A few weeks ago I was told I was either recovering from a cracked knee or I had arthritis in my knee. It has been since confirmed I do have arthritis in my knee. However prior to my diagnosis the pain at night sometimes was unbearable keeping me up throughout the night. However my every day mobility exercises that can sometimes last after two hours every day both morning and night and even during the night seem to be paying off as I only have minimal discomfort in my knee. While I possibly should’ve left a days rest to do the exercises I did today I probably should’ve left out the Coremaster because I was a little bit all over the place. While it’s my look like the Coremaster was touching the ground not once did the side actually touch the ground. The other mistake was not doing the single arm hangs with a 10kg weight before I did the 20 kg hang. In one of the videos you seen me doing my every day squats. The aim is to eventually be able to get my body more towards my back being at right angles to my legs. I was also training fasted. The last exercise of the day was climbing a tree in record time I’ve just under two minutes. #coremaster #instabilitytraining #deepsquats #arthritisrecovery #kneestrengtheningexercises #singlearmhangs💪 #weightedhangs #brutallytough #trainingfasted #nearly70 #veryfit #superfit (at AVM Fitness Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBqS3HD05k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I just want to say my new fitness regime has intensified because in May I want to complete what I didn’t do last year because the weather didn’t allow me to. You can read the blog here. What has helped me on my fitness journey is the supplement Pro-Argi 9 by Synergy Worldwide see the story here https://bit.ly/3JIk47a #proargisynergy #proargi9 #treeclimbing #wordrecord https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0sSqbjzOQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Learning g about instability and walking 30,000 steps during my 24 hour visit to Amsterdam Calisthenics at the Rai. It was the first and biggest of its kind in Europe. Well done @thecalisthenicsclub . For me it was getting g up at 2.30am and getting g to bed the following night at 2am. Yesterday was running 🏃 on adrenaline. Today as knackered as fuck. Can’t wait to get into bed it’s 9pm good night #calisthenicseurope https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJxC6RD4aU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Decided to treat myself to this clean eating Shrove Tuesday Pancake day for dinner given the remainder of the day all I ate was beetroot soup celery and peanut butter and now early to bed as feeling under the weather #healthyfood #pancakeday #shrovetuesday #undertheweather #earlytobed #jiagulantea https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8HcIHjaqW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes you buy something online and get it wrong. This was the case with this very large 51 cm charger that I thought was 18th century Chinese given the Chinese figures. But here is the mistake. The figures look Japanese. But actually in all honesty I didn’t spot this I just assumed the women were Chinese. But had I asked to see a photo of the reverse I would have known the charger wasn’t Chinese. The question I have for you is it Japanese or possibly European? #whatisit #japanese #europeanporcelain #japaneseporcelain #ceramics #antique #blueandwhite #china https://www.instagram.com/p/Co4kT31I4Tm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My idea of a workout is when you’ve finished you feel absolutely knackered. Combining the core master with Weights it took me six sets of 10 reps before I decided to lower the dumbbell weight from 10 kg to 3 kg because my forearms were so very sore but also I wanted to push my feet backwards to a plank position. But trying to balance on the unstable Coremaster after I completed workout that I could barely lift my arms #thecoremaster #hollowbodyplank Also doing a hollow body plank for 40 seconds twice in a row these are very punishing calisthenic exercises. #calisthenicsbestwork #weightedcore #instabilitytraining #unconventionalworkout https://www.instagram.com/p/CoznJT1jd02/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This evening I shouldn’t of been doing a dragon flag because I’ve been out tree climbing earlier. These videos illustrate some of the exercises I do on an American beach tree because of the trees stability. Watch out from my balancing on one leg. #treeexercises #treecalisthenics #balancetraining #onelegbalance #dragonflag #thecalisthenicsclub #treeclimbing #strongcore #painfularms https://www.instagram.com/p/Cos6Il2oL8T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I had popped into @antony_avm gym just to stretch but the buzz there was so inspirational I couldn’t but help do another #dragonflag attempt. Why I should have only been stretching is because I had done several reps of the exercise the day before and numerous inverted climbing. Watch out for those videos at end of week. But another reason I had been doing various exercises on my tree earlier in the afternoon. These are some of them. #treeexercises #treeclimber #dragonflag #thecalisthenicsclub https://www.instagram.com/p/Cos5YUio_jo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
