Split Press-Ups...
This is the Split Press-Up...not advised for beginners...Very Hard advanced exercise with a capital 'H'...Works a multitude of muscles, even though I only done 50, this was after a long day, normally I bash out 100 of these in one go...

Kettlebell Squats...
This is a damn good exercise, lot of things to take in when performing this, try and make certain that the body is very much upright, bend the knees and keep the back straight at all times. Exhale as you squat down and inhale as you come back up..The kettlebells i'm lifting is 24kgs each and I done around 30 reps which is enough for the quads, hamstrings, calves, thighs, knees, ankles, and also the upper body takes a battering due to the oxygen debt caused in the muscles...Great all round cardio workout...

Tricep Dips.....(One Minute).....
This was an attempt on my previous British record of 85 full dips in a minute...I went straight into this with no training beforehand..This is a right horrible exercise and regarded by many experts as one of the toughest in the book as when the pain kicks in there is no respite at all...Unfortunately it wasn't on a proper gym bench, the chair was rather awkward to get a proper grip, I only managed 79 but with a bit more training , the proper bench and surroundings I should smash my previous best...Still not bad for someone coming up near the half century mark!!!...and I still have my two sit-up and press-up records.....

Outdoor Training - T-Push Ups / Star Jumps with 55 lb Bergen
This for me is the ultimate exercise as it combines three elements all in one smooth fluid movement...The T-Push Up is made up of a standard Push-Up into a Squat Thrust and then the Jump-Up to finish, so basically you are going from Upper body straight into Lower body back to Upper to finish...When I done this I had th...e extra weight of 55lbs on my back which works the heart and lungs much more efficiently...The Star Jump I show is more of an advanced exercise and not the Jumping Jack as you see in aerobic classes up and down the country, when doing this always remember to bend the knees and not the back..By the way I was doing this on uneven and undulating ground, this is why my knee is slightly bent on the one side, but the execution of the exercise is still very much the same..

Outdoor Training - Tabbing / Push-Ups with 55lb Bergen...
As the title suggests this is outdoor training at it's very best...Set in the beautiful surroundings of the Elan Valley, this is my bread and butter and yet another example of why training outdoors is by far more efficient than training indoors, you have all the elements to confront and also the altitude to take into accounts...

Five Minute Medicine Ball Madness...
During a mini workout I decided to use up five minutes on a video clip showing more exercises you can do with the double handle medicine balls..The exercises only touched on a few that you can do, as long as apply the correct technique you are well away...A sure arm-blaster and one to make the forearms burn!!!...

Outdoor Training - Hill Running...
This was a short video taken at New Radnor Forest halfway during a gentle 10 mile walk...I wanted to show how outdoor training differs from indoor training, as I keep emphasising there are no substitutes to this...plain and simple. What the video doesn't fully show was the steepness of the forest, a clue is where I tend to zig zag all the way to the bottom then I use a classic combination of explosive leg speed and arm drive to get me to the top...woodland terrain is so much different to running on the roads and offers a completely new dimension to the boring old treadmill...Works the muscles much faster and is more effective!!!...

Outdoor Training - Log Lift...
Once more I want to bring across the point about improvising when outdoors, during my walk I happened to come across a lengthy log, so I decided to make a short video showing what you can do with a bit of ingenuity and fitness knowledge.This is a variant of the dead lift but with a caber toss grip.The log in question weighed in the region of 200lbs if not a tad heavier..Being qualified in Power Lifting I can tell how heavy various objects are just by doing one lift...Safety is the main key with this particular exercise, feet must be equal level apart in order not to injure the back when lifting the weight. Straight back and explosive drive from the lower limbs makes for perfect technique and appliance!!!...

Resistance Tube Shoulder Press...
This is quite simply a great and most importantly a safe exercise without the added fear of lifting weights above your head, the only weight with the tubes is your own body weight depending on the width apart your feet are away...This works a multitude of muscles including the Deltoids, Rhomboids Minor and Major, Trapezius, and the Latissimus Dorsi, also strengthens not just the shoulders but also the neck muscles, mostly the Mastoid region.

Resistance Tube Ski-Pumps...
What can I say about this one, the ultimate lung buster!!!...I used to cross country ski when I served in the forces and this one is very similar to the langlaufing I used to do...Works the entire core muscles and also works the upper and lower arms, it don't take long for oxygen debt to kick in...definitely in my top five all time exercises!!!...

Swiss Ball Tricep Pullovers......
This is me and my client who is doing the Tricep Pullovers on the swiss ball, I am cradling her neck to not just protect but also to stop the joints from over extending.. One thing to remember is that triceps makes up 2/3's of the upper arm, these control the biceps.....

Swiss Ball Press Ups...
This is another video of me and my client Debbie..In such a short time Debbie has been a revelation and in this video she demonstrates how effective the press ups can be whilst using a Swiss Ball, and most importantly proves the myth that women can do press-ups and safely, strengthens the whole upper body and also engaging the all important core muscles...

Thigh Hand Slides...
Great exercise for the abs...As you can see my client is brushing the thighs with the palms of the hand, and as she comes up she is working her Rectus and Transverse abdominus whilst keeping her lower spine pulled into the ground..Breathing out as she comes up, in as she comes back down..Great effort by a great client...
