I thought I would see what happens to my body when I exercise maximally in extreme conditions. I took my Concept 2 rower to the beach, the top of a mountain and into the desert at the hottest time of day here in the middle east. It was 119.7 degrees Fahrenheit. I recorded my pulse, RPE (rate of perceived exertion) and core temperature every 500m. Unsurprisingly the results where as expected and this film explores a little into them.

I completed a personal 31 day plank challenge. Every day for a month I held the plank position for as long as I could and recorded the results. From a disappointing start and first day time of only 33 seconds, I improved throughout the month finishing with quite an amazing time of 2 minutes 28 seconds. This was a 448% improvement. The benefits of completing this challenge were incredible, I increased muscle tone and certainly became stronger.

Why does FIFA keep feeding us the same old tired format of Football World Cup? Every Football World Cup including Qatar 2022 is the pinnacle, the be all and end all of football. Supposedly the best countries battle it out every 4 years to become champions. Why oh why are so many of the opening group stages so boring? Why do teams overthink things and tinker with their selection? Why do some teams go out and try not to get beaten, this is the World Cup, why not have a go! Some games mean nothing because either a team is qualified for the knockout stages already or a conversely a team is already eliminated by their third group match. Some teams know what result they need from certain games and then play accordingly. They would take a bore draw than risk losing by playing attacking football.
Why if it is called a football world cup are there only a handful of teams in the final tournament and did you know most countries in the world will never experience a world cup finals?
My proposal for one big knockout World Cup tournament would guarantee every game was important. Win or go home. Its quite simple.
