When you think of the word “inspiration,” what comes up for you? Do you think of an athlete or a movie star? Do you think of some great moment in time, where someone achieved something life-changing? Or do you think of a parent, coach or mentor, leading the way? Well, I can think of people in all of those categories, and I can also add friends and team mates into that list, too ..
I love the feeling of ticking off every item on my to-do list. You too? There’s nothing better than getting to the end of the day and knowing I’ve achieved everything I set out to! On the days this happens, I know that I’ve been really good at managing my time. I will have blocked out time to get certain tasks done and I would have had little to no distractions. Other d ..
It was 5:30am. It was dark. It was pouring with rain. I dragged myself out of bed and walked the hallway to my daughters’ room, where my kids and wife were nestled, peacefully. “What are we going to do?” I asked my wife. It was the morning of the Bridge to Brisbane, and we were entered to run/walk. The kids were coming with us, too. As much as I wanted to go ..
“Luke, I’m so sore. I don’t think I can train today.” “Why am I so sore? I think I’ve injured myself!” These are just some of the comments I’ve heard from my clients in the days after their workouts recently, and I can totally relate to how they’re feeling. I can often feel the effects of my workout long after the session is finished, too! Don’t worry though; the pain c ..
We chatted a few weeks ago about priorities, and how I’ve learnt what’s most important to me over the years. We all have different priorities in ilfe, and what’s important for one person might not necessarily be that important to another. So what happens when you’re sharing your life with someone who doesn’t really value the same things you do? What happens if: – You love s ..
Stress. It’s an inevitable part of life. We’re all busy, and we all have many different aspects of our lives to give attention to, and sometimes, that can become all too much. Did you know that stress can majorly impede any results you might be looking for in terms of weight loss or a body transformation? You may be exercising often, eating really well and sleepin ..
Do you ever feel like you simply don’t have enough time to get everything done? I’ve had times like this, when it doesn’t seem like there’s enough hours in a day. But why is it that some people seem like they’re able to do it all? Spend quality time with the kids, excel at work, have a thriving social life and a still have time to exercise, eat well and meditate. How do they ..
Once a quarter, we do a different social activity with our crew here at MP. We’ve learnt to surf, we’ve done stand-up paddleboarding, trampolining, and this month, we decided to go with rockclimbing. We went last Saturday and it was super fun! But, my goodness, it was hard work! I didn’t realise until I was half way up the ..
Do you ever find yourself aimlessly wandering the aisles at your local grocery store? Do you often get home and unpack your shopping and you realise you’ve forgotten to buy half the stuff you actually needed? And on the flipside, you’ve brought home a whole bunch of stuff that you really didn’t need and that isn’t going to help you reach your health and fitness goals? I’ve been the ..
I’ve worked with hundreds of clients over the past 8 years in the fitness industry. One thing is very clear to me – everybody is motivated differently! Some people are driven by a weight loss goal. Other people prefer to work towards an event, such as a fun run or a wedding. And others have a sporting related goal. In order to stay on track, we need to know what we ..
