This grip is a great variation for the traditional Tricep Push Down Movement. By using this grip, you can lift a bit more but it really hits the rear head of the Tricep muscle. With this particular grip you will need to have a slight lean forward, hinging from the hip joint. This will give you more clearance to complete a full range of movement.
The Rowing Machine is a fantastic way to warm up and also get those often forgotten back muscles into the mix of exercise.
The good old wall sit. What a hate crime. I mean.. what a great exercise! Definitely an exercise to show your stamina for quads an glutes. This exercise can also be a great way to finish off those muscles in a superset.. as I said – a hate crime.

Looking to warm up? It’s likely your shoulders will be in the mix so let’s get them warmed up too.

This is a great and gentle way to get things moving!
A front squat is a great way to get those quads firing!

That ginger flavour just brings such a great summer flavour and not to mention you are having a decent serving of vegetables while drinking this!
This recipe is a slight variation on the Burrito recipe we have on the site and we’ve added in some extra spice to make it extra healthy! Why is it called Twosie though? Well in short – it’s pretty much made with 2 of everything which makes it super simple to prepare! I personally don’t like chilli BUT if you do.. feel free to add some to this recipe.
Nothing like cherry season! Sure you may need to mortgage the house to afford fresh ones.. but frozen pitted cherries are definitely the cheaper and more convenient way to go to get a fix!

Print Recipe Morning Glory While travelling in Vietnam – I am not exactly the most adventurous person when it comes to trying new foods. I am pretty set in that I don’t do hot and I don’t do spicy. Odd name? Yeah.. I’ll pass. However eventually we tried Morning Glory which is the fancy name…
One of the most common problems people get is shoulder pain. Sometimes all it takes is just the slightest, odd movement for something to be set off and thus niggled in the process. This exercise is a fantastic shoulder mobility and strengthening exercise.
This stretch is designed target your hamstrings. By starting with the knee slightly bent, it can help hit those sometimes pesky and sleep hamstrings. Ensure that you keep your hips square on but if you need to – don’t be shy in shifting your hip position in order to find some of the tighter fibres in your hamstrings.
No wedge or step to do calf raises? No problem! This exercise allows you to utilise the flexion of the ankle to form the stretch component of the movement while then going to tippy toes in the same position allows for contraction. Means this can be done anywhere and is a unique take on the traditional calf raise.
This exercise starts with body weight only but can be loaded with weight by placing weight plated across the thighs.
This is a progression from your standard Bosu Push Up. By elevating the feet using a bench we slightly change the angle and thus the stimulus placed on the muscles.
This is a progression from both your standard and elevated Bosu Push Ups. Your body is angled downward which slightly changes the stimulus placed on the muscles. Also, the use of the swiss ball increases the level of stability required throughout the exercise and will engage your core muscles.
When push ups become soooo last year! Using a Bosu Ball decreases the amount of stability of the movement this requiring you to work harder to keep yourself stable. It is a different form of stimulus for the working muscles and there will be an increased amount of recruitment of stabiliser muscles! This is a great way to spice up and evolve a staple of the exercise world!
