Anyone else feel a win with a capital W when you’re up and out before the sun breaks? Definitely a plus to this time of year where I live.

Big welcome to our newest ShieldWall members 👊 @Anthony Hilton @Rob Pike @Sebastian Luciano @Ken Maxfield Good to have all four of you in here. You’ve all come in with slightly different things getting in the way, mindset, motivation, confidence, time, or simply not knowing where to start. First job: head to General Discussion and find the pinned “New Here” post. Drop a quick introduction in there so everyone can get to know you. Then go to the “Start Here” post directly underneath it and follow the instructions from there. That’ll point you towards the Classroom and get you moving in the right direction. Don’t worry about trying to smash everything at once. Get started, build some consistency, and use the group if you need help. Welcome to ShieldWall. 🛡️👊

How's everyone doing? I'm into a routine now...little and often every day. Some mornings I don't fancy it, but it takes 10 mins to do 5 rounds of 15 kettlebell swings with 10 pushups in between. If I haven't got the motivation to do that every day....it's time to get me slippers and pipe out and fade away 😁 A quick morning workout does more for your mental well-being than it does for your body!

What’s something you’d genuinely like to do, build, start or change, but you keep putting it off? Could be a business idea, a course, writing something, travelling somewhere, changing jobs, learning a skill… anything. And what’s actually stopping you? Lack of time? Money? Confidence? Or just that little voice telling you it might all go tits up? I’ll start. Once I’ve finished my memoir, which is partly rooted in my time in the Parachute Regiment and the French Foreign Legion, I want to write an epic fantasy novel. If you knew me, you’d know that is completely outside my wheelhouse, which is exactly why I want to do it. What’s yours? Drop it below. No judgement. 🛡️

Found this workout on Instagram...started with a 12kg kettlebell first...now on a 16kg. 2 or 3 times a week, 7 sets of 4 reps, couple of mins rest between sets. Won't be using anything heavier than the 16kg in the future...might add reps if it gets less challenging 😁
