Introducing Ryan...
Well it’s finally arrived, my journey of helping children and adults reach their fitness goals and
beyond has started. We start with the return to school, after a very long and very hot summer we
return back to school to our new classes and to see our friends again. As an ex teaching assistant I
think the first day back in school is special for every child, meeting your new teacher, being a year
older in the school hierarchy, a new classroom to learn in. It’s all very exciting! I believe that a strong
start to the school year sets the pace for the rest of it.
My aim at bitesize bootcamp is to give children the best possible start to their childhoods, help
them make great memories and keep their fitness levels at a decent level ready for future life. With
the adults though it’s a little different as their childhoods are in the past, I aim to target their future
and how they’re going to be feeling both physically and mentally. Our classes our challenging yet
fun, they will help you become stronger and hopefully relieve a little stress from your work life, and
stress is easy to come by with the rushing of back to school life where I’m sure many of us have
enjoyed countless lazy mornings during our summer break. Now were faced with early starts and
school runs before entering our own work place. So we aim to bring the stress levels down by
putting you all through your physical paces. It has been proven that the mind relaxes after an hours
exercise, making your thoughts clearer and becoming more productive overall.
With summer now over and winter well and truly on its way, it’s that time of year again where every
day chores such as taking the bins out, hanging the washing on the line and even walking to your car
in the morning become an even bigger chore in the cold winter climate. The very thought of putting
more than 2 layers on is mentally exhausting. Whereas most dread the cold mornings, I see it as a
great opportunity to really test ourselves. Yes it is much harder to get up in the morning of the
winter with it being still as dark from the night before and about 19 degrees colder than our summer
mornings, but however if you start as you mean to go on it will only get easier until it becomes
routine, making you more resistant to the chilling winter breeze. Once you’ve concurred the cold
and embraced it as part of your daily life, training in it will become a pleasure. What’s important to
remember is that by training in the cold outdoors will only make a tougher more robust version of
you! So this message is this. Use the cold as your winter motivation to become stronger, to carry on
training.
This will set yourself up very nicely for the lighter nights to come. I believe the winter brings out the
best of peoples training as once you’re smashing your session it becomes very enjoyable and we also
burn more calories training outside in the cold as the body will naturally try and keep itself warm
even without you doing some sort of training.
