Stretched Perth

I'm so proud of this guy, brings a tear to my eye 😭

6 months ago Paul;

🔹Could barely bend his knees
🔹Told by his Dr that his health was in a really bad way
🔹Hadn't exercised in years with a very busy job

Now. Been training twice a week
Recently came to class and kept up with the regulars

Health markers drastically improved

And the difference in his movement and body is REMARKABLE

Literally brings tears to my eyes seeing someone who was heading probably for an early grave thriving like this

I don’t know about you, but I’m finding my 40s hard.

A mostly fully booked work schedule and starting 5.15am every morning.

Trying to keep a great relationship with my partner and kids when I’m tired thanks for all you do.

Figuring out how to help with meltdowns, while food prepping, washing, debriefing and processing how to grow business without working a billion hours while distracted with all the worlds noise.

So I joined a 12 week program with an old mentor

To get me clear on a plan and stick with it.

I’m good at training people. I’m good at getting tight bodies moving again.

But I’m not great at social media.

And I’m definitely not great at sticking to a plan when I’m building something for myself.

Because I want to create something special for people in their 40s.

For the people I do my best work with.

The people who feel stiff, tired, out of shape, overwhelmed and know they need something to change.

Who have had a season of life where they have focused on work and family but now they need their health to be a priority.

I already have the concept.

Micro habits for over 40’s that make major changes.

Getting healthy, pain free and in shape without completely flipping your life upside down.

The part that I find hardest?

This.

Actually putting something out there.

Because my default setting is brainstorming forever, making things perfect, doubting myself and doing nothing.

So this is me taking the first step.

In 12 weeks or less, I’ll have something amazing.

For now the habit we are doing which I would highly recommend is to watch Ted Lasso. Best show ever.
Can only feel like being a better person watching it.

Don't let this be you. See me.

RIP Paul Walker and James Van Der Beek

Me vs Chat GPT

I asked Chat GPT to make me a 12 week workout for over 40’s that combines strength and mobility, like my online program released this week.

Looked great…

Until you look deeper.

The exercise selection wasn’t great.
The rest periods were way off.
The pairings of mobility and strength don't make sense.

It was generic.
Better than nothing.
But not great.

I only know that because I’ve spent 20 years actually coaching people.

Seeing how real human bodies respond to training, stress, injuries, sleep, motivation and life.

And the most important thing AI still can’t do

🔹Keep you accountable when motivation drops.
🔹Adjust when your back flares up or work gets stressful.
🔹Actually care whether you stick with it or not.

Right now if you’re over 40 and trying to get back into training, you’ve got 3 choices.

🔹Do nothing.
Your results will be zero.

🔹Use a generic program, old workouts from your 20’s or an AI-generated plan.

Your results will be average and there’s a good chance you won’t stick with it and you'll be back at step 1.

🔹Work with a coach.
Me or someone else you connect with and who gets you

Highest chance of result

AI might get there one day with exercise programming
But it’s not there yet.

For now…
Use AI for cool images (like I did) and to soften the angry email you are about to send to your boss.

But use a real coach for your body.

Here are three simple ways to add mobility to your workouts

1) Stretch while you rest
2) Do mobility based warm ups rather than cardio
3) Choose exercises that work through full ROM, add pauses and active holds

All over 40’s should add stretching into their workouts.

Most people don’t move enough anymore. Then they try to train like they did at 25 and wonder why everything feels tight, sore or injured.

Mobility work helps you;

• Reduce injuries
• Build more muscle through better movement
• Keep training consistently for years instead of constantly dealing with niggles

In my 12 week program mobility is integrated into all workouts. Meaning you get more mobile as you train, not more like tin man. Check it out in my bio links.

My 12 week program for over 40’s is live.

It combines strength and mobility so you can get back to training while getting more mobile and having less pain.

Combining 20 years of experience training clients and stretching tight bodies.

If you’re over 40 tight, sore, or feel like your body just isn’t cooperating anymore but want to train this is for you.

I’ve been working on this for over 6 months with a mentor who I'm very grateful for. (he knows who he is)

Filmed and refilmed everything. Rewrote the landing page more times than I can count.

Even woke up at 2am last night making final tweaks being a perfectionist. But it's ready.

I’ve been using it with many clients and on myself… and the difference has been huge.

More info coming.
