Training never stops...


Ok, so just a quick update.

Gyms are closed, which sucks of course, but that doesn't mean we have to stop training!

I've posted my plan on the Facebook page.

Photos and videos to follow...

Hope this gives you some ideas!

Pullups from home!

Given the current situation, you need to get creative with workouts! Here, Karen from Lift-Wellbeing  and I are doing a pullup / chinup routine. I do weighted, so I'm using a dipping belt, holdall and sandbags to increase the weight. Pretty pleased that I'm still able to maintain / build strength while stuck at home! You could do the same using a chinup bar mounted in or on a door, but be very careful about the total weight the bar and/or door can take! This stand is rated to 120kg, so it can easily handle me (60kg) and 30kg of sandbags! Music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music

Inflation

Image
I've chosen an image by Escher for today's post because I hope it will provide you with a different way of looking at something, namely inflation. Inflation is most often defined as the rise in price of goods and services over time. However, its less often quoted meaning is the loss of value of the currency . It's this second meaning that is more representative of what inflation truly is. I strongly believe the first definition is misleading, perhaps deliberately so, as we shall see. We have become so accustomed to living in a society that uses money that we often take its units of measurement, be they Pounds, Dollars or Euros, as fixed, much like distances like metres and weights like kilograms. In reality, they are units of exchange and are thus subject to the laws of supply and demand. Think back to a time before money. Perhaps a wheat farmer wanted some meat for his meal. He might exchange a bushel of wheat in the local town for a pig. One year, pork is partic

UK House Price Update and Attempts to Model it...

Image
I haven't update my UK house price graph for a while, but this time, I thought I'd also include my attempt at modelling it. I've previously   mentioned that I found an interesting correlation between the population and house prices. In a very simplistic way, this makes sense. The UK is a fixed size, but its population is increasing, therefore prices go up. This is certainly the headline that's repeated endlessly on mainstream media. However, the subtlety that not everyone buys houses is lost in the noise. I doubt anyone under the age of 18 or over the age of 75 is buying houses for example. These days, it's also safe to assume that very few people under the age of 30 are either. (The average age of a first time buyer is now 30, compared with 23 in the 1960's.) The other major factor in house prices is how much people are able to pay. Note that this is different from how much they are willing to pay. Unlike almost everything else we buy (with perha
