Lucas Hardie grew up playing multi-sports — baseball, hockey and rugby. He wasn't much for training in the gym until he suffered a knee injury in his senior year of high school playing rugby. He spent all his time in the gym after that and particularly found an interest in strength sports. Lucas became a certified personal trainer in 2005 and began helping people transform their bodies and minds through strength training. It was at this time that he also started competing regularly in Powerlifting. In 2014, Lucas suffered a bicep injury which led him to a dark place. Prior to the injury he was working towards getting on an international stage in powerlifting and had devoted all his time to this goal. Lucas came out of the recovery realising that he had developed an extremely poor body composition and that his movement capacities were limited from training. He knew he had to make real change in his flexibility. Lucas dropped all traditional methods of training and started exploring the depths of what he didn't know. He sought out disciplines that required higher degrees of flexibility such as Gymnastics and Circus Training and began applying these concepts. After three years of hard devoted training, Lucas developed a full Front Split, Side Split, Pancake Split, Head 2 Toe, and a decent Back Bridge. You can hear more about this journey in this Range of Strength podcast episode.

Kaja started her yoga practice in 2018 and became a certified yoga teacher in January 2019. She has later taken courses in meditation, mindfulness-based stress reduction and pilates. Kaja is also an artist and vegan for eight years. “To me, yoga is more of a moving meditation, than a workout. It's about connecting with my inner self, finding stillness and making space in the body for deeper breaths and free movements. I teach a mix of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, while focusing on creating a feeling of bliss and calmness in the soul of the practitioner. Music and rhythm is an important element in my classes, and is actively used as a tool to stay present and create a feeling of oneness within the group. My goal is always to leave the students feeling more at peace and with the corners of their mouths lifted.” “Yoga has helped me find peace in everyday life. I breathe deeper and I am more grateful for the little things than before I started practicing. I have also gotten much better at living in the present moment, instead of constantly thinking about what is coming next or what has been. Most people live very stressful lives these days, and rarely take time for self-reflection and silence. Meeting up on the mat and setting aside time for stillness is one of the most beautiful and important things I do for myself”.

To say this diet has taken the health and fitness industry by storm is an understatement.

In the third of this 4-part series on Men's Health for Movember 2017, I spoke with Livin' ambassador, Alistair Mitchell. Alistair's family have long owned caravan parks and resorts across the country and he has just sold his park here in Darwin, the FreeSpirit Resort. Honestly, the food in that place is remarkable! Alistair grew up in country Victoria and lived a typical country life playing footy, smoking cigarettes and hanging out at the pub with his mates. When a series of challenging circumstances fell upon him in very short succession, he fell into a habit of very expensive drug addiction, which led to his suicide attempt driving off a bridge. Believe in fate or not, as he was driving to his death, his phone rang. Unable to turn the bluetooth off, he answered the call.

In the second of this 4 part series on Men's Health for Movember 2017, I chatted with mental health advocate, Jackson Clark. I taught Jackson in grade 8 and 9 and have watched his career in sports journalism flourish from his first writings back in those days as a fourteen year old kid. When Jackson used the laws of attraction to manifest his own show on Mix 104.9, he asked me to come on board as a regular guest broadcaster, talking about fitness, nutrition and psychology. Off the back of his massive social media following, that show, Balls 'n' All, has become one of the most well-known and comprehensive sporting talk shows on Darwin radio.

You may have heard of BMI, or Body Mass Index. The BMI measurement was first derived in the early to mid-1800s by Adolphe Quetelet, a Belgian astronomer, mathematician, statistician and sociologist. So far in modern history, the BMI has been seen as the only number that “if not fully satisfactory, [the BMI] is at least as good as any other relative weight index as an indicator of relative obesity” (Ancel Keys, Journal of Chronic Diseases, 1972). Today, guest blogger Sam Todd puts things into perspective when it comes to BMI. In this episode you'll learn: - What BMI is - How it's calculated - The weight class categories you fall into for a particular BMI - Real life examples - The Waist-to-Hip ratio - Plus, what and how many measures you should be paying to attention to.
