Hi team,

As I have got older, I go for simple, life is too short for complicated and clutter. One book that helped me understand this was "The Power of Less" I highly recommend it.

I have the worlds best gym at my house, Except that it's not covering and it's outside and I live in England so working out in winter or summer is always a different story!

I have:-

A pull up bar

4 olympic bars

300kg of weight plates

1 EZ bar

Dumbbells from 2kg up to 30kg

Kettlebells from 16kg to 32kg

Landmine

Split Squat Stand

Dip bars

Bench

2 squat stands

1 x ply box

Battle rope

6 sandbags

Climbing rope

Suspension Trainer

Ab Wheel

The funny thing is I don't use it all, the best workouts I do and when I get best results I only use:

Pull up bar

Weight plates and bars

Dumb bells

Dip bar

Kettlebells

Ab Wheel

That's it.

The simple stuff with less stuff works.

The more options you have the more confusing things can be, that's why when people walk into a gym they are all so confused as they have no idea where to start. There are machines and balls and weights and anything and everything.

That's why social media and the interweb is so confusing and everybody jumps from diet to diet to workout programme to workout programme without focusing on one thing at a time.

The simple stuff.

You can get a pretty good workout with just a kettlebell, pull up bar and an ab wheel.

You can eat a pretty good diet if you have 4 breakfasts, 4 lunch' and 4 dinners in your armoury and just cycle them.

Again, another good read for that kind of thing is simple:

"5 Ingredients" by Jamie Oliver

Simple stuff.

Don't over complicate your workouts, your food, your life.

Show up

Eat well

Be consistent

Do your best

What are your workouts?

Here is a simple workout for you:-

The Saturday Morning Bootcamps are another way to keep your workout simple and just get things done on a Saturday Morning and then enjoy the rest of your weekend.

The jokes that the coach tells are worth the £8 alone!
