About Affiliate Links

By
Yeah, I make money through this page.  But before you go off and think that the blog is all about the money let me explain how it works.

The page is not set up to make money, it just happens to bring in some extra income for me.

Here is what happens.  Sometimes I will post what are known as affiliate links in articles.

It is basically a link to a product or site that sells something.  Say a link to a book I have recommended.

If you like the look of said book and buy it, I get a percentage.  This would be the same for a T-Shirt, ebook, barbell, or a great new frypan.  I also might get compensated in product, vouchers, or other reward systems such as a warm glow in my soul.

There is another thing which I would like to point out however:

I will never add an affiliate link to something I have never used, do not personally believe in, or anything that goes against my personal code of ethics.

I have in the past been approached by supplement companies asking me to peddle their wares.

All of whom have been politely turned down as I do not personally take any supplements - thus how could I honestly and with integrity suggest that my clients and/or readers take them.

I will do my best to outline when a blog post contains affiliate links, but I also do not want to put you off from reading valuable information because of the presence of these links.

If you have any questions about this please get in touch with me by email - david@360degreefitness.co.nz and I can attempt to answer them.

It's time to start talking...

This is a tough topic to talk about, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't, what we need to do is to work harder to open up about it.  I'm talking about mental health.  This blog post talks about my journey through depression and anxiety, if this raises issues for anyone, please contact one of the numbers at the end of the article and talk to someone who can offer support. It's men's health week this week, and I thought that this was the perfect time to talk about men's mental health rather than just looking at physical health.  Mental health is just as important as physical health and the two are very often closely interlinked. Before you go and think that I am just talking out of a hole in my head about this subject let me put this out there - I have suffered from both depression and anxiety in the past, and still, struggle with depression at times.  While I never got to the point of having any suicidal thoughts or self-harmed in any way, it was by no me

Well, that wasn't supposed to happen...

So, there I was, my training was going well, I was tracking nicely to reach my goal of 500 hours of training over the course of the year, and then I decided to organise a sparring session on a Sunday evening just for fun with some guys I train with.   Everything was going well, I was 20 minutes into the session, we were working with some intensity without trying to kill each other, I wasn't getting hit too much (except that round kick to the face - thanks Ants), and then it happened.  I stepped backwards to avoid a hook and bang (and I do mean BANG) I ruptured my Achilles tendon. It happened just like everyone I had talked to previously described it - it felt like I got kicked in the leg, I heard a huge pop (not an exaggeration - one of the guys I was training with heard it clearly from across the room), and I felt like my foot and leg were no longer connected to each other.  I went down like a sack of potatoes.  My first thought was "not again!", I had had a go

The quicker the better…a brief article about speed

By

In most team sports, speed kills…the opposition that is. I can’t think of one team field based sport where speed is not a game changer. If one team is fundamentally faster than another they already have a huge advantage. Many coaches of sporting teams want to develop faster athletes (myself included). There are some however who are not sure how to go about doing this.  As such, I thought I would shed some light on the issue and do my best to help anyone who would like to get the jump on the opposition (either athlete or coach). Of course, if you just like reading my writing then I’m OK with that too.  What is speed? Speed can be split into two broad categories – first, there is top speed (maximal velocity for those sports science geeks out there). This is essentially how fast you can run when in full flight, think Usain Bolt at about the 60-metre mark in a 100-metre race. This is important for track athletes but less so for team sport athletes. It's nice to hav
