Where to begin, it's been such a long time since I updated this site. I've been through so much. Last year I qualified for the finals of the Masters League Games in Melbourne, this year I'm taking a much needed break from competing. I do quite a bit on Instagram and I...

It's been over a year since the move to SASSfit and I've been extremely quiet on this site. Most of the action has been centered around my social media, growing my Instagram and blogging the life of a 50+ masters functional fitness athlete. Life has been more focussed...

My Second Year 2019/2020   Well, who would have thought I'd still be here after two years... but here I am. There are no miracle diets, no miracle cures and no will power pills that will help you become a better, fitter, healthier person. It's all down to hard...

This was an interesting night, we were doing workouts that the full CrossFit class were doing for the affiliates cup.  I looked at the board and then I stared in disbelief, there were about 5 or 6 workouts on the board. There had been no WOD posted to...

We did a 400m run as a warm up and then did some interesting warm up tabata exercises. After doing some dynamic shoulders the first one was a dead hang alternated with kettle bell overhead walking. Tabata is 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest for 8...

I'm my own worst enemy. I look up the WOD the night before and decide I can't do something. I nearly, so very nearly flagged the workout on this day. I'd spotted the hand stand walks and the inch worms.  I'm a bit of a theory buff too so I look up all the...

The WOD started with a plate carry for a warm up, which I found pretty hard to keep the 10kg plate overhead in the air, didn't come in too far behind so that was a bonus. We spent some time warming up the shoulders and doing some dead hangs.  I still can't take my...

It was a beautiful morning for a "stroll" up to Rocky Lookout. There was some wind but it wasn't cold. In the first part of the walk it was flat and I stayed at the front of the group for that part, I wasn't out of breath or feeling achy or tired. Having...
