Back2Fitness - Neil Back

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year when it comes to indulging and enjoying the finer things in life but with that also comes a little lapse in fitness and general movement. In my book this isn’t wrong, just a fact of life, but kick starting following the Christmas lull can be a challenge especially when your gym membership was often used for the sauna in the first place!!

With work, family and children there are so many things that fill up time in everyone’s lives and naturally fitness is often goes by the wayside in order to fit them in. Yet one very well known England 2003 World Cup Winner, Neil Back, has found that it is possible to juggle them all, you just need a little helping hand to do so.

Neil has been retired for a number of years now and like so many in his position juggles a full on work life with a very busy family schedule and his continued rugby commitments. It’s a challenge and one that led to him putting his own fitness on the back burner to give others his full attention.

Neil’s daughter Olivia is an extremely successful hockey player, like her Dad she has tremendous sporting ability and is currently representing England U18, and she wanted a spot of help with her S&C requirements. Olivia knew of a local coach with an extensive S&C and hockey background, this is when Neil met Sam Yassin. Whilst Sam was taking the Back family through his long-term plan for Liv’s development they got talking about the concept and need for a programme such as Back2Fitness and they soon realised it was the perfect partnership!

The aim of the three tiered fitness packages is to provide you with all of the elements to really kick off that fitness regime you’ve thought about for a while. It’s designed to make sure that in 2017 you’re not concerned about that little bit of extra timber and winter padding and instead actually feel in better shape than ever before. Base levels of fitness don’t matter, it’s not where you start but the amount that you put in and the knowledge you learn as a result of Back2Fitness. Of course Neil’s start point is slightly different to some but with respect he's not a whipper snapper any more and yet after his 12 week program looks like he's back with the physique he had while playing, albeit 10kg lighter in lean mass. 

It is challenging to manage all of the different elements of people's lives yet often a helping hand and a nudge in the right direction is all that it takes. Everyone is different and the thing that I would say is that exercise really does help clear the brain and gives you a chance for a spot of ‘me time’. The thing with training is that it can be a bit of a maze and if you dive in without some guidance then you can be plugging away without realising too many results. So, if you have been umm’ing and ah’ing about maybe getting in shape, or know of someone that feels that way, then why not let an England 2003 World Cup winner who has followed the programme himself lend you a hand! 

Back2Fitness has Bronze, Silver and Gold Packages all delivering 12 weeks of a tailored fitness & nutritional programme and the guidance needed along the way. Christmas is fast approaching and orders by 22nd December will arrive in time for Christmas day. Head to https://back2fitness.co now for the details or follow @B2F_SYPC or @NeilBack on Twitter.
