Exercise tip- don't neglect your posterior chain.
Our posterior chain consists of 3 main muscle groups. Lower back, glutes and hamstrings.
It's imperative that we train these guys as much or if not more then our quads.
A great exercise for these muscles and one that I personally love is a Romanian deadlift. When done correctly can be extremely effective in strengthening your glutes and hamstrings, it can be done either with a Barbell (see video) or dumbells.
Coaching tips-
Soft bend in the knees
Slowly lower the bar down your quads keeping it in contact with your leg
Keep your back flat whilst your hips/ bum sit back.
Bring the bar to mid shin.
And fast up
Repeat for 12-15 reps x 3-4 sets.

Blue Monday is a name given to a day in January (typically the third Monday of the month) reported to be the most depressing day of the year for countries in the Northern Hemisphere.
It's also the day most people give up on or give in on their new years resolutions.
There are many different ways to combat the Monday blues and to help you push on at this difficult time of year.
1. Exercise- Frequent exercise helps reduce stress, ward off anxiety and feelings of depression along with numerous other health benefits.
2. Nutrition- As always prepare your food to have with you each day, this prevents you from straying on your meal plans or eating excess calories outside your macronutrient needs.
3- Supplementation- As you may or may not know we live in a country with very little sunshine even in the summer we don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamin D.
