Kilimanjaro was top of my bucket list..
Everest Base Camp in Nepal is right there beside it..

I’m linking up with Earths Edge for a 16 day trip to hike Everest Base Camp in October of next year (2026)..

There’ll be a training day with me in person early next year; and a two day training event two months before we fly to Nepal.

I’m also going to be working directly with everybody on a fitness program and a private WhatsApp group a few months beforehand to make sure everyone is in great shape for the trip.

We’re only taking 20 people and it’s fully inclusive so all the accommodation, meals and training weekends are included.

You can book flights separately or with Earth's Edge (they're a big chunk of the payment so go with whatever is best for you)..

I’ve linked more details in the description; so if you’re up for a challenge or a life changing trip, then check out the page on Earths Edge.

Once your deposit is paid, let me know so I can follow you on Instagram to connect over the next few months. I look forward to the year ahead .

Conor O Shea is a mobility coach.

He is also the host of the Strong For Life podcast and with over 230k followers on Instagram, he helps people over 30 feel a decade younger whilst moving pain free.

He spent most of his 20s struggling with chronic pain that affected him so badly at times I considered leaving the fitness industry because he was worried, I couldn’t do his job anymore.

He left Ireland in 2013 and sought out the best coaches in the world. He learned from the yogis in Mysore and the best callisthenics, mobility and flexibility coaches who were super fit in their 50s and 60s.

He began to understand that his body was riddled with injuries and how to rebuild himself from the ground up.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:

· Five essential movements include squats, ground sitting, and toe touching.

· Chronic pain can be addressed through consistent mobility practices.

· Ground sitting is a simple yet effective daily practice.

· Environmental design can encourage more movement throughout the day.

· Flexibility training should be strength-focused to avoid injuries.

· Common complaints include low back, knee, and shoulder issues.

· Strengthening the back and stretching the front can alleviate many problems.

· Mobility practices should be integrated into daily routines.

· Injury management requires working around pain to maintain strength. Mobility and flexibility are crucial for long-term health.

· Injury management should prioritise alternatives to surgery.

· The psychology of injury plays a significant role in recovery.

· Rebuilding strength after injury is essential for recovery.

· Pain can be a signal of adaptation, not always harm.

· Foot health is vital, especially for runners and active individuals.

· Supportive footwear and foot exercises can help with plantar fasciitis

It has been a long six months.. but finally my new program is ready..

My team and I have been building out the NEW Keane Edge Program into an third party app over the past few months and I wanted to send a quick email to let you know that there is €50 discount off the program starting Monday week.

Similar to my old BKF Online Program, there will be group coaching with me (weekly Q+A's so I can tailor things to you etc)..

BUT...

We completely revamped it.

New training programs..
New recipes that plug directly into your favourite food app..
An app that syncs with your favourite third party apps (my fitness pal, Apple Watch etc)..

It's taken a while to do..

But I think you'll agree that it's been worth it..

If you enter code "MAYOFFER" at the checkout, you'll get it for €146.

I'm capping it at 50 people as well; so that code will expire once the group is full.

If you have any questions, just let me know and I look forward to working together if you decide it's for you.

Dr. Elliott (Rehab Fix) is one of the world’s leading experts on sciatica and back pain treatment.

With over 930k followers on Instagram and a YouTube channel of over 618k subscribers, his content helps those who are frustrated by outdated advice and unnecessary treatments.

He stands out in the world of chiropractic care—not only as the visionary behind the #1 online low-back program but also as the advocate who challenges the notion that you need a doctor to heal your back.

As a former competitive athlete, Grant's career was derailed by persistent back pain and ineffective treatment. Determined to find a better way, he turned his struggles into a mission, combining his medical expertise with innovative strategies to challenge the flawed “sick care” system.

Today, his program has impacted lives across the globe, demonstrating that your spine is resilient, your body is capable, and recovery is entirely within your reach.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:

· The notion that back pain requires medication and rest is false.

· Fear of movement can lead to chronic pain and disability.

· Gradual exposure to movement is essential for recovery.

Perfect posture is not necessary; movement is more important.

· Back pain is influenced by multiple factors, including emotional and social aspects. A holistic approach to back pain considers emotional and psychological factors.

· Understanding the correlation between stress and physical pain is crucial.

· Sciatica is often misunderstood as just leg pain, but it originates from the back.

· Stretching a sensitive nerve can worsen sciatica symptoms.

· Individualized treatment plans are essential for effective pain management.

· There is no one-size-fits-all solution for sciatica; each case is unique.

· Movement is vital for spinal health and pain relief.

· Pain does not always indicate tissue damage; understanding this can change perceptions.

· Back cracking is generally harmless and can be done if it feels good.
