Finally made it to Bradgate for a ramble and it didn’t disappoint! Thank you all for the chats!

December is traditionally the time that everyone stops or at least loses focus and I think that isn't a good idea. I genuinely believe that setting a simple challenge can help keep some structure and discipline at a time when it normally vanishes. So, my challenge to you is this. Choose one exercise from the below and do that exercise everyday this month for 60 secs. I don't care how many reps you do, some days you'll do more, other less this is about setting yourself a goal and being disciplined enough to see it through. 1. Press ups (my favourite) 2. Mountain climbers 3. Burpees There is something there all of you coukd do. Remember though it's just 1, the SAME exercise every day for 1 min. You'd be also amazed at how quickly you see improvements if you stick with it. This is something I've spoken about before and I believe it was thr start if where I became more disciplined and honest with myself. Who is up for this challenge? Throw your name into the comments on this post and let's see what we can achieve.

Right then — time to give the new NTCZ pillars you may have seen me banging on about on socials a run-out. Nothing heavy, just a week of testing them in real life. Here’s the plan: - Discipline: Pick one small non-negotiable (press-ups, daily walk, water, whatever). Do it every day. - Honesty: Track one thing truthfully or spend some time digging into your excuses. |We often kid ourselves, and this can scupper all plans around change. - Struggle: Once this week, choose the harder option (finish the workout, park further away than needed and walk, skip snooze, grab that cold shower ❄️). - Fitness: Commit to 3 movement sessions this week. Doesn’t matter what they are; just get them done. Drop yours below, then check back at the end of the week to let us know how you got on. No prizes, no leaderboard — just a quick way to start living the pillars, not just reading about them.

Sorry for the radio silence guys, manic time sorting mums house and visiting her as she's in hospital. Back to it thus week!

I’m going to a spa soon (excited! 🤩)there they have big whiskey barrels full of icy cold water (horrible!) you have to sit in them up to your neck! would normally walk straight past anything like that but thinking as a challenge should I do it?? 😱🥶❄️
