Breaking through inertia is probably the one most frequent thing that keeps us from achieving our goals. You can’ achieve anything if you don’t start it, and starting is just so hard. Be it a diet, taking up running, giving up smoking, going to the gym, writing a blog… overcoming that first day is like …
Bless me Father for I have sinned. it has been 7 days since my last blogpost. It happens to all of us. At least I think it does. I hope it does. I hope it’s not just me. It’s been a struggle the past few days to be honest. I started a new work contract …
Today is the sixth of my fortnightly mini-resolutions days of the year. Today is also my youngest son’s birthday. He is 8 years old today. How that time has flown by, as it does. My mini resolution for today is less directly fitness related than usual, but fitness per se, in the pushing, pulling, running, …
Okay, very quickly. Firebreathers: Tabata Squats and Tabata Push-Ups 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, 8 times. First the Squats, then rest, then the Push-Ups. Puller-Uppers: Flex hang. Three times.

FIrebreathers, your RhomWOD of the day, taking into account how brutal yesterday’s was, and the fact …
Well I am sure you all had a fine time yesterday hanging around and doing those burpees. No one has complained of death or injury so I am assuming all is well. If you are a Puller Upper don’t do any hanging or pulling today. It will take a couple of weeks for your arms …
Squat Challenge Week 4? Can it really be the beginning of Week 4 already? I know time flies ever faster after 40 (and I know some of you skwaatsters are mere youngsters, but bear with me here) but this seems to have just whizzed by. Its been so much fun. But don’t worry, it’s …
I’m sorry, skwaaterati, no squats today (unless you are one of the day behind people in which case today is yesterday and you won’t be getting to this until tomorrow, in which case…. I don’t know… I guess you’re squatting now and the bear awaits. Whatever. It is early and I have had insufficient coffee …
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s the start of a whole new week in the Team Rhomboid 30 day Beginner Squat Challenge and now we have the basics down, it’s to cast away our chairs, throw off our mental chains, pick up our stethoscopes and… squat. We are now at the halfway …
