It is very easy to fall into patterns. In relation to training, one pattern people fall into is doing the same general workout whenever they train. An example of this might be a weights session followed by some time on the treadmill and then some stretching. As it stands this is a good training format but doing the “same” session time and time again can result in lack of progress, reduced enthusiasm and boredom. It is a great idea to at least occasionally do something different, instead of a weights session, get outside and “play” in a park, do some strongman training, do a short introduction to “pick your sport/activity” class and have some fun. You will probably find that your motivation and enthusiasm for training inceases and your training results improve.

In a recent blog post Mike Roussell, author of The Naked Nutriton Guide discussed the value of eating locally produced produce rather that eating certified organic food. I think there is a lot of benefit in eating truly fresh (just picked) produce compared to that which you get in your local supermarket. It’s an interesting read and definitely worth checking out.

In some very interesting news from the Brainready Team, a standard spice in most people’s home has been found to have extremely high levels of antioxidant activity and other health promoting properties. The spice in question - oregano. Yes oregano. I think that the potential benefits of including spices like oregano and tumeric in your diet and of eating a wide range of whole foods should not be underestimated in relation to overall health and fitness. Read all about the value of oregano at the brainready blog.

I’m just about to go on holidays with little likelihood of getting to the gym for the next two weeks. For me this is the perfect  time to focus on short bodyweight training sessions. Varieties of push-ups, pull-ups and squats or lunges will give me a good workout for both my muscular and cardiovascular system without the need for a gym. If I did want to take some equipment with me, I would probably take a skipping rope.

If you are in a similar situation, whether it is for work or leisure, go with the flow. It may be a great time for you to take a week off weight training and it is important to remember that you have plenty of exercise options that do not require the use of a gym or a lot of time. Have fun.
