Morning Workout 09/08/2009
 Ready For Action A couple of Kettlebells and a field is all you really need to keep fit. This morning the sun was out and it was about 23 degrees...perfect.  Clean and Press A nice warm up with some basic movements.  Split Squat and Press
 Single Arm Overhead Press This raises the metabolic rate like crazy...great for burning fat...especially done before breakfast!!!  Running with Kettlebells After the warm up it's down to business...running the length of the field and back again whilst holding a 16k kettlebell in one hand and a 13k in the other.  Throwing the Kettlebell After 60 secs rest it's time to throw the 16k kettlebell as far as I can,pick it up and repeat,the length of the field and back again.  Swing and Throw Another variation of the throw is to swing the kettlebell between my legs and hurl backwards over my head...this makes sure I train both the flexor and extensor chains. Alternate a set of running with kettlebells with one of the throwing exercises with 1 min rest between sets...do this for 30 mins and it's time for breakfast!!!

 Fillet Beef and Organic Salad This is what I call real food...Beef fillet and Organic Salad. The beef is from Windsor Farm Shop and is lightly fried in Duck Fat...the salad is organic from Waitrose and I added organic extra virgin olive oil,a pinch of himalayan sea salt,organic black pepper and a pinch of organic dried sage...topped off with a sliced clove of organic garlic!!!  Pud For pud I mixed Organic Pineapple Chunks,Organic Greek Yoghurt,Organic Cashew Nut Butter and Organic Pine Nuts together..Yum Yum. Healthy food doesn't have to cost a fortune or take an age to prepare...I estimate this meal cost me about £6 and took about 10 mins to prepare....it can be made a lot cheaper by substituting the Fillet Beef for a cheaper cut or not using organic ingredients but I do not skimp on my food...I estimate I spend £100 a week on food as I buy organic whenever possible.  The Proof Many people think I am nuts for spending that kind of money on food but I am passionate about my health and the benefits of organic food...this photo shows I try and lead by example rather than tell everyone what to do but not follow my own advice...how many so-called health care professionals can say that? I will be 50 yrs old next year. Postural Assessment 09/07/2009
I am currently working with a client who had been suffering for the past two years with pain and swelling in his right knee...the problem was only apparent when he walked and was fine when he rode his bike. This chap had seen various Osteopaths and Chiropractors about his problem and although they helped,the problem still wasn't resolved. During his postural assessment we found he had a 8 kilo...that's 17.6lbs weight shift to his right That meant he had an extra 17.6lbs going through his right knee all day long...when he walked that would have increased due to impact. On further investigation we found he had fallen from his bike two years ago and landed on his right side...it was possible his body was still in the protective phase it would have assumed at the time. Anyway,after two weeks of following his stretching/strengthening program he reported a massive improvement in his knee pain. In a couple of weeks we will do another posture assessment and measure the exact improvement objectively. As Paul Chek says:"Your programme is only as good as your assessment". Success with Quantum Touch 09/04/2009
I often use a combination of massage and Quantum Touch to help clients heal from pain or injury as I find it more effective. Last year a client had such a painful lower back she had to be helped onto my massage table and she was in tears with pain when we got her on. In this case because of her level of pain I did no massage as it was too painful for her so for a whole hour I just gently lay my hands on her low back and ran energy into it...I asked her to tell me of any sensations she felt during the treatment. Initially she said her back felt warm,hot and tingling...later she said she felt the pain moving from deep in her low back to the surface...near the end of the treatment she said the area felt protected. When the hour was up I asked her to get off the table and I expected to have to help her,but imagine my surprise when she practically leapt off the table and said her back was fine now!! During her treatment I ran energy into her back through my hands by regulating my breathing and with visualisations of energy flowing through my body and hands into her back...I also visualised her back glowing with white light and held an image of a totally healed spine in my mind. Another thing I did was ask for help from my guardian angels,her guardian angels,Archangel Michael and Raphael who is the angel of healing. Now,many may say this is all mumbo jumbo,but whatever it is IT WORKED and that is all I am really interested in. A couple of months ago I saw a client suffering from knee pain so I did a posture assessment and muscle tests to find his weaknesses...I also massaged his leg around the knee area and then ran energy into the area for about 20 mins...this guy told me he could feel the energy running into his knee...I then gave him a stretching/strengthening programme based on my assessment and a week later I contacted him and his knee was fine. Two weeks ago this same chap hurt his back lifting and asked me to see if I could help...I massaged the low back for 30 mins and then ran energy into it for 30 mins...again he said he felt the energy running into his back...this guy is a Hindu so I asked for help from deities from Hinduism...Ganesh and Krishna along with Sai Baba...I imagined their hands on top of mine all sending love and healing into his back. After the session his back pain had gone!!! This just shows how the body can heal itself when given the right conditions. No way did I heal these clients...I can no more heal anybody than I can digest the food they just ate...I just provided a better environment for their body to heal than they had before. www.quantumtouch.com for more info |
