Get Moving!

I have been busy recently moving house. What a joyful experience it is!

It has taken out - or i have allowed it to take out - quite a few training days. The day itself was probably physical enough though!

For those of you local to the area, i've moved from Haywards Heath to Plumpton Green.

Moving to this area is going to be great for me for a couple of reasons in particular. I love being so close to the Downs, and also the peace and quiet it brings.

However this is partly due to the noisy traffic on the road i've lived on in Haywards Heath.

If that was my only consideration, i could have achieved it by moving 100 yards in the right directions off this road rather than 6 miles!

How does this relate to your fitness training or nutrition?

Well, have you ever felt that the only way for you to make significant progress was taking some massive change of direction? Maybe you have actually done this. Maybe it was exactly what was needed and maybe it got you exactly the results you were after.

However i think that all too often people make drastic changes in their health and fitness approach, when they could have achieved the same or even much more by staying much closer to home and making some less drastic changes in the right directions.

Ever heard someone say that squats make their knees hurt - and then seen them squat! Is it the squat that should be banished from their routine or the technique that needs to be fixed??

The same can be said for diet or nutrition. Big sweeping, drastic changes are rarely the answer for long term health and success.

Luckily i'm not left feeling that was my only criteria for moving and i made a mistake!

I'm looking forward to getting some seriously great sessions on the Downs. The worst thing right now is the fact my pull up bar does not fit any of the door frames in the new place!

Now that is a criteria worth moving for! Maybe i need to get out more??

Hope the moving in your life is getting you where you need to go.

Until next time....
