4th June should officially be known as Royal Burpee Day!

In an age where it seems every day of the year is dedicated to something, I'd like to propose that we honour the birthday of a man who has had as much impact on the world of fitness as anyone: Dr Royal H. Burpee.

The humble burpee is loved by some, dreaded by many, and widely regarded as a self-inflicted form of torture. Few exercises can guarantee breathlessness, burning muscles, sweating and occasional feelings of nausea quite so efficiently!

The origins of this incredible full-body exercise may surprise you. It was created by the wonderfully named Royal Burpee, a US Naval Ensign and Doctor of Physiology. Looking at his photograph, you might assume he was a tough-as-nails physical training instructor who devised the exercise to separate the strong from the weak. But you'd be wrong.

The burpee was originally designed as a mobility assessment. Its purpose was simply to evaluate a person's ability to get up from the floor and to measure recovery and general fitness. It wasn't until the 1960s that the US military began using it as a more demanding conditioning tool.

And those original burpees were a far cry from the monsters we know today. There were no energy-sapping jumps, no press-ups, no lunges, tuck jumps or any of the other creative variations that fitness instructors have added over the years in their quest to make us question our life choices.

So today, on what would have been his 127th birthday, let's raise a sweat in honour of Dr Royal Burpee and celebrate Royal Burpee Day.

As for my bootcamp... we'll definitely be celebrating tonight. 💪😈

Although theses not much sun around in winter, when it is out it’s so powerful. Sunlight produces vitamin D which amongst other thing supports immune function and serotonin which is the happy hormone and essential to help us sleep. When the suns out take advantage of it to stay well over winter!

Nutrition is a subject that becomes needlessly complicated when people start trying to isolate nutrients looking for the magic compounds. The reality is that co-factors and synergists in the whole foods provide the building blocks for the active ingredients to be absorbed. If you want real nutritional advice about eating real food drop me a message

An interesting program about how testing and technology can be used to monitor and enhance health. Biological age is an interesting concept, we all age differently and undoubtedly lifestyle factors can help us age better.
I did the glycan age test (about 7 mins in) and a think this is a good measure to give either leverage to change or confirmation of habits.
The dark side was the guy who was obsessed by tracking everything, I can’t help but feel that there no point living to an old age if you spent a quarter of your working day measuring vitals rather than living your life.
If your interested in taking a test to measure your biological age, let me know.

Sport nutrition is a really interesting field to improve performance whatever your level of competing. Even for a recreational athlete, insuring your properly fuelled before exercise, where as post exercise the right nutrient ms can aid repair, refuelling and recovery.
My favourite breakfast when I go climbing is peanut butter ans banana on whole meal toast, it has good sources of protein, quick and slow release carbs and some fat.
