<b><br /></b>
<b>Welcome back! We’ve had a short break since our last post on here, but fear not - we haven’t been sitting back, resting on our laurels. In fact, it’s been quite the opposite, as we’ve been busy helping the launch of our new sister company – <a href="https://www.nobodyschild.com/" target="_blank">Nobody’s Child</a> – and it’s high time we introduced you!</b><br />
<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
‘Fast fashion with a conscience’ is the ethos behind the London-based womenswear brand, which is sort of a contradictory statement, as until now, the notion of ‘fast fashion’ hasn't often been associated with ethical manufacturing. But then again, Nobody’s Child <i>has </i>been ten years in development! <br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
But how's it any different?</h4>
<br />
<br />
Well, Nobody’s Child is what’s known as a vertically integrated manufacturer, and owns the majority of its supply chain; they knit and dye fabrics in their own facilities, produce the garments in their own factories, and distribute through their own fulfilment distribution centre. By having full control of their supply chain, this allows them to monitor all activity and comply with their ethical obligations. It also means the clothes are made to a high quality, but kept at a low price point. Win, win...<i>win!</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<h4>
So, what's exactly on offer?</h4>
<br />
<br />
While we at Be An Athlete have your fitness fashion needs covered (especially with the new range about to hit...but more on that soon), we’ve never really catered for your non-fitness fashion needs, which is where Nobody’s Child comes in. From crop tops, to evening dresses, to seventies inspired jumpsuits, if it’s on trend, you can pretty much bet your bottom dollar Nodody’s Child will have it, and it will almost certainly be better quality and lower priced than their competitors.<br />
<br />
<br />

Check out the <a href="https://www.nobodyschild.com/" target="_blank">website</a> now, or pop over to the <a href="https://www.nobodyschild.com/magazine/" target="_blank">NC magazine</a> for all manner of fashion, style and beauty tips, and as always, let us know what you think in the comment box below. </b><br />

<b>It seems like you can’t walk from one end of London to another, without stumbling across some sort of event, be it the opening of cafe (naturally specialising in but a single food group, be it hotdogs, tacos or even cereal), a pop-up fashion store (where the clothes have no doubt been constructed out of recycled packaging kindly donated by the aforementioned cafe), or even a film premier, populated no less with celebs wearing said salvaged garments. But unless you’re one of the few mutant-like individuals, who can survive perfectly well on but a few hours of sleep every single night, or are a dab hand with the ol’ concealer, how the hell do you know which events to turn up to?</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Luckily, we’ve picked out our five absolute favourite upcoming London events, so if all else fails, at least you can relax in the comfort that these particular nights were absolute corkers. So clear your diary, zip up that hoodie (cos baby, it’s <i>cooooold</i> outside), and get ready to bask in the glory that is our capital city in the lead up to Christmas!<br />

Forget <i>American Werewolf in London</i>. For the last few years it’s been all about the American <i>burger</i> in London, with countless new restaurants and cafes literally devoting themselves to the dirty meat patty with Saint-like reverence. And whilst we’ve all enjoyed this taste of stateside, perhaps to the dismay of our waistlines, it’s now time to enjoy the whole hog...<br />
<br />
In accordance with the NFL International Games, the Jacksonville Jaguars will be facing off the Buffalo Bills at Wembley Stadium, and to celebrate, Regent Street is hosting its very own American football themed street party. Expect cheerleaders, excessively oversized inflatable characters, confetti, drums, and all manner of Americanised street food. Best save up a few of those cheat days...<br />

It’s a Saturday, it’s Halloween, and it just so happens to also be the Rugby World Cup Final. Usually, just one of those things would create an electric atmosphere in the capital, but combine the three and you just know it will be a night to remember (or <i>not</i>, as the case might be!). If you've haven't got tickets, just splash a bit of the ol’ fake blood across your chops, get yourself down to a traditional London pub, and breath it all in. <i>Oggy Oggy Oggy!</i><br />

Talking of electric atmospheres, Regent Street’s annual London light turn-on officially marks the beginning of the festive season. And it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a Hollywood A-lister pulling the switch, or a Big Brother Runner-up from the year dot. Once you’re wedged in the middle of that ten-thousand strong crowd, beer dribbling down your numb fingers from a plastic cup, it doesn’t really matter anyway - it’s almost Christmas, and you can start watching <i>Home Alone</i>, <i>Love Actually</i> and <i>Elf </i>completely 100% unashamedly.<br />

<br />
With the price of public transport increasing at a rate that puts London rent to shame, and the prospect of a tube strike hanging over the city like one permanent rain cloud (though that might in fact <i>actually </i>be one permanent rain cloud), is it any wonder that the old Boris Bikes and Brompton foldables are as popular as they are?<br />
<br />
If that’s you, and you place the humble two-wheeler above dogs as man’s best friend, then get ready to celebrate all things bicycle. The Design Museum in Bermondsey will be home to the Cycle Revolution; an exhibition devoted to cycling, with shows dedicated to cycling subcultures, such as 'thrill seekers' and 'urban riders,' items belonging to famous cyclists including Sir Chris Hoy and Sir Paul Smith, pure unadulterated #bikeporn with dozens of leading models on display, and a glimpse into the future of cycling.<br />

No list would be complete without a mince pie-chomping nod towards Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. If you want to get giddy on Christmas, and the prospect of winter markets, festive fairground rides, ice skating rinks, Santa grottos and a Magical Ice Kingdom sounds right up your Christmas Light-adorned street, then slip that Rudolf jumper on, and head on down from the 20th November onwards!<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>As Shakespeare famously quipped, clothes make the man. And by and large, it rings very true, as demonstrated by our <a href="http://blog.baaclothing.com/2015/09/wearing-black-makes-you-more-attractive.html" target="_blank">previous article</a> whereby recent research suggested that black can make people appear more attractive, while red can make them look arrogant. In line with this, today we’re sharing five style tips and tricks that can help you appear immediately taller, and, despite the current resurgence of seventies fashion, there isn't a pair of platform shoes in sight! </b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<h3>
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Wear one colour</h3>
<br />
Probably not what you want to hear if you moonlight as a professional clown, but monochromatic outfits streamline the body, which in turn gives the impression of height as it doesn’t break up the vertical line eyes naturally follow.<br />
<br />
Wearing multiple shades of the same colour has the same effect, which just so happens to be a huge trend this season, while the darker the colour is, the taller you’ll look!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Make sure your clothes fit!</h3>
<br />
Wearing clothes that actually fit is important regardless of whether you want to look tall or not, but a well fitted outfit has the added benefit of making you look taller, as again it streamlines the body.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Stripe it up</h3>
<br />
Vertical stripes give the illusion of height, as the lines follow one’s natural path of sight. As the saying goes, people look you ‘up and down’ - make it easy for them to do so!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Small accessories </h3>
<br />
If you <i>are </i>going to accessorise it up, keep details small and subtle. Whilst you might think a gigantic belt buckle detracts from your height, all it actually does is break that line of sight we keep banging on about.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Tuck it in</h3>
<br />
Although the current style does dictate you wear your tee somewhere down by your knees, unfortunately this won’t do anything for your physical stature, and will make your legs look incredibly disproportioned. Instead, try to ensure your top half finishes in line with your hip bone, otherwise, listen to your old headmaster and 'tuck that shirt in!'<br />
<br />

<b>‘Peak beard’ - the concept that facial hair has become so fashionable that it's <i>no longer </i>fashionable - is a term that’s been thrown around a fair bit lately, which seems unfair in the lead up to winter, when beards are not only a stylish accessory, but a practical one, too. But whether you decide to blindly pursue fashion at the expense of a cold chin, or not, there's still the rest of your face to consider, and thanks to the likes of David Gandy and David Beckham, men have had to up their skincare game like never before. Thankfully, the following new products will do most of the hardwork for you!</b><br />

<br />
The Dear Barber shampoo and conditioner set works by adding a protective layer around the hair follicle to help seal in moisture. Its special formula also reduces static, which is a godsend during winter, and leaves your hair with a glorious shine. Plus the understated bottles look a lot manlier in your bathroom, much in the same way as a Yorkie bar does in your lunch box. Kapow!<br />

The latest shaver from Braun is an absolute animal, and that’s putting it lightly. It’s made up of 400 individual pieces, delivering 10,000 sonic vibrations per minute, which in turn generates 40,000 cross-cutting actions. Sweeney Todd, <i>himself</i>, couldn’t keep up with those figures!<br />
<br />
The fully flexible Syncrosonic head navigates facial contours with ease, while Braun's micro-adaptation shaving foils manoeuvre nimbly to cut hair as close to the skin as possible. All in all, those 400 pieces are working in synergy with a single goal – to provide you with closest, most comfortable shave possible, and it’s fair to say they achieve it!<br />

While the Braun is certainly your go-to razor in terms of everyday use, a lot of men take pride in a more ritualistic and hands-on approach during the weekend. If this is you, it’s time to take things back a few years, and certainly a <i>few </i>blades.<br />
<br />
The Bluebeards Revenge ‘Scimitar’ Safety Razor not only sounds ridiculously cool, but cuts ridiculously close, too. It’s got a lovely weight behind it, and, contrary to the times, features just a single blade - let’s face it, if the first blade doesn’t cut the hair, what chance do the next four stand? And talk about value for money; a pack of ten blades, all of which feature two usable sides, <i>and </i>can be sharpened, will only set you back £2.99. Now just think back to the last time you bought a pack of conventional shaver heads....<br />

Kudos if you go straight for the moisturiser after a shave, but before you go giving yourself a solid metrosexual pat on the back, there’s another step you really ought to be doing in-between these two stages. The Bluebeards Revenge Beard Oil need simply be rubbed into your facial hair region, with the benefit of moisturising the skin, conditioning the stubble and adding a glorious sheen and smell to your beard.</div>

One of the main reasons your skin ages is due to constant contact with high-energy particles known as free radicals. <i>Thanks</i>, guys! Antioxidants are their nemesis, and render them harmless. This is the philosophy behind Menage’s groundbreaking moisturiser range, which uses a patented copper-based formula, known for its unmatched antioxidant count, in order to keep your skin looking young.</div>

It not only absorbs instantly, but also provides 5* UVA protection (the sun being another reason for premature wrinkles), making it the perfect choice for your morning beauty regime.<br />

You’d be excused for thinking this groundbreaking anti-ageing range came straight from the ‘School of Rock’ frontman. You’d be less excused for thinking it came from the White Stripes frontman (that’s Jack <i>White</i>!). In actually fact, this iteration of Jack preceded both of them, and for good reason!<br />
<br />
The first step of this triple play process involves the DIY Power Peel Multi-Acid Resurfacing Pads. This high-potency formula offers results similar to a professional strength peel with less irritation and down time. In one easy step, it instantly but gently exfoliates the skin, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, increases firmness and lightens dark spots.<br />
<br />
The second and third step, now that your skin is cleaner than you’ve probably <i>ever </i>known it, is to apply the Protein Booster Skin Serum and Eye Rescue. The high-performance formula contains advanced peptides and antioxidants, to reduce the appearance of fine lines, dark circles and wrinkles, while improving skin texture and clarity.<br />

When a fashion house lends it’s impeccable sense of style to the world of toiletries, you just <i>know </i>your bathroom's about to look a whole lot sexier, and the geometric print sets from Ted Baker do nothing to buck the trend. The three limited edition designs are each named after one of Ted’s beloved areas of London – Farringdon, Brockley and Moorgate – and feature gorgeous art deco inspired patterns. The only problem is that they’re almost <i>too </i>pretty to use.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Unlike the Monday blues, which is basically just a communal hate for returning to work after the weekend (combined with the second day dregs of a hangover), the winter blues is a scientifically proven syndrome. SAD, or seasonal affective disorder, is primarily caused by the reduction of sunlight, but it's also linked on a more instinctive level, with the fear of food availability and body heat retention during the colder months. </b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
If this sounds like you, then it’s time to put the sandals away, chop those festival bands off, and say goodbye to the park at lunch. You’re only lying to yourself! Instead, accept that the Starks are right - ‘winter <i>is</i> coming’ – and there’s nothing you or I can do about it. That being said, the following five tips will make the seasonal transition slightly easier on your body, though they won’t do anything to help against white walkers....<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Get out of bed</h3>
<br />
It might be the last thing you want to do, especially when the rain's lashing down and you still haven’t found the perfect winter coat, but staying in bed will make you feel worse in the long run.<br />
<br />
Not only can the disruption to your sleep cycle affect your melatonin levels, which can contribute to feeling depressed, but the sun's natural ultraviolet light is at its most beneficial during the first hours after dawn, so get outside!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Exercise</h3>
<br />
Is there anything thirty minutes of cardio can’t do? If there is, we certainly don’t know about it! But as far as SAD is concerned, aerobic exercise stimulates the release of endorphins, which in turn reduces stress. For a double dose of anti-winter blues, go for a run in the early hours of the morning, shortly after sunrise.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Eat fish</h3>
<br />
Studies have revealed that higher levels of omega 3 can help reduce the effects of SAD. This would make sense, considering how the Icelandics have an extremely fish rich diet. In addition, fish is also rich in vitamin D (the vitamin your body produces when exposed to sunlight). Take that SAD!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Eat complex carbs</h3>
<br />
SAD will have you craving carbs like never before. This is the body’s way of preparing for the months when once upon a time food would have been scarce. But instead of piling on the bread and pasta, opt for rice, potatoes, lentils and vegetables; complex carbohydrates keep you fuller for longer by releasing energy more slowly into the body.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Invest in an SAD Lamp</h3>
<br />
Yes, they exist. Originally intended for certain arctic regions, where residents see absolutely no sunlight for months at a time, these specially developed lamps emit light that emulates the sun's spectrum of wavelengths. Thirty minutes is considered the optimum session length, so pop it on while reading your morning emails, and bask in all its glory!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Feeling better already? If you've got any more tips for coping with SAD, other than shutting down and waiting for Christmas, then let us know in the comment bow below....</b><br />

Because seaweed has had to adapt to some of the most diverse and uninhabited climates in the world i.e. the bottom of the ocean, it’s developed unique properties that just so happen to be really good for us. As these areas are also unfarmed, they are still nutritionally rich, which is another reason behind seaweed's vitamin-dense structure; it’s high in fibre, calcium, protein, and minerals, and also contains a source of iodine.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the guys at Selwyn's have saved you a trip to Davey Jones' locker; the brand's new seaweed snack is available in three delicious flavours and is less than 15 calories a bag!<br />

Whilst chocolate might not be the healthiest choice of snack, sometimes <i>only </i>chocolate will do, and when that’s the case, <i>this </i>is the chocolate you need to be eating!<br />
<br />
It’s gluten, dairy, soy and preservative free, which would usually mean the packaging's tastier than the treat itself, but in this case things couldn’t be further from the truth. The chocolate is made from handpicked Bolivian cacao pods, meaning not only is it absolutely delicious, but also <i>choc </i>full of antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. And with flavours including ‘fig and wild orange’ and ‘coconut and goji berry,’ your taste buds, as well as your body, are in for a treat!<br />

We’ve come to accept that protein bars don’t <i>quite</i> taste like normal chocolate bars. There's a powdery after-taste, and that's just how it is. It’s a fact of life, as widely accepted as gravity, but not any more...! We’ve sampled our fair share of protein bars at BAA HQ, and it’s fair to say that none have more closely resembled your average non-protein confection than this.<br />
<br />
Just how Grenade have achieved this is beyond us, considering each bar contains a whopping 23g of protein and yet just 1.4g of sugar. The ‘Cookies & Cream’ flavour simply defies all logic.<br />

Bilton is a South African delicacy whereby prime lean beef has been marinated, air dried and sliced. Due to its popularity, Cruga has now brought it over here, in the form of delicious 25g pouches, each of which contain approximately 1g fat, 13g of protein and a mere 64 calories. In comparison, your average bag of salt & vinegar crisps contain almost three times the calories, four times the fat and almost no protein. It almost makes you want to re-evaluate your entire life...<br />

‘In the same way as you wouldn’t run a Ferrari on dirty cheap petrol, you don’t want to use low quality synthetic sports nutrition products to fuel your body.’ This is the mantra behind the Primal ‘Raw Fuel’ Bar, which is why they’ve only used high quality natural ingredients, all of which have been cold pressed to retain their nutrient density. In addition, the brand have omitted absolutely any additives, preservatives, colours or artificial flavourings.</div>
<br />
The bars are an excellent, clean source of energy, which helps fuel exercise and aids with muscle recovery, and they also happen to taste absolutely delicious, too. In fact, you’ll probably find yourself living at the gym, purely so you have an excuse to tear open yet <i>another </i>bar!<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Capital Xtra DJ, Manny Norté, and TV presenter, Reggie Yates, are pitting themselves against each other in what they’ve dubbed the ‘6 Week Challenge.’ The winner will be the one who achieves the most notable physical development in that time, and there are absolutely no rules as to how they go about this, assuming they don’t resort to jeopardising one another! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Three weeks in, we catch up with Manny, aka ‘the name you can trust,’ and find out what it's all about, how you can involved, and whether the gym will prove to be Norté’s <i>forté</i>. </b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<b>So how did the competition come about, and what’s it all in aid of?</b><br />
<br />
Well, it started off with me on a treadmill running in the gym. I posted a quick snap of it Instagram, as you do, and then everyone started hitting me up saying that it had inspired them to do the same.<br />
<br />
My friend Reggie then sent me a text saying ‘I’m coming for you, Manny,’ and so I replied,’ yeah come!’ to which he suggested setting ourselves a challenge: six weeks to get in as best shape as possible - so we both shared the idea on our social channels and before we knew it everyone was getting involved. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>So does the element of rivalry make it easier to go about something like this i.e. getting fit?</b><br />
<br />
Yeah yeah, definitely. Just the thought that Reggie might be doing better than me is motivation enough. I literally can’t stop!<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>That’s what we like to hear. That being the case, what does the typical Manny Norté meal now look like?</b><br />
<br />
Prawns and grapefruit for breakfast (not together we later discover, but rather one after the other). Avocado salad and crayfish for lunch. Fish or chicken with broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower and cucumber for dinner. And water to drink. (At this point, Manny reaches into his bag for a two litre bottle of Evian, and it turns out he’s barely had a sip all day!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>So other than <i>trying </i>to drink more water, what other lifestyle changes have you made?</b><br />
<br />
Well, I'm hitting the gym four to five times a week, mixing up the weights with a lot of core work, and loving the calisthenics.<br />
<br />
I’m trying not to go out <i>too </i>late. No alcohol. No sugar. Just eating cleaner, really. Though I did have a cheat meal last Sunday. In fact, make that a cheat <i>day</i>. I had a Belgium chocolate crepe, and it tasted sooooooo good.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Crepes aside, how are you looking after week 3?</b><br />
<br />
Looking good. Trimmed down a bit but still got my problem area, which is my gut.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>And how’s Reggie looking? </b><br />
<br />
He's looking good, too. He said he’s already lost a stone!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>So are you keeping tabs on each other in order to help pace yourselves?</b><br />
<br />
Yeah. Definitely. We actually sat down yesterday for a catch up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>But what happens after week six?</b><br />
<br />
After week six, we’ll stop. Well, we’ll still train, but we’ll have two or three weeks break and then we start Phase 2 which will be bigger and better!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sounds good, but who decides which one of you has won Phase One?</b><br />
<br />
I mean, hey, maybe the public. We’ll be sharing our before and after photos and we’ll let our followers decide, and if I’m under any sort of pressure, I’ll just shave my chest and put oil on my body. That makes you look better, <i>right?</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Right! But other than volunteering to apply the oil, how can people get involved?</b><br />
<br />
Just jump in using #6weekchallenge, and try not to cheat cos you’re only cheating yourself (so says the chocolate crepe fan, himself...!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>You can follow Manny and Reggie’s transformation journey at their respective twitter accounts, <a href="https://twitter.com/MannyNorte" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@MannyNorte</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/REGYATES" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@RegYates</a>, or better yet, get involved yourself using #6weekchallenge and give the boys a run for their money!</b><br />

<b>We get it. Water’s boring, and as much as we try jazzing it up (see our <a href="http://blog.baaclothing.com/2015/08/healthy-nutritious-fruit-infused-water-recipes.html" target="_blank">fruit infused water recipes</a>), sometimes Adam’s Ale just <i>doesn’t</i> quite cut it.

<br />
No time for breakfast? We’ve heard it all before and frankly there’s no excuse, but if you <i>really</i> can’t set your alarm five minutes earlier, then let us introduce Up&Go - a new drink which is basically breakfast in liquid form, with as much fibre, protein and calcium as your average bowl of cereal!<br />
<br />
Made from wholegrain oats, and available in six different flavours, Up&Go is the perfect breakfast for those rushing out of the door. In fact, it is <i>the</i> number one breakfast of choice in Australia (the brand’s home country). They must be busy people, indeed!<br />

<br />
Admit it. Your caramel macchiato has become a bit of a habit, even though you <i>initially</i> promised yourself that it was just a one off. And though there’s nothing wrong with forking out between three and four pounds every morning for a coffee, your average flavoured latte contains approximately 150 calories!<br />
<br />
Beanies flavoured coffee, on the other hand, is available in nine different flavours, including ‘Amaretto Almond’ (our favourite!) and ‘Cinnamon Hazelnut,’ and contains a mere two calories per cup! Just to put that into perspective, for every 1 coffee shop latte you drink, you could have 75 cups of Beanies, though we wouldn’t recommend it! And just how it works is actually rather ingenious. By stimulating your olfactory senses (i.e. your nose!) it tricks your brain into thinking the drink is a lot sweeter than it actually is. You could even say it’s in-<i>bean</i>-nious, but you probably shouldn’t...<br />

<br />
Picture the Carpathian Mountains in Western Ukraine. Things already sound pure, <i>right?</i> Well, the process begins when the snow melts in the spring and the roots of the birch trees absorb the new water. This water is then drawn up into the trunk and branches, all the while enriched with nutrients that have been stored in the tree over winter, and then naturally filtered by the tree as sap. You couldn’t make it sound more natural if you tried!<br />
<br />
The pure, freshly sweet tasting water carries naturally occurring antioxidants, electrolytes, amino acids, enzymes and unique micronutrients, while the range is 100% natural, undiluted and unsweetened. And at just 10 calories per bottle, it might be high time you...branched out.<br />

<br />
Skipping the gym after work is almost as sacrilegious as skipping breakfast. <i>Almost</i>. Luckily we’ve already sorted the latter, so now it’s time to do the same for the former - Introducing BEET IT Nitrate 3000, and yes, it definitely deserves its highly scientific sounding name.<br />
<br />
BEET IT contains seven 35ml portions of concentrated beetroot juice (100% natural), allowing sports people to top up their nitrate levels as required, and can be added to water, porridge and even cooked with to make it more palatable. The nitrate interacts with enzymes in saliva to generate nitric oxide in the blood system, which is a vasodilator that increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the muscles, thereby boosting strength and endurance. Now, if only there was a relevant catchy pop song to accompany the commercial...<br />

<b>So there you have it. Four amazing drinks, each with their own distinct health benefits, to break up the monotony of drinking water all day long. Let us know below which one most appeals to you, or if you’ve discovered any other nutritional drinks this month!</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Black’s <i>always </i>been cool. You know it - I know it. And it doesn't matter if it's Darth Vader, Neo, James Bond or Batman, there’s just something about that non-colour which simply oozes style and sophistication. But though we've always known this to be true in our hearts, one company has now backed this instinct up with cold hard statistical fact, which is perhaps what Superman was waiting for all along! (<i>blue</i>, pfft, what the hell was he thinking!?)</b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
Confidence</h3>
<br />
The company in question, an online t-shirt brand, recently surveyed thousands of customers, and guess what, black came out on top for nearly every single character trait. Let’s take first dates and interviews, for example. Which colour do you reckon evokes most confidence? That would be black. And the least? Well, let’s just say that Clown Fish need to try harder than most, and it's not because of their snazzy white stripes!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Attractiveness</h3>
<br />
As for attractiveness (which, admit it, is <i>really </i>why you’re reading this article), individuals generally favour those wearing colours that they themselves feel most confident wearing. No prizes for guessing where this is going. Not only do people think black makes <i>other </i>people look more confident, but both sexes also feel most confident wearing black <i>themselves</i>, too, meaning it's definitely your best bet when you're on the prowl!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Arrogance</h3>
<br />
Now onto arrogance. There’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance as far as personality's concerned, but luckily things are a little more clean cut when it comes to your wardrobe. While black suggests confidence in an individual, most participants chose red as the colour that most projected arrogance, and white as the most humble of colours to wear. Good ol' Jesus.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Intelligence</h3>
<br />
Is intelligence sexy? Well it must be, as once again good old black came out on top. And despite Rees Witherspoon’s best attempts in the <i>Legally Blond</i> films, pink scored lowest in this category.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>You can read the full article <a href="http://www.buytshirtsonline.co.uk/colour-perception/" target="_blank">here</a>, but to conclude, you basically <i>cannot </i>go wrong with black. It's sexy and intelligent, and <i>unlike </i>it’s arrogant counterpart, red, it stays on the right side of confident. Luckily for you, black features rather dominantly across the <a href="http://www.baaclothing.com/" target="_blank">BAA Clothing</a> collection, and as we're currently offering 40% off the entire range in our <a href="http://blog.baaclothing.com/2015/08/the-baa-end-of-season-sale.html" target="_blank">end of season sale</a>, what exactly are you waiting for? </b><br />

<b>You know how it is; you’ve thoroughly washed your hair, rinsed all the lather out, prepare yourself for a Herbal Essence advert-esque moment of shower-based ecstasy, and reach for the conditioner bottle, when – shock, shock, horror, horror – you realise it's completely empty! Who the hell would put the empty bottle back anyway? Even if it <i>was </i>more than likely <i>you</i>, now’s no time to point fingers. If you don’t get some conditioner on that hair pronto, things are going to get...ugly. </b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
If this typically happens to you, or is in fact happening to you RIGHT-THIS-MOMENT, fear not, for help is at hand! Today, we shed light on three home-made beauty regimes, the ingredients of which are almost guaranteed to be in your kitchen at this very minute, which could help save you from certain death. Well, perhaps not quite certain death, but you get the point.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Banana Conditioner</h3>
<br />
From preventing constipation, to providing an excellent canvas for biro-based doodles, is there anything those yellow clad beauties can’t do? They’ve even been known to double up as a rather effective doorstop, but returning to the subject in hand, with their high potassium and natural oil content, they also make for a perfect hair conditioner, too!<br />
<br />
Simply mash a banana up, massage it into your locks, and let the magic happen for approximately twenty minutes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Brown Sugar and Honey Scrub</h3>
<br />
Forget Dead Sea minerals. This really <i>is </i>nature’s best kept secret, hence the reason you haven’t heard about it until now. Mix together half a cup of honey (manuka, if you've got it), with half a cup of brown sugar, and throw in a tablespoon of olive oil for good measure. Now start working it into your face. Not only will it help to exfoliate your skin and unclog your pores, but the nutrient-dense honey will also provide some vital antioxidants. You’ve never had it easier, or <i>tastier</i><i>!</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Beer, Egg and Lime Face Mask</h3>
<br />
As painful as it might seem, wasting a beer on your face and not on your liver, your average amber brew contains a powerful combination of B vitamins and yeast. This helps to dissolve dead cells and increase skin elasticity and luminosity, while the wedge of lime will not only have you craving a Corona faster than you can say 'ariba ariba,' but will also help to clear pores and fade brown spots. As for the egg, it makes for a lovely creamy consistency.<br />
<br />
Simply mix together one egg white, half a cup of beer (what you do with the other half is your prerogative), and two tablespoons of lime juice. Slather it on, and rinse off after ten minutes. You’ll never want to <i>drink </i>another beer again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>And there you have it; three amazing homemade beauty regimes. If you know any others, we’d love to hear them! Though before we try anything, we <i>will </i>conduct a little research ourselves – it’s not that easy to get, ahem, egg on our face.</b><br />

<b>Despite the fact that it feels as if summer ended aeons ago (if you can even <i>call </i>it summer!), officially the 31st August marks the end of the warmer season. As such, we’ve launched our ‘End of Season’ sale, and as always, it’s safe to say we’re not messing around!</b><br />

<b>You may have noticed from our previous article, which looked at Foot Locker’s <a href="http://blog.baaclothing.com/2015/08/footlocker-dont-go-unnoticed-trainer-trend.html" target="_blank">#DontGoUnnoticed campaign</a>, that the Autumn colours of choice, as far as fitness fashion is concerned, are unequivocally black and red. Call us forward thinkers, but it looks like Be An Athlete were once again light-years ahead (just look at that logo at the top of your screen)! As such, today’s style round-up is made primarily of these shades, and we have to admit, when things look as strong as this, we hope its next season’s trend, too!</b><br />

Weighing in at just over 10 ounces, the PM-3s are the world's lightest closed-back planar magnetic headphones – FACT - making them the ideal choice for those wanting to listen to high quality audio on the go.<br />
<br />
Thanks to some exquisite workmanship, they provide deep bass, a smooth midrange and crystal clear treble – all in all, a music lover’s dream – but the ergonomic design means they are also a pleasure to wear, and look nothing short of magnificent in both the black and white colourway designs. Your ears aren't <i>even </i>ready!<br />

"The shoe with a cult following" is how Y-3 describes its 'Qasa' sneakers, and it’s not difficult to see why. Crafted from spongy neoprene, this slick black pair is kitted out with elastic straps, leather trims and snug sock liners, all of which ensure that not only do they look amazing, but feel amazing, too. As they say, look good, <i>feel good</i>, but these shoes take it literally.<br />

The new Yohji Yamamoto eyewear range has been built on the foundation of the designer’s original three word mantra: ‘Dramatic, avant-garde and/or intelligent.’ And while most pairs of spectacles probably couldn’t be described as ‘intelligent,’ unless of course they’ve come straight out of Google, it’s safe to say that this capsule collection is definitely dramatic, in an avante-<i>gardy</i> sort of way (of course!).<br />
<br />
Finished in a bespoke acetate, with monochromatic lenses, Yohji’s once again proved why black will <i>always </i>be the new black.<br />

When a pair of socks come with a two year guarantee, you know they’re good. But when said pair of socks have also been specifically designed to withstand the Ironman Course (one of the toughest triathlons in the world), you <i>definitely </i>know they’re good. So it’s no surprise that these Wigwam stunners are blister free, odour free, and keep your feet dry with Wigwam’s patented ULTIMAX® moisture wicking technology.<br />

Converse sneakers are well known for their no nonsense appeal, with the design having hardly changed since its 1917 inception. So it’s no wonder that this same understated, classic aesthetic has now followed through to the brand's accessory range, too. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Converse Black Rucksack has all the ingredients, including a large central compartment with a two-way zip, an integrated laptop pouch, a fully padded back and bottom panel, a zipped front pocket, and adjustable padded shoulder straps, not to mention a hand strap at the top. Chuck would have been proud!</div>

<br />
Combining the convenience of a plastic water bottle with the capability of your traditional flask, the Chilly’s Drink Bottle uses advanced double-wall vacuum technology to keep cold drinks <i>cold </i>for 24 hours, and hot drinks <i>hot </i>for 18 hours. Not only this, but it’s also leak proof, preserves flavour and freshness, doesn’t form a layer of condensation around it (meaning it won’t destroy absolutely everything else in your bag), and looks infinitely cooler than either an old, label-faded, slightly iffy smelling, battered coke bottle, or your train spotter-beloved Thermos flask!<br />

The Moto 360 Smart Watch has been classically designed, meaning it doesn’t look like something straight out of a Star Trek convention, and yet manages to deliver on the technical front, too, having been integrated with the Android Wear ™ operating system. So not only does it look great with a suit, but you can also check the weather, monitor your heart rate, receive accurate directions to your next meeting, and even send a text. And the fact that it’s voice activated means you can do all that without even touching it, so that gorilla glass can remain thumbprint free – are there two finer words in the English language?<br />

<b>The holidays are drawing to an end. So if you’ve been living in blissful, stress-free, late morning ignorance for the last couple of weeks, then apologies for dropping that clanger on you. But it’s time to face reality. So, whether it’s school, college or even the office that you’re making an untimely return to, it’s always nice to make an entrance, and that’s exactly what Foot Locker’s new #DontGoUnnoticed campaign is all about.</b><br />
<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
It’s one thing walking back into the office with a fresh pair of kicks on, but entirely another walking in, nay, <i>sauntering </i>in with the very latest style the world of footwear fashion has to offer. And you've got the Foot Locker buying team to thank for that. They've spent the last couple of months studying all manner of charts and patterns, not to mention the movements of the sun, moon and planets, in order to predict what will be the absolute hottest sneaker trend of Autumn 2015, and it's safe to say they were bang on!<br />
<br />
<br />
So ‘what’s black and white, and red all over?’ Until now, the answer to this riddle (assuming you were savvy enough!) would have been ‘newspaper,’ but going forward, ‘the AW15 Trainer Trend’ would be a more accurate, and indubitably cooler answer. And it's these three colours (or two colours and a shade, if you’re one of those ‘black isn’t a real colour’ advocates) that the #DontGoUnnoticed campaign comprises of, with updated styles from the likes of Nike, adidas, Jordan, Vans, PUMA and Converse.<br />
<br />
<br />

The triple black, or #blackonblack trend has continued to gather momentum this past year, and is the perfect way to make an understated statement as we enter the autumnal months. The market leaders have dropped the multiple colourways that dominated summer, and have focused on producing stealth silhouettes, with greater attention to design, texture and fabric.<br />
<br />
Foot Locker's collection showcases exclusive designs from the adidas Xeno range - which we covered earlier this <a href="http://blog.baaclothing.com/2015/02/adidas-colour-changing-xeno-trainers.html" target="_blank">year</a> – including the ludicrously sleek <a href="https://www.footlocker.co.uk/en/p/adidas-zx-flux-xeno-men-shoes-3619?v=314209467704#!searchCategory=all" target="_blank">ZX Flux</a>; seemingly an entirely black trainer, the material bursts into a dazzling display of oil slick-like, iridescent colour when viewed through a lens. But if light-reflective technology <i>isn’t</i> a bit of you, there’s surely something else to please the eye, with revised styles in the form of the Nike Flystepper 2K3’s, the Converse Camo Jacquards and the Puma R698’s. <br />

Foot Locker are also championing the 'all red' trend, and not solely (scuse the pun!) for the fact that black and red looks absolutely great together in campaign imagery.<br />
<br />
The craze has gone from strength to strength since last year’s Yeezy Red Octobers (surprisingly <i>not </i>designed in collaboration with Sean Connery), and if the popularity of the the black tracksuit/red sneaker combo on instagram is anything to go by, then the trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon.<br />

<b>We’ve all seen that meme on Facebook, suggesting <i>just </i>how contradictory it is that people <i>drive </i>to the gym in order to <i>run </i>on the treadmill. It really is the epitome of irony (note the sarcasm). So just imagine how incensed those same people would be at the idea that some running enthusiasts love running so much that they in fact travel on a plane, and travel half way across the globe, just to go on a jog.</b><br />

The following five running routes are some of the best the world has to offer. Admittedly, you do have to catch a flight in order to get to them, but when it means skipping around ancient Inca ruins and not dog poo in the park, it’s got to be worth it, <i>right?</i><br />

This one’s definitely for the adrenaline seeking runners out there, as the trail is notoriously dangerous. However, assuming you do survive the rushing streams and nail-bitingly narrow ledges, you’re in for one hell of a treat; the eleven mile path provides the only land access to the breathtakingly beautiful Na Pali coast.<br />

Though no one will ever believe you that you’re travelling to Amsterdam <i>just </i>for a ‘pleasant run,’ the jokes on them. The city is architecturally stunning, and the running routes along the Amstel River in particular will take you past some of the city’s most famous landmarks.<br />

Five kilometres of white sand beach and crystal clear waters, and that’s just your view on the left (or right, depending on which direction you’re running in). On the other side awaits gorgeous panoramic views of the Mediterranean city, if you can see over the row of palm trees, that is!<br />

There’s a reason so many organised runs, including the San Francisco Marathon, the Golden Gate Half, and the Golden Gate Bridge Vista 10K, take in the amazing views provided by the Golden Gate Bridge. But the view is unquestionable better when you haven’t got a thousand heads bobbing in front of you, especially at sunrise or sunset.<br />

<b><br /></b><b><br /></b>
<b>‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.’ How many times have you heard that old chestnut? Countless, we imagine, and yet people continue to return to their trusty old bowl of cereal. Whether that’s because of habit, convenience, or perhaps even tradition, the truth is most cereals contain very little nutritional value, in fact, as the age-old joke goes, you’d probably be better off eating the cardboard box! As such, today we thought we’d share a ridiculously easy, yet highly nutritious breakfast recipe, to ensure you’re getting the absolute best start to your day!</b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
If you haven’t already gathered the courage to consult that little nutritional information table on the side of your cereal box, you might be surprised to learn that many of the well known brands contain as much, if not more sugar than your average desert. This early morning overdose of sugar will cause your blood sugar levels to spike, but once they dip again, you’ll be prematurely craving something to eat before lunch.<br />
<br />
Instead, the following breakfast recipe is not only dead simply to prepare, but will provide a high dosage of protein, keeping you fuller for longer, as well as a healthy dose of vitamin A, D, C and B6. It’s also incredibly instagrammable, and as we know, unless everyone <i>else </i>knows about your highly nutritious breakfast, then it didn’t really count anyway...<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Ingredients</h3>
<br />
1 avocado<br />
2 eggs<br />
Salt and pepper for seasoning<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Directions</h3>
<br />
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Preheat oven to 220 degrees c<br />
<br />
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Cut avocado in half and remove stone<br />
<br />
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Depending on the size of the stone, you might need to scoop out a larger hole in order to fully accommodate the egg<br />
<br />
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Crack each egg into an avocado half, attempting to get the yolk in first if possible<br />
<br />
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Put the avocados into some sort of ramekin and place in the oven<br />
<br />
6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Cook for approximate 15-20 minutes, until the egg is to your liking<br />
<br />
7.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Season with a little salt and pepper, or perhaps some chilli sauce, and enjoy!<br />
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Earlier this week, we interviewed our latest brand ambassador, <a href="http://blog.baaclothing.com/2015/08/boxer-rocky-fielding-interview.html" target="_blank">Rocky Fielding</a> – a 27 year old boxer from Liverpool, who recently became the WBC International Super Middle Weight Champion. And whilst his nickname would suggest a career in boxing was written in the stars, most people assume it’s Sylvester Stallone’s character, Rocky Balboa, that he’s named after. In fact, Stallone based his creation on the legend that is Rocky Marciano...</b><br />
<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
To this extent, we’ve chosen Marciano as the star of our monthly feature - ‘Know your Athlete’ - so without further ado, here are ten amazing facts about the original <i>Italian Stallion!</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1.</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Marciano is the only boxer in history to hold the heavyweight title without a tie or defeat to his name.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2.</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>He retired from boxing at the age of 32, with a record of 49 wins, 0 draws, 0 defeats - a record which stands to this day! And of those 49 wins, 43 of them were knockouts.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>3.</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Renowned for his ferocious punching power, Marciano’s 87.75% knockout percentage is the highest in heavyweight history.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>4.</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>At eighteen months old, Marciano contracted pneumonia and very nearly died.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b>Before boxing, Marciano worked as a chute man, a ditch digger, a railroad layer, and a shoemaker.<br />

<b>6.</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Marciano died in a plane accident on the 31st August 1969 - the eve of his 46th birthday. He was the passenger of a small private plane, which was being flown by an inexperience pilot. It was late, bad weather had set in, and in the pilot’s attempts to land, the plane hit a tree two miles short of the runway.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>7.</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>He’s known for having one of the best chins in boxing history, and was only knocked down twice in his entire career, both occasions of which were arguably a result of his poor poor balancing rather than being dazed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>8.</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>In boxing terms, Marciano is considered a ‘swarmer,’ due to the constant pressure he applied to his opponents during a match. Because of his late introduction to the sport, he lacked the skills and finesse of other heavyweight champions, but made up for it with his sheer force and power.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>9.</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Rocky Marciano was the inspiration for the name, iconography, and fighting style of Sylvester Stallone's famous fictional boxer, Rocky Balboa.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>10.</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Following a series of tests, Marciano’s ‘knockout blow’ was described in the December 1963 issue of <i>Boxing Illustrated</i>, as having ‘more explosive energy than an armour-piercing bullet.’<br />

<b>A couple of months ago, we featured Nike’s upcoming <a href="http://blog.baaclothing.com/2015/01/nike-back-future-self-lacing-trainers.html" target="_blank">‘self lacing’ trainers</a>, which have been designed to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the <i>Back to the Future</i> films. But as exciting as they are, their release sparked a resounding question; ‘it’s 2015 – where the hell is my hover board?’ Well, the wait might finally be over....</b><br />
<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Over the last thirty years, during which time Marty McFly has continued to secure a prime position in our pop-culture loving hearts, a number of companies have stepped forward with supposed blueprints for a bona fide hoverboard. Sadly, these concepts were brought back down to reality faster than you could say <i>DeLorean DMC-12</i>, but where they failed, one brand may now have succeeded. And you might be surprised to learn that that company in question...is Lexus. Yes. Lexus. As in that car brand.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3YD1YbJtSerG_H51YHIfssJBAE3YJtf_9ABH8qYoWNTabg3y_Lq0FN2GG9Er-LuQDUhcv1FW624213aTwOz8qXyDqdiRif1B4uxx2DRI1GdR8f1y5jKWqVWFxT7nCyA3THemuemytT_0/s1600/lexus-hoverboard-article.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3YD1YbJtSerG_H51YHIfssJBAE3YJtf_9ABH8qYoWNTabg3y_Lq0FN2GG9Er-LuQDUhcv1FW624213aTwOz8qXyDqdiRif1B4uxx2DRI1GdR8f1y5jKWqVWFxT7nCyA3THemuemytT_0/s1600/lexus-hoverboard-article.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
As you can see in the video below, this latest hoverboard shaped offering looks like the real McCoy...or should that be, Mc<i>Fly</i>. It hovers, it grinds. It even floats on water. And as for that amazing looking steam, billowing from its sides? Well, that’s in fact liquid nitrogen, used to keep the superconductors from overheating, <i>of course!</i> But how does it work? Well, remember at school, when you tried forcing the same two ends of a magnet together, and they repelled. It works a little like that (a touch more complicated, mind).<br />
<br />
<br />
Lexus spent 400 days building what they have termed a ‘hoverpark.’ For all intents and purposes, it’s basically your average skate park, apart from one minor difference; the entire course is lined with metal, which is how the hoverboard, <i>well</i>, hovers. Of course, cynics out there will now be screaming at their screens, claiming that it’s not <i>really </i>a hoverboard. But for the time being, it’s the best we’ve got. And even though we don’t actually know when it’s out, or if it’s actually ever going to be out, and if so, what sort of gargantuan dent it’s going to leave on our bank balance, still, it’s all pretty exciting, wouldn’t you agree?<br />

<b>We recently announced a new addition to the Be An Athlete ambassador line-up; Liverpudlian boxer, Rocky Fielding. Back in June, the 27 year old became the WBC International Super Middle Weight Champion, and made it look like a walk in the park. As a sportsman, he’s determined, ambitious and humble, with a work ethic that’s second to none, so naturally he’s the perfect advocate for our brand. And with his sites already firmly onto the next challenge, it’s only a matter of time before Rocky becomes a household name.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today on the blog, we catch up with Rocky and find out what got him into boxing, who he’d most like to spar against in the ring, and just how he ended up with that nickname!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So, you were nicknamed ‘Rocky’ from a young age. Was it somehow written in the stars that you’d become a boxer?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I guess so! But I wanted to be a footballer first. I have to blame my Dad’s mate for that nickname but at least he picked a good one for boxing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>How exactly <i>did </i>you get into boxing then, and how old were you?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Age 9. My Dad started boxing so I went along with him and enjoyed it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>So, what does it mean to <i>you </i>to ‘be an athlete?’ What parallels can you draw between yourself and BAA clothing?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being an athlete is a privilege – so many people would love to play sport as their job, so I know how lucky I am. Having said that, it doesn’t feel that lucky after some sessions!! For me, being a boxer involves dedication, a lot of hard work, passion for the sport and the belief that I can achieve what I want to achieve if I put that work in. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Great answer. And to that effect, how did it feel to become the new WBC International Super Middle weight champion?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Amazing! To be standing in the ring with the belt after a fight like that was fantastic. I think you could see by my reaction what it meant to me, although at least this time I didn’t fall through the ropes! I was absolutely buzzing after the fight as my opponent was a step-up, so it was important for me to rise to that and do it in style. The reaction of the crowd was amazing and their support really makes a difference.</div>

<b>Congratulations. You didn’t look like you broke a sweat. Was it as easy as you made it look against a credible opponent like Brian Vera?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No! It definitely wasn’t easy! The adrenalin was pumping before the fight but I knew I had trained hard in the gym and in sparring, and Oliver and I had watched him fight so I had a clear plan. Thankfully I managed to take that plan into the ring and got the win in the 2nd round. He’s a tough guy and has been in with some top opponents so I had to be on form to beat him.</div>

Lee Trundle – he’s a good mate of mine and always tells me he could beat me so I could finally give him a knock around! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<b>On a separate note, we see you’ve recently returned from a well-deserved break in Ibiza – have you got a ‘work hard, play hard’ mentality?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To a point! Ibiza isn’t really my normal holiday destination as I’m not really a big clubbing fan – I prefer time by the pool. It was my brother’s stag do so it was great to spend time with family and close friends, and have a chance to unwind – I still did a couple of runs while I was out there though!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Good to hear. But 21 wins, without any draws or losses to your name – they're pretty amazing stats! Is there a fear that you’re going to break your winning streak every time you enter the ring? Does it add to the pressure?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No - it's important I give myself the best preparation, with the support of my team and family, and we all believe I will win. I then take that belief into the ring when I get through the ropes. That said, I’m realistic to know that there may come a time when I lose my “0” as there aren’t many boxers like Mayweather who’ve fought over a long period and haven’t lost. If that does happen, I know I have good people around me who will support me and we will all go again! Having said that, losing that “0” <i>isn’t </i>in the plan!!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Many thanks for your time today, Rocky. Lastly, what’s next for Rocky Fielding?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Carry on the path to being a World Champion. I’ve risen to the challenge each time I’ve had the opportunity to step up, and have enjoyed being able to answer some critics along the way, so I’m looking forward to the big fights that will present themselves over the next 18 months!</div>

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>For whatever reason, most people just don’t drink enough water. FACT. This in turn can have a negative effect on pretty much every part of the body, from causing headaches, reducing concentration, and even prematurely ageing the skin. As such, we’ve come up with three great recipes to upgrade your water game this summer, to ensure you’re better hydrated than SpongeBob Squarepants, himself. </b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
What is it</h3>
<br />
A lot of people claim they don’t like water, but in terms of hydration, there’s no other liquid that does a better job; tea and coffee are both diuretics, which increases the loss of water from the body; carbonated drinks are nearly always full of sugar, and if not, full of chemicals that are often even worse; and fruit juices are highly acidic and therefore should only be consumed in moderation.<br />
<br />
Fruit infused water on the other hand, is incredibly easy to prepare, adds a refreshing twist to what arguably isn’t the most exciting flavour in the world, and helps to get a few vital vitamins into your diet throughout the day. Simply get yourself a jug, pitcher or jar, and you’re good to go!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<br />
<h3>
Recipe 1 - Berries and sage</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPgbpxDNgmiFbwCUzvi0Wi3QznJfs5FuWwxb9H-7AzjdAfT23e7H2vmK3mlQubcV7U2i91FYNI6vUNcVlSlajGrXTrSYK1jGvZ6Y5SLmyzLXYN9RvSUQxzt0QSA0DWn98TeH7OuLPrTqg/s1600/blackberry-blueberry-healthy-fruit-infused-water.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPgbpxDNgmiFbwCUzvi0Wi3QznJfs5FuWwxb9H-7AzjdAfT23e7H2vmK3mlQubcV7U2i91FYNI6vUNcVlSlajGrXTrSYK1jGvZ6Y5SLmyzLXYN9RvSUQxzt0QSA0DWn98TeH7OuLPrTqg/s1600/blackberry-blueberry-healthy-fruit-infused-water.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Handful of blackberries</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Handful of blueberries</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Handful of raspberries</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Sage</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Ice</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Large jug of water</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
Muddle the sage at the bottom of the jar to release the flavours. With regard to the fruit, you can find a packet of frozen berries in most supermarkets, which works great for this recipe as you can just chuck it in and forego the ice. Failing that, fresh berries and ice will work just fine. Once it's all in, place the mixture in the fridge to infuse for at least a couple of hours, and then enjoy.<br />
<br />
Tasting like a refined version of Ribena, this berries and sage concoction is brimming with good ol’ vitamin C, as well providing healthy doses of dietary fibre, iron, magnesium and potassium.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Recipe 2 – Strawberry, watermelon and rosemary</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHe0yauLD1na5-mZ06zB3DGR-TbLKlRoOzIZLYVhNFy6az4sDo1Q7XouycX9YLzfJvcpk6wg_FH8xFCnfHt7X9mE3VJY8ByduTIIN3ci8bWDvz97i5bSRgXZOiwUWssSmP3CRjZ1UR3W8/s1600/strawberry-watermelon-healthy-fruit-infused-water-recipe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHe0yauLD1na5-mZ06zB3DGR-TbLKlRoOzIZLYVhNFy6az4sDo1Q7XouycX9YLzfJvcpk6wg_FH8xFCnfHt7X9mE3VJY8ByduTIIN3ci8bWDvz97i5bSRgXZOiwUWssSmP3CRjZ1UR3W8/s1600/strawberry-watermelon-healthy-fruit-infused-water-recipe.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Small punnet of strawberries</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Half a watermelon</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Rosemary</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Ice</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Large jug of water</b><br />
<br />
<br />
Muddle the rosemary to release the flavours. Halve the strawberries, and dice the watermelon, before throwing it all into the jar. Fill with ice and then pour water into the gaps, before placing it in the fridge to infuse.<br />
<br />
A refreshing cocktail of vitamin A and C, this gorgeous summer infusion is the perfect way to cool down on a warm afternoon. The fact that it also helps to fortify the immune system just happens to be an added bonus!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Recipe 3 – Virgin Pimms</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVdaPNInw2exleWf5Z2AJMTOmSaM0HdDG_dQhuWTHtZ_jNN-TQJVX6GH3XkWFoL8G-NzTOWzeiVFTodhiqilUDQDrXu92r7xWf2VYnxUnDhyphenhyphenVndumdm8_0jHjCHV27jaY_wk4wlgu3rtQ/s1600/lemon-lime-healthy-fruit-infused-water-recipe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVdaPNInw2exleWf5Z2AJMTOmSaM0HdDG_dQhuWTHtZ_jNN-TQJVX6GH3XkWFoL8G-NzTOWzeiVFTodhiqilUDQDrXu92r7xWf2VYnxUnDhyphenhyphenVndumdm8_0jHjCHV27jaY_wk4wlgu3rtQ/s1600/lemon-lime-healthy-fruit-infused-water-recipe.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1 orange</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1 lemon</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1 lime</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Quarter cucumber</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Mint</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Ice</b><br />
<b>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Large jug of water</b><br />
<br />
<br />
Once again, the first step is to crush the mint at the bottom of the jug. Cut the orange, lemon, and lime into quarters, and place them into the pitcher along with the diced cucumber. Fill the jug with ice, and then pour in the water to the top. Stir it all together, and then as before, stick it in the fridge to infuse.<br />
<br />
Like a Pimms without the Pimms (<i>or</i> hangover!), this infusion if full of vitamin C, which is great for keeping flu away, maintaining healthy looking skin, and assisting in the absorption of iron.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Needless to say, you’re free to eat the fruit afterwards with all these recipes, or even refill the jars for a second round of tasty infusion. Lets us know your thoughts on this nutritional summer drink in the comment box below, or even pop down a recipe of your own. And for another fruity cocktail, check out the Be An Athlete neon leggings, available in a zesty mix of orange, lemon or lime!</b><br />

<b>Despite having already enjoyed a solid couple of years in the fashion spotlight, trainers are showing no signs of going anywhere. Once fashionistas discovered just how much more comfortable they are in comparison to bulky brogues and toe-crushing stilettos, they never looked back. And since then, trainers have only become more wacky and wonderful. So while we’ve still got a good chunk of summer remaining, we thought we’d share some of the more colourful offerings currently available, to ensure you steal the show this August!</b><br />

What’s more, these colourful offerings from Asics feature elastic laces, so that they can be effortlessly slipped on and off, plus DuoMax technology for added stability (especially handy for those after-work cocktails!).<br />

With a holographic rainbow-coloured body, contrasted with fresh white detailing, these Nike’s are certainly a ‘force’ to be reckoned with. At their best in full sunshine, these high-top trainers are for those looking to make a statement, everywhere they go! It doesn’t even matter what you pair them with, whether it’s a tracksuit, diving suit, or even a <i>birthday </i>suit, as no one will be looking higher than your ankles...<br />

Whatever the case, there’s one guaranteed way to make your day more nutritious. Allow us to introduce Naturya....</b><br />

The Naturya blends are made from nutrient rich superfoods, which are concentrated into powder form. Having originally offered only single ingredients, including spirulina, wheatgrass, barleygrass, acai and chia seeds, the company have now released three amazing new combinations, specifically designed to up your nutrient intake. And though Marry Poppins may have got the substance wrong, she was bang-on with the quantity, considering just a 'spoonful' of one of Naturya’s blends is enough to squeeze a few more vital vitamins into your diet. Simply whisk it into smoothies, stir it into cereal, mash it into ice-cream, blend it into juice, or perhaps get even more inventive, and start reaping the rewards immediately!<br />

Containing banana, goji berry, hemp protein, pineapple and acai powder, Naturya’s organic fruit blend is extremely rich in vitamin C and manganese, while also providing an absolute thwack of potassium magnesium, fibre and protein.<br />
<br />
This particular blend helps with normal muscle function, aids the production of cells from oxidative stress, and even reduces tiredness.<br />

The organic greens blend helps to fortify your immune system, maintain healthy looking skin, and keep your metabolism in check, with its blend of wheatgrass, barleygrass, pineapple, chlorella and spirulina powders.

Literally 'choc' full of goodness, Naturya may have finally come up with a healthy solution for all you chocoholics out there. With its mix of cocoa, lucuma, maca and vanilla powder, the Naturya organic choc blend is nutritionally dense in iron, magnesium, potassium and fibre. Stir it into yoghurt and ice cream, or mix it with milk, for a blend that aids your bones, teeth, blood pressure and metabolism.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Naturya range is gluten free and 100% pure, meaning it is only made from single ingredients. The three different powders can even be mixed together to form one über nutritious monster of a mix! The brand is environmentally responsible and strives to minimise its carbon footprint, while also offering a portion of its profits as a donation to third world charitable organisations that focus on providing nourishment for those who are less fortunate than us.<br />

<b>Work hard. <i>Play hard</i>. It’s a foolproof motto, and one that lends itself particularly well to athletes. From tube strikes, to general elections, to One Direction splitting up (and believe us when we say this last one hit us <i>particularly </i>hard), it’s safe to say that the British Public have fulfilled the ‘work hard’ half of this cliché, and what with the summer holidays literally about to start, it’s high time to fulfil the second half!</b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Playing hard comes at a price, and in fact, it can be even harder to pull off (<i>and pull off well!</i>) than working hard. Whether it’s sunburn so bad you vow never to see daylight again, or blisters so big you may as well be walking on hot coals, those seven days of the year spent in warmer climates can go wrong very quickly. Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of our Top Ten Holiday Essentials to ensure there are blue skies ahead (unless of course, you’re holidaying in England, in which case those skies will be a sort of greyish colour, punctuated with the odd rain cloud here and there...). Blighty, we love you really!<br />

iPhone’s are about as stable in the hand as a wet bar of soap, and that’s on a normal day. So just imagine how many times you’re going to drop it on holiday, when you’re almost certainly under the influence of approximately nine pina coladas, your skin is coated with a permanent layer of sweat, and you’re getting said phone out ever two minutes for yet another essential #HolidaySelfie.<br />
<br />
Luckily, the Lifeproof iPhone 6 case is waterproof up to 6.6 metres, and coincidentally enough, can survive falls from 6.6 metres, too. It’s also snow proof, dirt proof, and benefits from an anti-reflective optical-glass camera lens!<br />

Lean Greens contains a powerful combination of superfoods in powder form, which dilutes in water to make one considerably nutritious drink. If the foreign food doesn’t agree with you, or you’re enjoying one particularly liquid diet (that just happens to also be <i>particularly </i>alcoholic) a quick Lean Greens shake each day is a great way to get a few vital vitamins back into the body!<br />

Refresh yourself after that long day at the beach with this energising blend of....um.....sea minerals. Jokes aside, the fact that the activebod shower gel is in concentrated form, means that it comes in a handy 100ml container and can therefore be taken in your hand luggage.<br />
<br />
What’s more, this particular recipe (also containing green tea extract and almond oil), has been specifically designed to cleanse and nourish the skin, following a build up of sweat, whilst it’s stimulating fragrance of pepper, eucalyptus and lemon fragrance restores your body and mind.<br />

The Maui Jim sunglasses range was inspired by the island of Maui; one of the lushest, most vibrant places on earth. Yet its intense sunlight creates conditions that hide the beauty of the island. As such, the company engineered the revolutionary PolarizedPlus2® lens, which not only offers 100% UVA and UVB protection, but also enhances the image you see.<br />
<br />
As such, it’s no surprise that Maui Jim are now the world’s fastest growing premium polarised sunglass maker, with over 125 styles on offer. We particular like the Kolohe ourselves, which are finished in black gloss and antique pewter, and just happen to also be scratch <i>and </i>impact resistant!<br />

<b>Today on the Be An Athlete blog, brand ambassador, Daniel Wheeler, shares his recipe for ‘Sweet Potato Hash Browns,’ taken from his amazing new cookery book; <i>The Macro Recipe Book Vol. 2.</i></b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Specifically targeting flexible dieters, the book differentiates itself from the competition with its high level of detail, as well as the inclusion of a revolutionary new <a href="https://www.myfitnesspal.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MyFitnessPal</a> barcode for every recipe - a world first for macro recipe books – meaning you can scan the recipes straight into the app, and monitor your nutritional intake like never before!<br />
<br />
<i>The Macro Recipe Book Vol. 2</i> contains 50 new recipes, covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts and even sauces. The book also explains, in detail, how to calculate your own macros, as well as how to track them, and includes a full allergy breakdown for each recipe, which has been approved by a registered dietician. And for those of you on the Weight Watchers diet, the macros have even been converted into Weight Watcher Points!<br />
<br />
Below is an excerpt from the book, explaining how to cook Dan’s beloved sweet potato hash browns, so what are you waiting for?<br />

I remember the days of Waffle House. Before I could drive, my dad would pick me up from a two hour ballet class, and dinner would be waffles and hash browns (with extra maple syrup, of course – what else would you want after two hours of ballet?). I really missed those hash browns, and thought it was about time to come up with a recipe to recreate them. <i>Behold!</i></div>
<br />
The good news...? This recipe has been tested by many readers and rated “foolproof”! One of my Instagram followers told me that this is the <i>only </i>sweet potato recipe that does not fall apart on her. You can make these Sweet Potato Hash Browns with breakfast, or as a starter with something else to dip in. Or with anything. Do you need an excuse for sweet potato hash browns? No you don’t.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>INGREDIENTS</u><br />
<br />
<i>Serves 9</i><br />
<br />
Imperial measurements: -<br />
<br />
<b>4 medium sweet potatoes </b><br />
<b>2 eggs, whisked </b><br />
<b>1/2 cup almond flour </b><br />
<b>2 teaspoons sea salt </b><br />
<b>1/4 cup green onions, chopped</b><br />
<b>1/4 cup coconut oil </b><br />
<br />
Metric measurements: -<br />
<br />
<b>4 medium sweet potatoes (560g) </b><br />
<b>2 eggs, whisked</b><br />
<b>65g almond flour </b><br />
<b>2 teaspoons sea salt </b><br />
<b>1/4 cup green onions, chopped </b><br />
<b>60ml coconut oil </b><br />
<br />
<br />
<u>DIRECTIONS</u><br />
<br />
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Pierce one of the sweet potatoes with a fork. Wrap it in a damp paper towel and place it in a small bowl with ½” of water. Microwave for 7-9 minutes, or until tender.<br />
<br />
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Let this sweet potato sit for 5 minutes. Then drain the water, peel the potato, and mash it with a fork.<br />
<br />
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Take the other 3 sweet potatoes and peel them. Then grate them on a box grater using the large holes. In your bowl of grated sweet potatoes, add the previous mashed potato, the 2 eggs, almond flour, sea salt, and green onion. Combine with a spoon.<br />
<br />
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>In a skillet (I use cast iron), pour coconut oil and heat over medium until your cast iron is hot. If you have a thermometer, it should read 350° fahrenheit. Then drop in sweet potato “cakes” in batches of about 2-3 tablespoons. Flatten them with a spatula. Cook on each side for 5 minutes or until golden brown.<br />
<br />
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Once cooked, place on a plate with paper towels to drain the oil. Serve HOT!<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>The latest release from adidas is making waves among the fashion industry, in more ways than one. That’s because the footwear giants have collaborated with <a href="http://www.parley.tv/#unxparley">Parley for the Oceans</a> – an organisation that promotes aquatic awareness – in order to create what is quite possible the most environmentally friendly trainers to date. </b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The concept shoe is made entirely from reclaimed ocean waste, including yarns, filaments and deepsea gillnets – an incredibly effective fishing mesh which, when illegally dumped by fishermen, continues to catch all manner of rare and endangered species at the bottom of the ocean. We all know the dangers posed to hedgehogs and such like creatures by the plastic ring binders your six pack of Stella comes in; well, this is similar, but on a much larger scale.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimuw7s4dOUkV_mHvRItmQbriAJaGtQ21uuRMSlKyocO4phS0pprE7zzkixijAU5k_gbdeonixdbEEWT5xCMZcsH49Ta4mOqwGsZda-0kNyd58upVfwhMjGT2marEJb2IIwH322YcTzCgM/s1600/adidas-parley-ocean-economical-trainers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="adidas-parley-oceans-environmentally-friendly-trainers" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimuw7s4dOUkV_mHvRItmQbriAJaGtQ21uuRMSlKyocO4phS0pprE7zzkixijAU5k_gbdeonixdbEEWT5xCMZcsH49Ta4mOqwGsZda-0kNyd58upVfwhMjGT2marEJb2IIwH322YcTzCgM/s1600/adidas-parley-ocean-economical-trainers.jpg" title="" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Captain Paul Watson, the founder of Parley, has described the organisation as “a collaboration space where creators, thinkers and leaders from art, film, music, fashion, technology and science partner up with major brands and environmentalists to raise awareness and to collaborate on projects that can end the destruction of the magic blue universe beneath us: Our Oceans.” As the brands tagline states; ‘if the oceans die. We die.’ This is hard-hitting stuff, and so it’s absolutely fantastic that the organisation has secured the backing of such a major clothing label.<br />
<br />
<br />
These aquamarine offerings hint at the consumer-ready range surfacing later this year, which will utilise reclaimed waste to full effect. Not only does this mean the collection will be incredibly green, as it were, but will also hopefully raise a huge amount of awareness with regards to the dangers the planet could potentially face in the near future.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Your body tells the story of the choices and decisions you have
made; it's a reflection of the journey you've been on. And though the origins of
that journey are important, it’s equally important to know where you’re going,
and ultimately hoping to end up.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By using the example of myself, I hope to demonstrate how
your body’s journey doesn’t necessarily stay on a single path, but can deviate
as a result of constructions and encounters along the way. These alterations
aren't necessarily a negative thing though. Sometimes, choosing a new direction
can help us reassess our true end goal, and potentially reach it even sooner.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
The Starting Point</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Physically, my body reflects two stories; there remains a number of injuries resulting
from a long career in rugby, as well as the more recent physical developments from
the calisthenics training I’ve since adopted. But why did I transition from professional rugby into
calisthenics?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well ultimately, this decision derived from a forced retirement,
having sustained a head injury during a
routine Nottingham Rugby training session, which put me out of any training for
nearly six months. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once recovered, though I couldn’t return to sport, I continued
lifting weights in the gym, utilising the same sessions and exercises I
previously used whilst training as a professional rugby player. However, that
training had previously had a purpose - an end point; the game at the weekend. I
needed to be a certain shape for stability, a certain level of fitness for
endurance, and a certain degree of agility to manoeuvre around the field. This
was my weekly focus, but now that I was retired, why exactly was I continuing
to train in this particular way?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
The Journey</h3>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
Training had become stale without a purpose. So thank God I
met Tim when I did, before I became completely demotivated. He introduced me to
a new form of training; my destination needed to change, and so I needed to pursue a new path - my calisthenics
journey had begun!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The challenge that calisthenics brings in mastering and
controlling your body, in being able to complete movements or positional holds
(such as a reverse lever or human flagpole) provided the challenge
I was looking for. For me, it's now a personal endeavour to constantly improve
myself, whether that’s the ease with which I perform a particular shape, or the
length of time for which I hold it. And suffice to say, I'm addicted to that
challenge! I'm the oldest I've ever been (it might surprise you to know!), and yet
in the best shape of my life thanks to this newfound form of motivation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwsVfbHW8vWTyhzWCow_oWCvWnHgNlDZ-t1GJQEGBtubskoOJ7CNgh9kNXuMrXZJ_PkOC6xt0bDFp1R5UEK9BTCRUUgJYSQGBy1XJ9RryZcoPmP9xfqO2XjH4UFW3yj5OGDQiaCw2FcVU/s1600/baa-event-hyde-park.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwsVfbHW8vWTyhzWCow_oWCvWnHgNlDZ-t1GJQEGBtubskoOJ7CNgh9kNXuMrXZJ_PkOC6xt0bDFp1R5UEK9BTCRUUgJYSQGBy1XJ9RryZcoPmP9xfqO2XjH4UFW3yj5OGDQiaCw2FcVU/s1600/baa-event-hyde-park.jpg" /></a><o:p> </o:p></div>
<h3>
What is Calisthenics</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Tim explained in his own calisthenics based article, ‘<a href="http://blog.baaclothing.com/2015/05/eat-clean-train-clean-calisthenics-benefits.html" target="_blank">EatClean, Train Clean</a>,’ it's what many people describe as the most natural form of
training. And he's right. Having to position and align your whole body in
certain positions, and have the ability to create the necessary tension to hold
that position, such as my favourite; the human flag, means there is no hiding
place. It requires the correct alignment of joints and optimal muscle
synergies. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
The End Goal</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Calisthenics has not only challenged me in terms of
strength, control and balance, but also in correcting the postural and joint
alignment of my battered body, from having played over 300 championship games
for Nottingham Rugby.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not only can I control my body more efficiently now, but I
also better understand it, as a result of this natural form of training. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what story does your body tell, and is it time for a new
chapter; a new direction? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Calisthenics was the deviation my body needed, and it could
definitely work for you, too. If you want to get started with your own
calisthenics journey, then keep an eye out for training tips and blogs from both
me and Tim through Be An Athlete, and why not check out the series of
