Needing to warm up? Butt Kicks can get the blood flowing and also get those hamstrings warmed up!
Loco Moco The Loco Moco is a dish that is often featured in Hawaiian cuisine. I encountered the loco moco when I visited Hawaii in 2008. I was apprehensive at first as it had traditionally had a slab of spam in it. But I soon realised you could have a meat patty instead. The problem…
This challenging core exercise really requires some focus and stability!
A feet on wall push up is an interesting variation on your standard push up as it provides a different direction or stimulus to your working muscles in a standard push up.
No equipment? No problem. This exercise is designed to target your rear delts and to really focus on the retraction of our arms that we so often don’t achieve.
The scoop press is an exercise to put some focus on the anterior deltoid.
This is a clever exercise to help overcome some of the challenges associated with raising the arms and dumb bell to shoulder height in a standard lateral raise. By bending the elbow to a 90 degree angle, it means the initial raise is easier and then at the top of the motion, extension of the arm means that more weight can be used in the downward or eccentric motion of the exercise. This allows us to get that important second part of the movement with more weight.
Hoi An Pork Mince When in Hoi An, I do overdose of Cao Lau. And rightfully so because it is DELICIOUS. The prep and cooking of it though would make it a rather rare dish though since it does require a fair bit of prep and cooking time. BUT THAT FLAVOUR.. UGH. So! I promised…
This exercise isolates the biceps and allows a greater range of motion than standard bicep curls as your arms hang beneath your body.
No idea why they are called Spider Curls. Just do them. They are a snazzy exercise to help manipulate that force curve and allow more tension in the upper range of motion. A place many people don’t quite get to!
Flat feet can cause pain in the arch of your feet. It can also cause a flow on effect with other parts of the body such as ankles, knees and hips. This is a great exercise to strengthen the arch of your foot to prevent that roll in of the ankle which can cause Plantar Fasciitis
Having problematic or lazy glutes? This one is for you.
This is a great exercise to develop power through the legs and shoulders especially for sports that require extension through multiple joints.
Too often are we having to sit in certain positions where our focus and posture start to get a bit.. lazy.
This posture correction guide is a great way to reset your sitting position and practice it. By being in this position, you will be less prone to hip tightness, back pain and shoulder/trap tightness.
We can’t really escape sitting at computers, in cars or just work that requires certain movements – we can however ensure we counter act it and make an effort to combat it!

This is a great activation exercise that can help with getting those stubborn inner fibres of your pec muscles to kick in.
We use this exercise to get the lower abs firing! When the lower abdominals are working, they take pressure off your lower back and lift your torso from your pelvis. This in turn decreases the pressure on your hips, knees and ankles.
An advanced version of a standard lunge, this should only be attempted after a proper warm up and by those that can comfortably perform a kettlebell clean and press. By incorporating the overhead element, this exercise also targets the shoulders, triceps and lower back.
