Becoming Reborn

"I wish" and "Lucky"

These are two things I don't like hearing people say… Lets start with "I wish"…

Examples of how this is used is "I wish I had that body", "I wish I could get that car" or "I wish I had that much time"… and That person is just "lucky"...

We are all in control of OUR SELVES so rather than wish for it, we should work harder and/or smarter for it…

WORK FOR YOUR REST:

Work for your....NETFLIX.. Huh?...

- I relate a lot of my day to day work to my training. - Often when training or running a EMOM (every minute on the minute) I yell "work for your rest".

- As with an EMOM you have to get X amount of reps completed within the minute and the faster you get it done the more rest you get before the minute ticks over and you rip back in.

- I Literally did an EMOM this morning and I find that it's not only efficient but it always seems to get me working to my maximum ability.

- And I apply the same format to my day to day life..

Looking for inspiration?

Ill give you all you need.

Jump on any Reborn Zoom classes and I guarantee there will be a mum training there, and being an inspiration in some shape or form. Any parent out there knows how hard it is having the kids locked up at home for even a couple of hours in a day. Let alone our current situation, where all kids are locked in for the majority of the day, save for maybe a walk or bike ride for an hour. Most of our mums are dealing with the pressures of running the house, cooking, never ending cleaning and dealing with the stress of their partners situation at work PLUS most of them also have their own work to get done as well. But despite all these distractions, tough times and hair pulling moments our mums

KEEP SHOWING UP…

Now more then ever do you need routine...

- If you are working from home at the moment this would be so foreign to you as you would used to schedule or being told what to do and when to do it...

- Now it's on you to create your schedule...

- My head felt like it was going to fall off the first week of the shut down because I was completely out of routine and just being reactive to the situation...

- But now the world has calmed down, we know what lays in front of us, we may not know for how long but you should have a grip on what your days should look like

Here are my tips to get into routine.

What I have noticed in the past 3 weeks of shut down is there seems to be 2 kinds of people. There are the people who are falling victim to the covid19 situation and there is people who are finding solutions and making the best out of a bad situation Now first of all I know how how serious this situation is and understand the effects it has had on everyone but this blog is about focusing on the solution not the problem. And to also switch attention PURELY to the things that WE CAN CONTROL. I feel the best way to look at this and to possibly change your mindset towards this situation is bring up a reading that I fell in love with a few years ago.

"The Fight of Two Wolves Within You"

I was fortunate enough to spend a good chunk growing up with Boyd Cordner as he lives up the road from me. Boydy and His Brother Dane were like my brothers growing up, we did EVERYTHING together... After the boys moved back to old bar I didn't get to see them much but every time I catch up we reminisce on the good times... Success is not easy to come by and by the time Boyd was 22 he had played first grade, won a premiership, play for his country and won a origin series... He had literally done it all... But He wasn't done there... We go through all good and bad times leading up to now where Boydy is a back to back Origin winner and premiership winner...

Here is his story.

There is tough times ahead, there is no doubt about that... - BUT it doesn't mean we give up and let our HEALTH deteriorate... - In these uncertain times we need to find routine and structure to keep us moving forward and accountable to getting through these times in a healthy manner ... - I'll be sticking to a simple daily routine that I believe will not only help you get through this but help you improve your mental health, physical fitness and strengthen your confidence in yourself ...

Now more than ever it's important to have a healthy lifestyle. If there is just one thing to take out of this coronavirus, it is the importance of you taking care of yourself physically which in return will benefit your mental health. I'm going to start with my extremely biased opinion, which I know will ruffle some feathers, BUT this IS just my opinion because of my past failures and 12 years experience in the fitness industry. I think it's super sad that Australian Government considers GYMS non essential and a LIQUOR STORE is considered essential.

Its been a wild ride and its only been just over 2 weeks since the gym industry was rocked by immediate shut down. There was no surprise that it seemed like the whole world came crashing down on that day. Especially for myself being a gym owner. The future was now completely uncertain. The week before the shut down Reborn recorded its highest ever numbers, we had our highest attendances with our member averaging over 4 sessions a week and you could just feel the energy bouncing off the walls EVERY SESSION. We were in a good place… no we were in a GREAT place. Reborn and I have always prided itself on its COMMUNITY. But there is no real way to measure how STRONG your community really is…. until now. This was the test of all test. Would our reborn Community be what we as trainers thought it was or was it all smoke and mirrors?
