Exercises You Can Do While Brushing Your Teeth!
I strongly believe in the benefits of "incidental training." That is training throughout the day whenever you get an opportunity. Brushing your teeth provides just such an opportunity. As a fun thought experiment, here are some exercises you can do!
Exercising while brushing your teeth might sound a little odd. Maybe it sounds like a gimmick, or an idea that only someone unhealthily obsessed with exercise would have. And sure, maybe it’s both those things a bit. Straight up: I don’t exercise every time I do my teeth. But I do do this sometimes. More to the point, I use this philosophy a LOT. That is: I train throughout my day and use…

This post explains how and why you should divide your workouts into smaller chunks. This method got me my best results and for good reason...
Those that have been watching the channel for a while will know that my physique has fluctuated a little over the years. I’ve been pretty lean, I’ve been pretty puffy, and I’ve been quite bulky.

If you find your training boring, you shouldn’t be doing it. Full stop. And I don’t just mean because it’s hard to be consistent with something you don’t enjoy doing. I don’t just mean because it’s no fun. I mean that you won’t progress as quickly if you aren’t engaged with what you’re doing. Attention is not only necessary for optimal performance, it’s also necessary for plasticity to occur.…

Low Effort Workouts: The Immense Value of Easy, Simple, and Fun Training
Don't make the mistake of thinking workouts have to be grueling and long to be useful. Any movement is valuable and there are no rules. So, when you're low on motivation, find training that you find fun and easy-going. That way, you'll skip them far less!
For training to be effective, it also needs to be adaptable. There will be times when life gets on top of you, when you feel beat up, or when your pipes burst and flood your entire downstairs for FIVE WEEKS. (That one’s still a little raw…) The point is that, with the best will in the world, there will be days when you don’t feel like pressing 150kg. Or sprinting. Or doing high-volume…

How the Environment Shapes You
Your gym sessions are only a drop in the water compared to the impact your environment has in shaping your performance. This post explores that relationship and how it can help or hinder your training!
The best way to learn a language, it transpires, is not to sit in a class and recite the different verbs and nouns. A lot of research and a lot of anecdotal evidence tell us that the best way to learn a language, is through immersion. It is to live in another country, speak and hear only that language, and let the amazing plasticity of our brains do its thing. Training is no different. We are…
