13.01.2022 Movement is life

11.01.2022 I’ve always felt like a bit of a fish out of water when it comes to the standup game... So when Theresa mentioned that she was kicking off Muay Thai Masterclasses led by her and Shannon I jumped at the opportunity to participate Since Theresa and I are together I may be a little biased but even if we weren’t I’d still be signing up to this in a heartbeat.... Though these classes pack one hell of a workout, they are far more than just ‘boxing for fitness’. Limited to 6 participants and led by a 3 time World Title holder and a State Champ, they are purposefully structured to fast track skill development. Footwork is a skill. Holding pads is a skill. Punches, kicks and knees are skills. Whether you’re training for fitness or to test your mettle in the ring, it takes practice and guidance to hone these skills to a sharp edge so you can use them safely and effectively Large classes at MMA / Muay Thai Gyms are great for practice, but one or two instructors per 10-20+ students means very little one on one time and since the class times are mostly evenings so they are out for me because of my schedule. Intensive day certification courses are good launching pads, but after they’re done I’m always left piecining it together on my own which is hit and miss at best. These masterclasses offer the best of both worlds; Guided practice in a small group, broken up into weekly sessions at a time that fits seamlessly into my schedule. Whether you’re a PT like me that wants to actually pick up skills rather than just ticking a box for insurance, or you have an unconventional schedule and want to learn the sport in a supportive environment alongside likeminded people you can’t go wrong with this course Reach out to Theresa here or via our other business page Be Water Women's Health for more information Be water my friends Coach Clem #muaythai #standup #boxing #padwork #skills #practice #kaizen #continuousimprovement #bettereveryday #movebetter #bewater #movementislife #lifeismovement #movementculture #fitfam #perthfitfam #smallgrouptraining

11.01.2022 With the easing of Covid restrictions there have been a fair few Fit Pros on social media advising gym goers to ‘ease back into training’. . Easing into it is solid advice if you’ve had a lay-off... but I find it amusing when I see the way ‘easing into it’ is depicted in most of these posts; . Keep it simple; Stick to a small range of movements that work the whole body (i.e. the fundamentals).... . Work at a low to moderate intensity relative to your maximum load (strength) or heart-rate (cardio). . Take longer rest breaks so that you’re fully recovered. . Stop short of fatigue/failure and finish with gas in your tank. . We not only agree with each of these points, but we teach them as pillars within our standard, everyday training philosophy. . Using them as descriptors for ‘easing into it’ suggests that standard training should be the opposite; Higher variety and complexity, closer to your maximum, flirting with / crossing over into fatigue and failure. . If you’re general population (which is most of the population) and you just want to be healthy and capable, following these points 90-100% of the time is not only perfectly ok, but, if you ask us, highly recommended . If you consider yourself an athlete and/or you have reasonable, time sensitive performance goals the recommendations still stand for 80-90% of the time - with most of your 10-20% of ‘hard training’ best put towards your sport or goal activity. . The message that we live and breathe is that showing up to practice the fundamentals consistently and finishing each practice feeling better than when you started should be your default whatever your motivation to move. . Adding intensity into the mix can propel you forward further and faster if that’s what you’re after, but it’s an optional extra which should be built on a solid foundation, purposefully executed and limited by a ‘less is more’ mentality. . If you’d like to learn more about how we have used this philosophy to help everyday people achieve long term gain free from pain... reach out! We’d love to walk you through it Simply comment below or send us a DM . Be water my friends . Coach Clem See more

10.01.2022 A massive happy birthday to long time member @dylandevereux . Rather than blowing out 28 candles We went with pushing out 28 barbell presses with 56kg . Hip hop hooray!

10.01.2022 Getting practice in with kids can feel like an tough sell, especially ‘cardio’. . Whether your aim is to walk, run or cycle at a steady pace or in interval bursts, kids have a funny way of messing with time schedules. . I’ll be the first to admit this chaos can be frustrating. I look forward to and appreciate the windows of ‘me time’ where I can plan my work, work my plan, and settle into a rhythm of my choosing. ... . But in every onset of chaos there are hidden opportunities, in this case the opportunity is a chance to shift perspective. . Most of our ancestors didn’t need ‘cardio’ or ‘go out for runs’ with preset schedules or complex routines, they simply got up and moved from place to place. . And our kids, given the freedom to do so, are in a glorious window of time where this is still the case for them, mostly through the magic of play. . Play is spontaneous and unstructured, motivated by curiosity and joy. . It ebbs and flows between the full spectrum of effort and mindset; from heart thumping to steady beating, single minded concentration to care free excitement and spontaneous expression. . Structure is great. Part of ‘adulting’ is having a semblance of a schedule and sticking to it to some degree so that what needs to get done is ticked off the to do list... . But when kids, or life in general, interrupts that schedule, before you get frustrated it could be worth taking a moment to re-frame; . ‘Getting in the way’ could turn out be the perfect opportunity to shift gears and accept an invitation to play. .

08.01.2022 A famous motto coined by Gray Cook is to first move well, then move often. . At Be Water we teach people how to move well, but before learning and practicing you need to remove limitations. . One limitation which often flies under the radar is footwear, especially a raised heel.... . A raised heel makes it impossible to stand or move with proper alignment. . As Katy Bowman explains in Move Your DNA, heeled shoes force your body to shift and compensate in order to remain upright, much as it does while walking downhill. . In itself this is not an issue, the issue is that most of us are in this position for most of the day. And what ends up taking the brunt of all the pressure that builds up? Your knees and your lower back . This is the case while simply standing and walking, throw running into the mix and it’s not just pressure you’re dealing with, it’s explosive force. . Kelly Starrett emphasises that even a small heel, like that found in a conventional ‘running shoe’ will slowly but surely wear you down until something has to give. Bowman uses the analogy of a wheel slightly out of alignment steadily getting worse over time. . What’s more, the effect of the raised heel is magnified dependant on your height. So the seemingly small heel of a child’s shoe can have the same negative effects that stilettos would have on an adult. . The consequences of heeled shoes are numerous and far reaching, but the solution is simple... Go barefoot when you can and ditch the raised heels when you wear shoes If not all the time then at least in your ‘everyday’ shoes. . If you experience regular back or lower body pain you might be surprised at how much your life changes when you do. . #barefoot #barefootshoes #minimalistshoes #barefootrunning #wholebodybarefoot #footwear #shoes #footweardesign #movement #alignment #moveyourdna #movewell #moveoften #backpain #runnersknee #painfree See more

08.01.2022 @ashchopping smashing out a PB 120kg deadlift for 6 reps . That’s 20kg up from his previous PB of 100kg which he easily matched a few weeks back even though it’s been a fair while since we’ve deadlifted on the barbell, let alone lifted heavy . With the onset of Covid we pivoted to online coaching which meant a steady training diet of calisthenics and kettlebells.... . That’s actually most of what we do anyway so no huge change other than the venue and the selection of weights available; 20kg, 24kg & 32kg. . Not much in terms of deadlifting weight, but plenty to work with swings and single leg deadlifts, so that’s what we did. . You don’t need a lot of equipment to see results. You don’t need heavy weights. You don’t even necessarily need to work hard. . ...there are two keys to success. One is to show up. The other one is to keep going. Most people don’t keep going. (Dan John) . Consistency is the magic sauce. . Since we’ve started Ash hasn’t skipped a beat. Week in, week out he shows up and does the work... The proof is in the PB’s .

07.01.2022 How are you moving your body today? . This week we've been away on holidays, away from the gym space and the tools we enjoy utilizing the most. But the truth is we're never without a gym when you can get off the beaten track and into the bush! . We to mix things up and get our movement in outdoors, in nature's playground .... . There are soooo many physical and mental benefits to getting amongst nature and moving as we were born to do! #1 Walking outdoors in the bush through natural terrain, improves body awareness and balance. . #2 This improved and varied feedback can also lead to better mechanics of the hips, knees, and core . #3 Walking itself is so great for our heart health . . #4 Nature helps us to feel connected, grounded, calm and it's so great for our mental health! . #5 You will get your Vitamin D fix; improving your body's absorption of calcium and phosphorus, essential for bone health and minimizing osteoporosis . . Whilst I love the gym as a playground for connecting to our bodies, its main purpose is to help you feel strong and confident to be outdoors living your life! . .

07.01.2022 A swing or not a swing... that is the question. . Whether tis nobler for the body to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous technique. . Or to take arms against a sea of sloppiness. And, by opposing lack of skill, become competent? ... . . . . . All literary jokes aside, the Kettlebell Swing is probably one of the most bastardised exercises in fitness. . Between marketing pictures, ‘influencer‘ videos and the gym floor you’ve likely seen many ‘alleged’ swings, but odds are that none of them lived up to the name. . At Be Water, we teach the hardstyle kettlebell swing; . Not a front or overhead raise. Not a squat / knee bend. Not tipping the torso up and down like a drinking bird. . An explosive hinge which propells the kettlebell forward using the power of the hips, which are drawn back like a bow and snapped forward to a ‘standing plank’. . The arms, in this scenario, are simply straps keeping hold of the kettlebell, which shoots up to chest height, floats momentarily, then drops back of its own accord... to be caught and propelled forward by the hips again or allowed to descend safely back to earth. . This kind of swing is not ‘bad’ for your back, or any other part of your body. It’s low impact and extremely effective; . As Pavel Tsatsouline states, Doing the perfect kettlebell swing alone is superior to 99 percent of sophisticated strength and conditioning programs. . Emphasis on perfect. Or at least the pursuit of perfection. . The first differentiator between success and sub par results with any movement isn’t hard work, it’s skill. . This is particularly true of the kettlebell swing, which punishes incompetence as much as it rewards proficiency. . So by all means do the work, but don’t forget to first put in the practice. . (P.s. If you’d like help guiding your practice, reach out! It’s what we do ) . Be water my friends .

06.01.2022 Exclusive Muay Thai masterclass with coaches Theresa & Shannon, DM for details

05.01.2022 It’s not hard to distinguish between man made and natural environments... . If nothing else, the abundance of right angles and flat surfaces are a dead giveaway. . On the whole many of us have been raised to consider this normal and good; the straight lines and uniform shapes of our buildings and gardens are a purposeful imposition of order upon chaos that makes us feel at ease... ... . But as a society we are having to re-learn the hard lesson that what we perceive to be chaos in nature is often just an order beyond our understanding and control... an order which we disrupt to our detriment . Katy Bowman highlights the application of this to movement in her book ‘Move Your DNA’ where she emphasises that the ultimate goal of all corrective exercise should be to progress to moving ‘Au Naturel’; . Competently navigating the infinite varieties of nature - Walking and running on uneven terrain, climbing trees and rock faces, lifting stones and odd objects... . Navigating consistent, predictable surfaces and loads is easier... but when it comes to developing and maintaining our ability to move, easier isn’t necessarily better . Every subtle variation we encounter in nature forces us to move in a slightly different way. This enhances our brain’s ‘body map’ (proprioception) and builds a comprehensive capability able to respond reflexively to the unexpected. . The flip side of this coin is that NOT encountering natural variation increases the likelihood of repetitive use injuries, shrinks our ‘body map’ and creates a fragile, one dimensional capability likely to fold in the face of the slightest diversion from the norm. . So don’t be afraid to step off the beaten path... a walk on the wild side could be exactly what you need . Be water my friends .
