Coach Josh

Personal Trainer / Backpacking Coach

Hobart, Tasmania

I'm all about PERSONALISED coaching to reach your goals. Most people simply don’t know what to do when it comes to exercise and training. When you don’t know what to do, you increase your risk of injury in both training and in the real world. My job is to provide you with personalised coaching to reach your fitness, backpacking, and adventure goals!

EXERCISE OF THE WEEK: Kettlebell Swing - The kettl

EXERCISE OF THE WEEK: Kettlebell Swing-The kettlebell swing is great for bulletproofing your back and hips.-The kettlebell swing is a complex movement that takes a while to master (and should be taught by a good coach). That said, this exercise should be part of any athletic glute, back, and hamstring workout! Watch the video carefully, and then watch it again. Give the kettlebell swing a try (starting with a light weight) and then watch the video again!-Give it a try and let me know how you go.-Check out the complete exercise library on my YouTube page.

Self Defence - Part of taking ownership of your li

Self Defence-Part of taking ownership of your life is creating a sense of security in yourself. I have found that few things build self confidence like learning foundational fight skills. Boxing is my preferred combat sport. But, if you learn BJJ, Muay Thai, wrestling, or MMA you will still be more capable than most people.---#hobartfitness #hobartlife #tasmaniagram #trainingathome #homeworkouts #exercisevideos #workoutvideos #injuryprevention #workoutmotivation #trainingmotivation #fitspo #fitfam #gymlife #homegym #wildernessbackpacking #boxingtraining #backpackinglight #functionaltraining #selfdefencetraining #boxingcoach @amplifyfitnessau

The Next Adventure-My next backpacking trip is a little way off yet. I just became a dad and I'm immersing myself in that adventure for the time being.-I'm still preparing for the next adventurous opportunity. I am not complacent. I have my gear systems ready, and I'm training myself every day. -Strength is ALWAYS an asset. With a little guidance you can get and stay strong, capable, and injury-proof. We all know, strong people are harder to kill.-Now is the perfect time to get strong and prepare for your next adventure, whatever that looks like.-DM to chat about your goals and how to reach them.-📸 @christine_zelezny---#hobartandbeyond #tasmaniagram #discovertasmania #discoveraustralia #heytasmania #wildernessbackpacking #rucking #backpackinglight #hikingtrails #fitnesstraining #fitfamily #outdoorfitness #functionalfitness #goneoutdoors #hikinggear #travelphotography #travelgram #adventurous #strongfirst

EXERCISE OF THE WEEK: High/Low Squat Pulses - This

EXERCISE OF THE WEEK: High/Low Squat Pulses-This squat variation is great for leg conditioning and hypertrophy (muscle building) workouts. It is a great squat variation for increasing time under tension and for developing a massive quad pump. Try pacing this at the end of a leg day workout. -One rep for the High/Low Squat Pulses includes ten 1/4 reps in the bottom and top of the movement.-Give it a try and let me know how you go.-Check out the complete exercise library on my YouTube page.

EXERCISE OF THE WEEK: Bodyweight Squat - The squat

EXERCISE OF THE WEEK: Bodyweight Squat-The squat is the primary movement for leg strength and resilience.-The first step toward strong and muscular legs is mastering bodyweight squats. In this video I have a fairly wide stance, but you can stand at whatever width you would like as long as your heels remain on the ground.-Give it a try and let me know how you go.-Check out the complete exercise library on my YouTube page.

Fancy - Your adventure gear doesn't need to be fan

Fancy-Your adventure gear doesn't need to be fancy. First, it needs to be functional. Second, you need to be comfortable with it.-Just like in your training. Fancy gets your nowhere. Functional (and goal-oriented) gets you exactly where you want to go.-📸 @christine_zelezny---#hobartandbeyond #tasmaniagram #discovertasmania #discoveraustralia #heytasmania #wildernessbackpacking #rucking #backpackinglight #hikingtrails #fitnesstraining #fitfamily #outdoorfitness #functionalfitness #goneoutdoors #hikinggear #travelphotography #travelgram #adventurous#hobartfitness #functionaltraining

WORKOUT IDEAS-I often have to fit workouts in between the many things I do each day (like most people). Luckily, workouts don't have to be long to be effective. I keep most of my workouts just under an hour long.-When focusing on lower-body training, I try to pick exercises from these catagories for getting the most out of my time:- Knee dominant (squat, lunge, step up)- Hip dominant (KB Swing, deadlift, thrust)- Integrative (crawl, carry, movement focus, sled work)- Core (rollout, plank, walkout, weighted carry)-Sometimes, the exercises with cover more than one catagory.-For adventure athletes, these simple workouts are your daily dose of bulletproofing for the trail. --#hobartfitness #hobartlife #tasmaniagram #trainingathome #homeworkouts #exercisevideos #workoutvideos #injuryprevention #workoutmotivation #trainingmotivation #fitspo #fitfam #gymlife #homegym #wildernessbackpacking #rucking #backpackinglight #functionaltraining #exerciseismedicine @amplifyfitnessau
