To be honest It's not easy stopping, I feel I always need to do more but I know my body needs rest and recovery. Especially my shoulders, they've been taking a beating lately! Learning to rest and recover is as important, if not more.... I don't know how to edit videos like @Karyn Ainsworth so I did a few reps of each exercises. Videos are a bit long, oops sorry😅 I work on my ankle mobility and balance, I do wrists and of course shoulders....I use a lacrosse ball for a lot of areas that have tension! I do a lot more in my mobility session but its just a quick recap and ideas for nobility Btw, Ginger likes to.join me when I do mobility work! 😻

My 8 year old daughter has her athletics carnival coming up and I needed to get some cardio in so we decided to do 10 x hill sprints today tag team style. Anybody else’s kids training for something right now?

Quick heads up from me. I am currently at the last provincial competition for the boys gymnastics team this weekend, so my replies may be a little slower than usual while I am coaching and helping athletes through the event. I will be getting back to posts, comments, and videos as soon as I have free time. That said, weekends like this always remind me of something important. A competition does not just show who is talented. It shows who can trust their basics, manage their nerves, and keep showing up when things matter. And honestly, that applies to hybrid calisthenics just as much as gymnastics. 🔥 Lessons from competition that apply to your training too 1. Basics win under pressure When athletes get nervous, they do not rise to some magical level. They fall back on what they have practiced the most. That is why your basics matter so much. • Push-ups • Pull-ups • Squats • Pike work • Hollow body holds • Hanging • Handstand wall work The fancy stuff is built on boring consistency. 2. Technique usually breaks before strength A lot of misses are not because someone suddenly got weak. It is because timing, body tension, focus, or positioning broke down. That is the same in calisthenics. A handstand usually fails before your shoulders truly fail. A muscle-up often fails before you are actually out of strength. A lot of skills are lost through position first. That is why clean reps matter. 3. Confidence is built before the big moment Confidence is not something you magically feel on the day. Confidence comes from reps. It comes from knowing you have done the work. It comes from having practiced enough that your body knows what to do. That is the same reason small daily practice matters so much here. 4. Nervous system matters Competition is a reminder that being strong is not the same as performing well. You also need to be able to stay calm, breathe, focus, and execute. That is why in hybrid calisthenics I care so much about: • controlled reps

I extended my morning walk and stopped at a park I haven't been at a park in years and I noticed that they took away part of the pak down Sadly they've been doing that the past couple of years, they demolish the parks to make them "safer" or they just don't replace them . I'm from the generation where we played outside all day and went back home when the lights came on! No social media, just playing outside with friends! Anyways... First time doing monkey bars since I was a child😱! I'll have to practice more often! Plus I got 2 sets of 2 pull ups but I was not warmed up so it's always tougher...I'll be sore tomorrow! It was 5:30am, it was just me and the birds. Perfect morning!😊

Filmed this to check on form, end up trying a bit of a negative press handstand, was somehow slow (on my mind was so much slowerr 😅😅), so wanted to share. Sorry to be shirtless, was just wanting to catch the morning light was not going to share at first, and the mess puppy does on our terrace! The shape, yes totally need to invest in a better form. Didn't had a group like this to start! Do start with the basics, so you will struggle less upfront! Best and good weekend
