info_outlineToday on the show we have a personal story of my own attempt to get back to health and fitness.
After pretty much living in a gym for the past 30 or so years I had major surgery and then complications which stopped me training or playing for over 3 years
With the help of Josh Leyes at Par4Success I have managed slowly to coax my body back into training.
Even to be back in the gym at all feels like a major victory
I couldn’t have done any of it without the help of the guys at Par4Success
They are without doubt the best I have come across in terms of fitness and conditioning in the past 30 years
It was great to get Josh on the show
We discussed:
- The importance of taking the 4 Rotary Tests
- Why data gives you an inspiring goal to aim at
- Why functional rotation is so important
- How speed training alone can be dangerous for your body
- Are you an injury waiting to happen?
- The joy of being able to move better
- The role of the mind in effective training
A really great session with a top trainer who has helped me so much
I cannot overemphasise how important it is to take the ROTATIONAL TEST
