For this home workout all you will need is one powerband. I am using a super mini band, but you can make this workout harder by using a higher resistance band for some or all of the exercises.

This is the third home workout I have put together, for you (and your family) to try out at home!

Here is the second workout, in the series I will be doing to keep people fit and strong at home during the Covid-19 lockdown.

This is the first of many home workouts I will be posting over the coming months to help keep people fit and strong during the COVID-19 chaos.

Music taste is very personal. But the love of music is universal. Having a great track to listen to while working out - whether it’s lifting weights in the gym or running outside, music can give you the extra edge.

Not everyone has the same taste in music, and what some find motivating to train to, others want to close off their ears. Below is my top 10 tracks for the gym. It will become another playlist I put on for when I do conditioning sessions with my clients. It's a great all rounder list!

Every year I put together a list of my top workout tracks. These are the songs that were released (or released on an album) in that year, and form part of a playlist for my own training sessions, that I continually update.

Being a powerlifter, I do a lot of bench pressing. I lift heavy four times a week, and most weeks that includes benching six times. One of the most popular exercises in the gym (especially for men) is the bench press, but you see far less people working on their opposing back muscles. Building a strong back is essential to gaining and maintaining good posture, and if you're someone like me, who is interested in building a bigger bench, it's also essential for bench gains!

In the last few months of last year, I started to feel some shoulder pain while squatting, as frustrating as it was, I found I could push through it and still make some great squat progress. However, I wasn’t making any bench progress. I put this down to going on an overseas holiday and not benching as much during that time. My bench definitely suffers if I don’t keep it up regularly. However, my bench started to go backwards and my shoulder pain increased. I knew it was time to get it checked out (I wanted bench gains!).
