help others too. With that in mind, I’ve restarted the Hero Roundup –

10 Minute Kettlebell Mobility Flow (Full Body)

Weighted stretching is one of my favourite ways to open things up, and arguably one of the most effective for creating lasting changes with your mobility and joint function. So today I’ve put together a short kettlebell mobility flow. It look a bit like yoga, but with added resistance in the form of a bell (or whatever else you have lying around at the moment).  There are a few benefits to this: The added weight can help guide you a little deeper than you would normally be able to with some positions. Holding a weight means you have to have

With that in mind, I thought I’d put together a gentle at-home mobility workout to help free up the joints & hopefully calm the nerves.  There’s no equipment required.

5 Things We’re Doing to Support The Immune System

We’re currently laying low in Tenerife amid the COVID-19 lockdown. I thought I’d take some time to share the habits & practices I’ve been using to (potentially) support the immune system. Before we get started, it almost goes without saying that our first point of call for anything COVID-19 related should be the World Health Organisation and local health authorities. Here’s a summary of the current WHO guidelines on basic protective measures: Wash your hands frequently. With an alcohol-based hand rub or soap & water. Maintain social distancing. At least 1 metre between yourself & anyone coughing or sneezing Avoid touching eyes, nose

My 2019 Annual Review

Time to start a new tradition.  Journalling is something I’ve found great value in, for various reasons. To record day-to-day ideas in the present. To document and learn from the past. And to map out a vague direction for the future.   I’ve carried out a 12-month review around December/January time for several years, but it was only after stumbling upon James Clear’s series recently that I realised it might be useful to do in a more public setting. Plus, I’ve been wanting to get back to regular writing here on the blog. This seems like an appropriate way to do it.   So the following
