Ruairi Davies, Strength and Conditioning expert on how lockdown taught him to ‘control the controllables’

Welcome to this latest episode with fitness trainer Ruairi Davies. From a dream job training elite rugby athletes in Chile to a lockdown-enforced return home. He thought he would return 2 weeks later (a familiar tale) but that didn’t happen and his career took a new focus. What he has learned and keen to share is:

·       You can have a grand plan but that can change in an instance; don’t panic because things do work out

·       Only control the controllables

·       Physical and mental health go hand in hand – you can’t have one without the other

·       Exercise gives you more than physical benefits – it creates social connections

·       Just 10 minutes of activity a day can be enough.

·       Why an 80 year old called him a miracle worker

 

Ruairi’s what 3 words to describe his road to success, balance and happiness

·       Health – no surprises there

·       Limitless – don’t set self-limiting beliefs and go for what suits you and your lifestyle
