Rome wasn't built in a day...

January 31st, one month of the year already completed and the foundations for a successful 2018 have been set!

 

Haven't they?...

 

I guess all of us are on our own amazing journey, and each of us will have had a different kind of January, so what could you do if the foundations you need aren't as strong as you would like?

Build your pyramid

Today I wanted to talk a little more about our focus of “foundations” from the angle of training. Purely by chance, on Monday we did the pyramid style training class (90 second run, 60 second with a sandbag, 45 second HIIT and 30 second plank) and during it I thought that the Pyramid is a great example of what it means to have solid foundations!

Focus and Balance...

2018 has arrived and all around us we are hearing 'new year, new you' messages... Whilst we don't disagree with this message, we talked about what we felt should be the SMASH focus for January and decided to shy away from the common January marketing blurb. Our focus for January is....
