I’m going to give you a brief economics lesson because we are holistic teachers. So if you find that boring or offensive, you can shut down, close the email and go back to whatever you are going. After all I know there are many who, for whatever reason, have interest only for the narrow focus […]

With the Australian central ‘bank’, the Reserve ‘Bank’ of Australia, cutting interest rates to an all-time low, many industry commentators came out and put their spin on the decision. Amongst them was the incumbent governments Treasurer, who suggested: “”Now is the time to borrow and invest, whether you be a household or small business – […]

Many have noted the rise of popularity of the strength sports, particularly Olympic and power lifting. A spin off from the training facilities offering ‘Crossfit’, many suggest, which is a positive for the respective strength sports (and equipment suppliers to these sports!) What has also become apparent is the trends in training in some circles. […]

Shortly after the ‘stretching before training and games is bad’ paradigm raised up in the late 1990s, a default position was also promoted – to stretch afterwards.
