Advice for Beginners for 2025

Here’s a short list of considerations for those starting out in training, working out, exercise or whatever label you want to attach to building a ‘better’ you.

Consider this a beginners guide to starting your new exercise habit!

  1. Show up, Ask & Learn, Repeat.
  2. Know your goal, your real why.
  3. Make a commitment to train twice or three times a week or more if that matches your goal.
  4. Learn from a professional not social media how to perform the following categories of movement.
  5. Squat, press, pull, hinge, brace.
  6. Practice good reps not intensity.
  7. Show up, Ask & Learn, Repeat.

Performing consistently good and better reps at sustainable efforts will teach your brain how to be more efficient and recruit more muscle more effectively.

This will deliver your results, regardless if you’re training for health, strength or fat loss.

Practicing good reps also minimises the risk of injury, both with the light weights, and when you push to attempt heavier weights.

Rest between sets, don’t rush. Evaluate how or if that last set could have been better.

Now, here’s the deal. If this still doesn’t seem too clear or you’re not sure how it relates to you, take a complimentary consultation with me and I can explain how you could be training to transform what it is you desire to transform.

One Man, His Kettlebell & the Dog

One Man, His Kettlebell and His Dog is here now, not next week.
Recovery from Covid is accelerating and I thought I’d get a start with a simple approach.
1. Carry my kettlebell between the suitcase, racked and overhead position for a few rounds.
Then…
2. One Clean, One Press, One Goblet Squat x 10 mins without getting out of breath.

The Goal today was to just set the scene with a simple, easy session. Over the course of a week I’d incorporate a medium session and also a perceived harder session.

Kettlebells Again!

While I’m living on a rural farm based cottage, I thought it would be a great idea to buy a single kettlebell and share some short and sweet routines. You may of course join in or just watch!

If you wanted to learn some of the movements in more detail, I do have a free library of resources that I can also share – you just have to ask.

I will share via the usual socials (FB & Insta) and this website 🙂
