Intrinsic Motivation
Motivation is the mental process that initiates, sustains or guides our behaviour. In essence it’s the mental kick up the ass we find that pushes us towards a new goal, task or activity. However, there are two different types of motivation - intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation refers to a behaviour which is driven by internal or personally meaningful rewards (opportunities to explore, learn etc.) Intrinsically motivated people participate in something for reasons such as the enjoyment of playing their sport, the challenge of competition and reaching new personal levels, skill improvement, exploration of potential etc. Intrinsically motivated people typically...

Stop Online Abuse
Instagram has the ability to flag anything, literally anything related to Covid within seconds. Whether it’s a detailed post mentioning the word Covid or a simple story with a joke about it in. Why oh why then are they so unprepared to do anything about people taking to social media to incite hatred and racial abuse? Our actions on social media should be as accountable as our actions in day to day life but until the social media platforms do something, it’s up to us to take matters into our own hands! From now on, if you see anything on...

The more prepared you can be the easier it is to get through your workout simply by following the program you’ve set days in advance. It’s also a great...

Give Cyclists Space
We recently put a story up highlighting that a motorist overtaking a cyclist at speed within 3 feet is the equivalent of standing between the yellow line and a passing train on a station platform. This, coupled with some rather choice overtakes made whilst we were recently up in Scotland cycling really hit home just how vulnerable we can be whilst out on the bike. It’s so important that motorists and cyclists remember, we share the same piece of real estate and whilst some motorists may think that cyclists aren’t close enough to the kerb, we may well be avoiding...

Stop Sleeping In
We all know how good it feels rolling over and hitting the snooze button, and part of you thinks ‘well, another 10 minute won’t hurt - I’ve got time’! BUT, it might be doing more harm than you think - these are just some of the effects of sleeping in late: 💤 Increase in blood pressure💤 An increase in the stress hormone ‘cortisol’💤 Forgetfulness💤 Binge eating / poor decision making💤 Dull skin / poor skin colour So, next time the alarm goes off - jump up and go, it might be a couple of minutes of grogginess but you’ll have...
