Over the years as working as a personal trainer you start to see similar trends or mistakes among people who are actively trying to lose weight. If you look at food for example. Simple things like eating too much or even to little. Can be an obvious problem. But another big issue, for lads in […]
Category Archives: Andrew’s Daily Emails For Dublin Dads:
Let’s face it, those stats yesterday were pretty crazy. From the skipping the gym survey I sent out on yesterday’s email. Over half the lads said they’d put work commitments before themselves. As a generation we’re becoming work horses, putting in BIG hours in the office and trying to make a career for yourself. But […]
The results of a survey ran by the British Heart Foundation have just been released. http://news.sky.com/story/1672145/one-in-five-say-they-can-run-only-100-metres And they’ve described the results as “worrying”. It’s estimated heart disease affects around 7 million people in UK which is a f#cking frightening figure. That it is a whole lot of people! Especially when you consider a lot of […]
Well it’s official gents. Only a matter of time before we’re gonna be the fattest men in Europe in 10 years according to todays new headlines. So what about all the pizza, croissants, wine & beer that all the Europeans are famous for eating? Surely they eat worse than us? Well the facts don’t lie, […]
During last night’s Bulletproof Dad session in the gym one of the lads mentioned he was heading off skiing for the week. (lucky bastard) It’s his first time ever going. So all the lads that have been before gave him a great tip. “first thing you do is book a private lesson” They said he’d […]
Did you see this article trending during the week? How weightlifting has become the new running for women over 40 Here’s the link: http://www.independent.ie/life/health-wellbeing/fitness/why-lifting-is-the-new-running-for-women-over-40-34558662.html In it, the author spoke about how: “Six months ago I was having a middle-aged meltdown. Juggling too many professional projects, I wasn’t sleeping properly and lacked focus during the day” […]
Have received a lot of responses from Wednesday’s email which asked you about what was your biggest stumbling block when it comes to getting in shape. And unsurprisingly most of the lads mentioned the lack of time. Which is fair enough, with a busy job and a young family. There ain’t much time left for […]
You might have noticed last week my emails were sending at the exact same time each day. Reason being I was on holidays for the week, so I’d scheduled them to go out in advance. Just as well, I was away in Las Vegas and the wifi was surprisingly sh#t. If I had to describe […]
It’s probably the most hated exercise I get the lads to do in the gym having to pull the full weight of yourself up on a bar. When I ask someone to do them for first the time they pretty much laugh in my face “not a f#cking hope I’m doing that mate” is in […]
Was down in Kinsale with the lads over the weekend. Great spot. Can’t beat some sunshine in a seaside town, surrounded by good restaurants & bars. My seafood chowder fetish was well & truly fulfilled ; ) Anyways one of lads I was down there with, has been training with me for the last year […]
