Having worked with Scottish Rugby, Glasgow Warriors, the Irish Women’s7’s rugby team and inter-county GAA players - he's prepared some activation exercises and a special challenge.

There are plenty of people running and jogging to stay fit during the current disruption to our daily routines. Paul starts with a comprehensive activation routine to help us all to stay safe while getting active.
