<p>"That's why they're not you" [Was my reply]</p> <p><br> <br> We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>There are a couple of independent group training facilities in a few other towns that I sometimes trained at in the pre COVID days.</p> <p>Not over the last year or so.</p> <p>All owned by friends in the Fitness Industry and options that sometimes make logistical sense.</p> <p>In Sheffield or Rotherham when we were staying at the in laws.</p> <p>Bakewell for when I was spending the day over there between school runs (my two older boys have half the week over that way with their mum and go to school there).</p> <p>Buxton when I’m driving past at session time and it’s nice for a change.</p> <p>All a bit different to what we do, but same end of the spectrum – a group session based programme.</p> <p>I’ve not been to the South Yorkshire or Bakewell ones for over 16 months.</p> <p>I’ve done a couple of sessions at Buxton for the first time recently.</p> <p>The other day I was chatting to one of the guys in the session who I’ve trained along side several times in the past.</p> <p>His entire lower leg was in a large plastic brace.</p> <p>He’d torn his Achilles tendon.</p> <p>And so was doing a modified version of the session that involved only exercises for the mid to upper body.</p> <p>I mentioned that I’d had somewhat similar when I fell off a ladder at work when I was 27 and broke bones in my foot and ankle and strained some ligaments.</p> <p>And everyone thought I was mad when I was back in the next morning just training upper body.</p> <p>I asked how long till he was 100%.</p> <p>“It’s a year till I can jump again” he said.</p> <p>“My friends all say that, if they were me, they’d have have a year off and ‘enjoy myself’.</p> <p>“That’s why they’re not you” I replied.</p> <p>Because from my, experience, the biggest difference between yo-yoing back and forth over the year
