Hi! I'm Sam.

Your time saving strength workout for this week [use it]

Published 3 months ago • 2 min read

One of my clients is off on business to Australia and NZ over the next two weeks. She's a highly decorated RAF personnel.

One of the issues, besides getting over jet lag is the limited time she has to train, around 30 mins per day - 5:30am to 6.

It's a horrible time to train at the best of times, let alone jet lag creeping its way in and trying to throw you off course. Couple that with menopause, and a decrease in strength (due to time of training and the late-night traveling), here's what I suggested:

Density Set A

6 x TRX Rows

8x Reverse Lunges/leg

Set a timer for 12 minutes and aim to get as many sets in as you can in that time.

For the reverse lunges, if you don't have dumbbells, wear a rucksack and stuff it with books. It'll make it harder. You can keep it on for the rows. Just tighten it


Density Set B

6 x Hand Release Press Ups

8x TRX Hamstring Curls

12x TRX Y Raise

Set a timer for 12 minutes and aim to get as many sets in as you can in that time.

For the hand-release press-ups, lower yourself as slowly as you can until you're flat on the floor. Then aim to push your body hard off the floor to return to the start.

The TRX uses the same length for the following two exercises.


Density Set C

Core Crusher

I've set up the last part for a bit of fun. There are 3 exercises, 4 mins on the clock. Get as many rounds in as you can whilst your abs are burning!!

She took a TRX with her, it's one of the best bits of equipment actually when you compare what you can do with it against the space it saves and the difficulty levels it reaches.

She'll hopefully be training every other day so I've created three of these style workouts for her to keep her entertained.

I know she'll crush it.

Give it a go and let me know what you think,

~ Sam

I've always been someone to live in the moment Reader. Holidays, equipment, courses. If I want it, I'll buy it. (And then usually worry about the consequences afterward 😂). That is, until I started talking to my clients who are investors, hedge fund managers, and CFOs of start-ups. For them, money has always been at the forefront of their mind. How can I make the most of what I have? So a little while ago, I started to invest my money in stocks, shares, and index funds. You know, the S&P500,...

The first question I inevitably get when chatting with clients, or at randomers at a bar when I tell them what I do is... 'What do I eat then?' Whilst it means well, it opens up a can of worms and the so-called client/stranger clinging to every word that I'm about to say. As if I have the magic pill that will transform the way they eat then and there. But let's be honest, we all know how to eat and what to eat. At least I hope we do, and if not - I'll answer it here and now. To get lean,...

When I first interact with new clients I'm almost always listening to times when they used to be on it 100% and need to get back to that state. Life has got busy, but when they're on it, they're on it. And they desperately need to get back to that headspace to have any chance of getting fit again. The thing is, life is messy, and as much as we want and feel we need to be on it all of the time, it's that exact mindset that's keeping them in the position they're in now. Out of shape,...
