ULTIMATE FITNESS GOAL fizzYcaL 2022-09-29 | Listened to an interesting podcast episode with @PeterAttiaMD and @hubermanlab. Attia spoke of a mental exercise he uses with his clients, which is to visualise how they want the last 10 years of their life to look, and to use that to inform how they live now. Not only do I want to live independently in my senior years, but I want to comfortably lift my grandchildren (and possibly great-grandchildren) in the air, at least until they’re toddlers. A six-pack is just a bonus.Watch the podcast here - youtu.be/DTCmprPCDqc

Post pregnancy functional strength training because MOTHERHOODS A WORKOUT fizzYcaL 2021-11-04 | Repetitive strain injury isn't the most obvious gift that comes to mind when one becomes a parent. Of course there are feelings of intense joy and privilege, but then there's the awkward lifts, carries, uncomfortable breast feeding positions and lack of sleep.Frankie Holah (instagram.com/frankieholah) is a South West London based pre and post natal personal trainer and mother. She’s been collaborating with Ify (fizzYcaL's...project manager) on an ongoing project called LUNA, which prompted the idea for this video.Filmed, edited, produced and co-nappy changing by Ify. Additional camerawork by mothers Indre Radziute and Lisa Groves. Thank you ladies! And we can't forget Fison gym (fisonfitness.co.uk) for the use of their facilities - big ups and big thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Transcript from the video:Prepping, prepping people for that in pregnancy, it's just wild how many different things affect core and back and posture. So many things that you just don't necessarily think about until you're doing them and you're aching because of it. It's not just staying toned and trim while you're pregnant. Like yeah, it's amazing to be fit but...I'd say my goals now are to be functionally strong so that my body works well. And then as she gets older, and grows up more, and gets heavier to still be strong enough to kind of be fun mama.I've trained people who've said they're worried about training in pregnancy, and then as soon as they've started moving and they feel the benefit of it, and they love what they can do during the pregnancy, also after you've had a baby as well, they're just kind of amazed by it.You have to provide a space that makes new mums feel comfortable to walk into, trying to make it as welcoming, and as you know, open for discussion as possible. I think, I think it goes long way with new mums, and a good playlist. Cause they like some nineties and naughties music.Like, previous style of training there was a lot of focus on how many pull-up reps can I get in, and what trick can I do. Now I'd probably focus more on being able to breathe well, the function of your diaphragm, and that link to your pelvic floor is really underrated. And then the kind of, what people might think, are like the boring exercises, things like dead bugs. Like, probably wouldn't have done those four and a half years ago. A bit boring. Now it's like vital.I'm pretty positive that my pelvic floor's stronger now, functions better post having a baby than it was like four and a half years ago.[Interviewer] Okay, last question, who is Frank?Given him when I was born. Frank is my teddy bear. Well and truly a member of the family.

I am 66 years old. I was born in 1952. I was born in Barbados, so I am part of the Windrush generation. I came over here in 1957. When I retired, from what I call my "real job" which I spent 39 years doing, I was just a little bit bored at home. I was doing gym stuff and training people anyway. I just thought it was a good thing to get into just for myself. I started competing when I was, I think I was, 43 and that's only because I took my children to the track. And I used to see these, what I considered these, old guys running around. So I thought, well if they can do it I'll give it a go.My first international competition was in 2005. It was a world championships in Spain. I entered the 100m, 200m and 400m. And I made the final of all of them and I came 4th in the 400 in my first major competition. Everybody kept coming up to me saying, "that's really disappointing. Coming 4th that's the worst place to finish." And I tell you it's not. It is not and I nearly got onto the podium in my first competition. So that for me was the starting point. Oh and incidentally going back to achievements, my four by 100m team still hold the world record for the four by 100 relay in the M55 age group. That was in 2008. Yeah, we set that in 2008. It hasn't been broken yet. Look that one up.You're never too old, but it has to be tempered with this realisation that the body does slow down but it doesn't, it doesn't stop.I've reached a stage where I can actually train and maintain, but it's not only training it's about: eating well and living well. Your lifestyle has to complement what you're trying to achieve. Because people try and achieve these goals they set for themselves, but yet they don't address the lifestyle. Some people's lifestyle are not conducive to training. You can get away with it when you're young, you can't when you're older.
Powerlifting Great-Grandma Val Swaine - Mastering Youth Ep 4 fizzYcaL 2018-06-14 | If you enjoyed this video please like, share and or comment to help it spread.60-something year young Great-Grandma Val Swaine is a beautiful blend of opposites: shy yet courageous, sweet yet...a real badass! She’s overcome fear and personal loss to become a champion powerlifter and a passionate advocate for living well in later years.This is the fourth in our 'Mastering Youth' series which celebrates athletes, movers and fitness heroes who are over 60 years young.fizzYcaL is an independent, self-funded labour of love, but if you'd like to help maintain the quality of our work please visit our store - fizzycal.com/store ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Transcript from the video:I'm Val Swaine. I'm 62 years old. I was born in 1955 and I was born in Bradford. I joined the gym three years ago. I decided to go down the route of training with a personal trainer. And I went to see Mike. I was impressed by his attitude towards technique. He was very keen that we got the technique right. And Mike said to me one day, "Would you like to do a competition?" and I thought 'He thinks I'm good enough to do a competition,' so I said "Yeah!" So we turned up on the day and we were like kidspeering through a curtain into this other world. We could see all these real strong looking women, but at the end of the competition it was just absolutely fantastic. I had this absolute fantastic feeling of achievement. I'd actually qualified to do the British Championships at the end of thatcompetition. I entered the category for 56 kg, 60 to 64. And I got the British records. So I was really, really pleased with myself. It's shown me that I can do things that I never imagined I could do, which is great for my confidence. I think things happen in life and your confidence quite often takes a dip. And I find that I come into the gym and my confidence goes up, and I believe in myself, I believe that I can do things that I just never thought were possible. Initially when I was chatting to one of the girls that I train with I said I'm really nervous about doing this. She said, "If you can inspire one person then that's a good enough reason." And I thought 'of course!' If by doing this somebody is watching and thinks, "I can do that too." Then that's worth it. And I just think anybody in fitness, if they can get people moving, keep people moving or people move a bit more then it's all worth it at the end of the day.

I was born the 9th of February 1953 and that makes me 65 years old today. Most of the time, a lot of time I come into here and I don't have a plan. And all of a sudden it just seems to snowball. And that's it, an hour and a half later I've had a great time. A lot of people ask me have you got a military background, because they seem to think, "He might have a some kind of military background." And I take it as a compliment but no, certainly not. Or a gymnastic background. I've never done gymnastics in my life before. And it's all just, I want to have a go at that, I wanna have a go at that. So I think my knowledge has been far greater as a result of that. I know my body better, I've not just been doing the same exercisesall the time and you get that repetitive injury type thing wearing your body out in one particular way. So just, I just consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none. So try things. They might not always work for you. But you know what, if you try it and you don't like it maybe try something else. And you don't have to have a gym to do it. I can go to a park, I'll come across a log, pick it up and let's do some movements. Let's start throwing it, running after it, throwing it, chasing it. Mobility is so important, so important. So without mobility the strength you have you're not using to its full potential. And I think long term it's good for your joints, your muscles, ligaments, tendons to be as mobile as you can. Just open your mind, just get a bit more adventurous about what you're doing. If you have that attitude where, "Maybe I'll have a go at this, maybe I'll have a go at that." So don't be so narrow-minded about whatever. I think that really helps as well and I keep going back to it, but fun. Have some FUN!”
65th Birthday Training (Teaser) - Mastering Youth Ep 3 fizzYcaL 2018-02-15 | Here’s a teaser from the forthcoming 3rd episode of the ‘Mastering Youth’ series.Spending the day with Mike Millen as he transitioned from 64 to 65 years young definitely put our quarter/mid-life crises in perspective. The former electrician who started a modelling career at 60 years old dropped a few gems. One that was particularly relevant to us was: “Try things, it might not always work for you. But you know what, if you try it and you don’t like it maybe try something else.”Keep it locked for another life affirming episode of our ‘Mastering Youth’ series dropping soon!
