Your life depends on it!
It all began with Plan C on Sunday 11th March. Plan B was put on hold due to uncertainty about the weather. So Plan C was devised and a session titled "The Hills Have Eyes" was born.

We have some bold and adventurous plans for Oxygen this year (I'm a real "plan" guy in case you didn't know.) I'm also a friggen workhorse and when I determine my goals and a plan that goes with it I will work towards it tenaciously. I read a lot of business books, and obviously health & fitness books. In both fields nothing great was ever accomplished without a very well thought out and … [Read more...]

To sum it up in five words: THE BEST CHALLENGE WEEK YET!

Being the last week of summer we're obviously looking at lower temperatures over the next 6 months. I've had a few clients, friends and even curious onlookers ask me what we do in the cooler conditions of autumn and winter. Well I'm here to tell you, NOTHING CHANGES! In the rain, we still train. In the cool, let exercise rule. If there's a gale, we're training, don't bail. If it gets … [Read more...]
