Lessons from My Grandmother
Wisdom from our elders!
At 95, my grandmother still had a spring in her step. She rode her electric bicycle potters around her vegetable garden and walked a mile or so daily.
There's a fearlessness about her that, even as her body started to slow down, she went about her life healthy, happy, and unassuming. This got me thinking about how she's lived and what I can learn from her.
Living the Right Way
As a farmer's wife, she worked hard on the farm with my late Grandfather. She ate her grown fruit and vegetables, drank milk straight from the cows, got fresh eggs in the mornings from the chickens, and ate meat from the animals they kept. There was no processed food in her life, nothing from a jar or packet, no soda or unnecessary sugars, chemicals, or hormones. Just homegrown goodness!
She was very active working on the farm, riding horses, walking the dogs, checking the electric fence boundaries, loading hay bales, carrying milk and teaching me and my brothers how to swim.
She lived exactly how humans are designed to; very active, hunting, gathering, and eating what we now know as a paleo diet.
Wisdom from our elders
For many years, I have asked her what the secret to a long life is, and she always replied with a cheeky smile, "A small glass of medicine every day" - referring to her whiskey!
Although funny, I realise she enjoyed each day for what it was. She doesn't want material things or wonder how life might be. She never sweated the small stuff.
There is no absolute secret to a long life. We don't know what we are dealt. However, we all need to eat better, move more, and stress less.
There is wisdom in our elders, and we can sometimes overlook the simplicity of their lives. It's hard to imagine that they were once our age and that, if we're lucky, we'll live to see their age someday!

GYMNASTICS
This Tuesday, we’ll focus on pull-up development. Whether your goal is to continue building strict strength or you’re working to increase kipping capacity, we will cover progressions to help you advance your pull-up performance.
Thursday, we’ll work on handstand walks. Get ready to refine technique, build control, and develop confidence while moving upside down.
HYBRID FITNESS
This week's hybrid session involves combining multiple elements from racing to understand the feel of transitioning between disciplines, followed by a lower-body endurance EMOM.
MOBILITY
Take your front squat mobility to the next level with this progression class focused on dynamic flow, stability, and control. Building on the foundations established in our previous session, we’ll reinforce improved mobility in the ankles, hips, thoracic spine, and shoulders while introducing active movement patterns and stability drills that directly translate to enhanced squat performance. Expect to move through controlled flows, tempo holds, and mobility-activation sequences.
WEIGHTLIFTING
Weightlifting this week is cleans. Working on speed under the bar and catch position, in the full squat. Spicy complex of clean pull, hang power clean, squat clean. Followed by some heavy clean pulls. Finishing with doubles on the back squats.
