25.01.2022 Training for your goals - reducing body fat If your goal is to reduce body fat, it’s important to balance the very important benefits of training to achieve fat loss, including increased muscle mass, improved insulin sensitivity, increased daily energy expenditure etc; with the physical stress that training takes on the body, which if pushed too far, can result in heightened cortisol levels which can actually result in the body holding onto fat and generally underperforming... in the bodily functions required to support weight loss. Put simply, training as often and as hard as you can is NOT the answer for long-term success with this goal - particularly when coupled with other stressful lifestyle and nutrition habits such as extreme calorie restriction. This = recipe for disaster! In terms then of how to effectively train for fat-loss, finding the sweet spot between tough training and not overstressing the body can take some experimentation and experience. You might like to work individually with a coach to help you to accelerate this learning process - along with your results! Generally speaking, we recommend starting with 3-5 sessions per week which include both strength and cardio elements, at an appropriate intensity, and then as much low-intensity, non-exercise related activity as possible. This training frequency and intensity will need to be appropriately adjusted as you go, based on how you’re recovering and tolerating the training load. Finally, it’s important to note that your nutrition and lifestyle habits also need to be considered and adjusted, and will vary depending on your individual goals and current health / fitness status

25.01.2022 Standing pike mobility check ins last week This is a great test for assessing flexibility through the hamstrings and lower back, understanding what’s going on through the curvature of the spine, and identifying any restrictions which may impact on future exercise prescription, particularly the range available when performing hip hinging patterns such as deadlifts Our favourite movements for improving standing pike mobility include Jefferson curls, standing pike ballistics (gentle bouncing), seated forward folds with an external load (ie weight plate on the back), front splits variations and spinal twists

22.01.2022 Developing / maintaining strength, stability, power and coordination through the midline is critical for having good posture and breathing mechanics, peak athletic performance, and resilience to injury. When training the musculature through the core, it’s important to have a well rounded regime balancing the lower abdominals, obliques, upper abdominals, lower back, hip flexors and glutes. If you’re looking for some inspo for broadening your core workouts, check out the... circuit we worked through this morning: KB Turkish get up 3s 1/1r Half kneeling KB wood chop 3s 10/10r KB round the body swings 3s 20r KB windmill 3s 10/10r Seated leg lifts 3s 10r Ab roll outs 3s 10r Hanging knees to elbows 3s 10r Back extensions 3s 10r See more

07.01.2022 Training for your goals - maximising physical capacity and performance If your priority goal is to maximise improvements in your physical capacity and performance, then you need to train to your maximum recoverable volume. This means the highest training frequency and intensity which you can totally recover from, without experiencing symptoms of overtraining / burnout like excessive fatigue, reduced motivation, physical niggles or injuries and/or plateaued performance... improvements.Your maximum recoverable volume will be in a constant state of change, and it’s important that you and your coach are monitoring how you’re performing and recovering, and adjusting your training accordingly.There are many ways to increase training program / session strain, including: Increase the number of sessions per week; Increase the length of each session; Increase the intensity (load) of weights; Reduce the rest period between sets, or try pairing exercises or performing a circuit (not for maximal strength / power) in order to achieve less overall rest time; Increase the time under tension during exercises; and / or Increase the complexity of the exercise selection (i.e. more compound lifts, gymnastics, skills under fatigue). Raising your maximum recoverable volume also means investing time and effort into practices outside of the gym, including nutrition, sleep and other regenerative practices
