Nice post from the guys at Accelerated Motion highlighting another great reason to keep up aerobic exercise throughout life.
Staying fit isn’t always easy but if you can make it enjoyable or focus on your why then you’re much more likely to get it done.
“Skeletal muscle of lifelong aerobic athletes resembles muscle of young subjects.” That sounds pretty good to me.

What skills are you working on currently?
To keep improving performance in your chosen sport or activity it's vital to keep moving forward.
This is a great little read and a reminder that we can all keep improving if we keep working at it.

Skills are built, not born. A simple phrase that can become the bedrock for great learning. Of course it takes time, effort, some experiments, and struggle to earn a skill. But, if it’s a skill and you do the work, you can build it. The best news: most of the good things in life are …

Today we trained Senior Squad. We worked on core strength, squatting, and pull ups and press ups as part of their strength and conditioning programme. A great session to end a year of strength and conditioning for sport.

A great day to be part of a great club Nuneaton Rugby Club 💪

🔴⚫️⚪️3 senior sides in action today.
🔴⚫️⚪️2 Wins and 1 Draw.
🔴⚫️⚪️Come On You Nuns!

From our illustrious Hon Sec, JC:

Nuns try scorers Brown with 2, Nems and Cooper.

Superb victory against a good team at a fine venue.

Nuns went into half time 17-5 down after a difficult first half where Bromsgrove exploited their pace.

With 10 minutes to go Nuns were 24-8 down and seemingly out of the game.

Cheered on by the Saxons who had already won their game Nuns finished the game in blistering style to score 3 tries in 8 mins.

Most people focus hard on their training but sometimes we can forget that we need to recover as well in order to fully benefit from that training. We like this graphic by showing where you should be focusing your main efforts to allow your body to recover. The 3 big rocks should always be Nutrition, Hydration and Sleep. Focus on getting these sorted and see how much better you feel as a result.
