Greetings

Day's salutations reader,

My name is Rob, I am 23 years old and this blog is about my journey and experiences in becoming a holistic fitness trainer. STOP! Story time: I finished college last year and graduated with Second Class Honours [swish!] in Product Design from DIT. During college I really enjoyed product design but once I graduated I got an internship [after many moons of character-building job hunting]. I was working as a UX/Web designer in a start-up...and I hated it. I absolutely hated working in an office and loathed sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen for 8-9 hours every day. Now many people would argue that that’s just how it is, get a job, even though you realize it’s not for you, and just stick it out. Well, that’s not how I play the game. So I followed my heart, brought my brain along for the ride, and here I am. On my journey through health and fitness land, barefoot and in shorts of course.

My goal is to educate and train people about how their body and minds all work together in a holistic way. Everything is connected. You can’t be a strong person if you have a weak character or an inability to be present in your body [more on that later]. Just the same that you can’t be a strong person mentally if you are overweight, weak and have poor posture. Everything is connected, your body is the physical representation of who and what you are and do. The same way our moods can affect our posture, we can improve our moods by improving our posture.
Through this blog I will explain my experiences and ideas, I will also be talking about anything new I am experimenting with. Hopefully there will be an idea or topic that resonates with you and you will be able to take something away from what I’m presenting.
It is important to note that these are all just my opinions and ideas and the best thing I can offer you are my experiences, knowledge, new perspectives and to point you in that direction. Try it yourself, see if it works for you. Take that experience and evolve, always strive to challenge yourself and develop not only your body but your character. And most importantly learn to follow your intuition, it's the bees knees.

 Also I love 90's music and avocados. 

My blog posts from now will probably mention avocados less [can't say that about 90's music] but I will be sharing my knowledge and experiences with topics such as my mentors, posture, metabolic training, deep breathing, bodyweight circuits, myofascial release, dynamic warmups etc. etc. Anything that I feel is worth sharing and may be resourceful to someone interested in developing and improving themselves.
