Exercises

Push ups need no introduction. They are one of the most universally recognised exercises in existence, and for good reason. No equipment, no gym, no excuses. Just you and the floor, building real upper body strength wherever you happen to be. But if you have been doing standard push ups for a while and feel […]

Most people think about fitness in terms of what they can see or measure. Weight on the bar. Miles logged. Body composition.

There is a movement that every child does naturally and that most adults have forgotten how to do. Drop into a deep squat, place your hands flat on the floor in front of you, then straighten the legs and fold forward, shifting the load from the hips to the hamstrings. Then reverse it. Back into

Resistance bands are one of the most underestimated pieces of fitness equipment available. They are inexpensive, take up almost no space and can be used anywhere, but they are often dismissed as a beginner’s substitute for real weights rather than a genuinely effective training tool in their own right. The research suggests otherwise. A PMC
