In this, the final part to my endurance training for beginners series I'm going to outline a few considerations to supplement your training and keep you feeling strong and supple throughout. 

Some videos to guide you through some basics of the basics.

So you went out there and you got stuck into some base endurance training, but now it's time to take things to the next level... 

Cancer has developed a taboo about it like religion or your kinky sex games. I think it's because there is so much of it going around these days that people are afraid they'll offend someone. 

It's a topic I do read a bit of and enjoy watching documentaries. Unfortunately the medical system in Ireland and the UK is a bit one tracked when it comes to cancer. People are lead to believe that your only options are Chemo and Radiation and that's it.

But what about our other options.............

In the following series I'm going to outline a very simple strategy to getting started with endurance training- it will by no means be exhaustive, however it will provide the novice with the bare bones to execute effective training prior to an event or challenge. 

At the moment I've tonnes of half written or half researched blogs on my hard drive. I'm going to do a clear out now but here's one I came across on food additives. I'd wrote it back when I'd wrote a series of blogs on stressors in the body. Click any of the following to read them. Gluten, Fluoride, Artificial Sweeteners

Did you know that not drinking enough water can cause you to retain water?
What!?!
I know, go figure, right?
Here’s the problem...

I bet there's not one of us that can say hand on heart we haven't fallen for one of these somewhere along the way!

It's high time that these fitness 'truths' were finally laid to rest...

Crippled with DOMS in the days after a workout?Protein shakes and stretching not cutting it?

Don't worry, I'm not trying sell you anything. I merely want to let you in on an exciting revelation I made recently that could see your days of debilitating DOMS become a thing of the past.

In the pursuit of weight loss, or more specifically, fat loss, making your diet work in your favour is of paramount importance!

Technically Vitamin D isn't a Vitamin at all. It's more of a hormone similar to that of cortisol (only way better). 

So what's it good for?

Here's the deal, people...
Sitting for long periods of time in your chair, at your desk is slowly destroying your body.

Hey, ever wondered how to have your cake and eat it too?

Go to the gym but not really sure about what you're doing?
Remember these 7 movements and you wont go wrong.

All my life I've always wanted to be the best as whatever it was I was doing. I've always set my goals high, full of ambition and wanting to achieve. The only downfall with this mentality is physics. For every action there's an opposite and equal reaction. So its great when I'm wired and high as a kite on life but unfortunately I also suffer with low spells where I feel like I'm on the treadmill of life putting in all this effort and sprinting like a greyhound but getting nowhere.

After talking last week about believing more in yourself here's a little speech I went off on social media...............

WOW!!! What a year it's been so far. Hitting all new levels as a Father, a Husband, a Coach, an Entrepreneur and after 32 years I'm still learning about myself and expanding my education on life..............

I would quite happily bet my very last euro that you're not getting enough sleep!
I would also happily bet my last euro that your response would be something along the lines of,
“Well, I get about six hours a night and I don’t really feel tired so, yeah, I think I do”

We Irish are gas. We drive flash cars, wear designer clothes, and eat in fancy restaurants and holiday as often as possible but when you’re told a bottle of fish oil is €30 it’s like ‘WTF? You’re having a laugh!’

At present it is estimated that 300,000 people in Ireland have Osteoporosis. One in 5 men and 1 in 2 women over 50 will develop a fracture due to Osteoporosis in their lifetime (irishosteoporosis.ie). That’s a pretty scary prospect and of course there are many factors that contribute to these stats... lack of vitamin D and poor nutrition being just two of them. However there is definitely light at the end of this tunnel.
