Maybe you have seen this before, maybe you haven’t, either way it’s motivational. This Nike TV advert shows Basketball Player Matt Scott listed a load of bullsh*t excuses for not working out.

For many people, gyms are a convenient way to get into shape. But sometimes, gyms can be quite a scary place where people feel judged, get stared at, and feel self-conscious. Besides, why workout in a sweaty, musty gym when you can train outdoors with fresh air, or in your living room or basement where you don’t have to worry about any weird looks or awkward moments.
Today’s guest, Jon Ham, runs a personal training company called Fitness on the Run, that specializes in training people from within their house and out in the great outdoors.
I asked him for some tips on where you should start if you’d like to train at home, and he shared his favourite exercises, tricks to stay motivated, and some thoughts on training in general.
If gyms aren’t your thing, check out what Jon has to say about working out at home.
“Impossible,” is what most people would say. Not Stefaan. After setting a Guinness World Record in 2008 for running 20 long-distance triathlons in a year, he decided in 2010 it was time to step it up even more. Way more… So much more that my body is in pain just thinking about this next sentence:
Stefaan ran a marathon a day for a year straight. 365 marathons. No rest days. No excuses.
When asked about the experience by a journalist, this is how he described the challenge:
“I don’t regard my marathon year as torture. It is more like a regular job. I am running just as Joe Average goes to work on Monday morning, whether or not he feels like it. I don’t always feel like running, but when I am done, I take a shower, have some physiotherapy for an hour and that wraps up my day.”
Clockwork. Get up, run, recover, repeat. I can guarantee you that if you show this level of commitment to anything in your life, you’ll be successful, whether it’s diet and exercise, career, finance, or relationships.
Enjoy!

Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, a young lady sat in genetics class doodling aimlessly when she accidentally overheard the professor’s lecture. The words he spoke at that moment forever changed her life. He said, “Just because you were born with particular genes doesn’t mean you’re doomed to develop those traits.”
What?!?
As the offspring of parents who suffered from diabetes, heart disease, cancer and obesity, naturally, he captured me.
What he, so long ago, referred to is now known as the epigenome. Beautiful word, isn’t it? It’s the idea that genes are triggered according to external factors, i.e. what we eat, our level of physical fitness, stress, and our environment. But, let’s all agree that this isn’t genetics class and there’s A LOT more to genes that just turning them on and off so easily. OK?
