24.01.2022 Squatting is one of our foundational human movements often lost through sedentary lifestyles. Aiming to perform a full range squat helps build mobility and stability through the upper back and spine, hips, knees and ankles. It also encourages better muscle recruitment and promotes knee health, in turn creating greater overall strength.

19.01.2022 Strengthening your core is not just about building muscle definition... It's also necessary to stabilise your lower back, pelvis, hips and abdomen and to train these muscles to work together. In turn we can reduce pressure on areas of the body and alleviate pain and injury. This workout takes between 20-30mins and is perfect to incorporate into your training once a week!

17.01.2022 Effort is the most important metric for fitness With the Last Dance docuseries winding up, Michael Jordans win at all cost attitude has divided opinions. Even so, his philosophy on always giving your best is hard to argue with, and is something that resonates for us In health and fitness terms, it means believing in the philosophy of trying your best, every single day ... Its not about breaking records or being perfect everyday, but if you apply a consistent effort over time, it will pay off in the long run!

17.01.2022 Kettle Bell Swings are one of the most important functional exercises in our programming, yet commonly when we start working with clients they haven’t been taught why or how to execute the lift correctly. Firstly why are they so beneficial ? They target the posterior chain of the body which commonly is weakened due to the sedentary lifestyles many of us live. ... Studies show that for clients with lower back issues the swing can help alleviate pain in comparison to other traditional posterior based exercises such as deadlifts or good mornings due to a change in shearing force at the L4 & L5. The swing incorporates lower loads reducing chance of injury The swing has a cardiovascular element Today Damo takes us through the more complex single arm swing, this has all the above benefits whilst adding in additional shoulder stability, scapula control, core stabilisation, grip strength and unilateral coordination. Ensure you master the double handed swing before adding the single hand to your routine.

17.01.2022 The coronavirus pandemic has thrown up plenty of challenges, but its also provided us with some opportunities. Our nutritionist Nishaat Patel has shared some simple tips on eating healthy to help improve our overall well-being during this difficult time: https://bit.ly/2WUS8mT

15.01.2022 Are you doing the crab walk correctly? Band placement plays a fundamental role in correct execution of this commonly used glute exercise. Quite often we see people placing the band around their lower leg or ankle which encourages the activation of the TFL muscle in our hips. This muscle, for many people, is already overactive and doesn't need any encouragement! To correctly target your glute medius try placing the band around your feet or above your knees.... Click to watch Ryan demonstrate correct execution of the crab walk. See more

Downward dog This is a compound stretch, affecting two different muscular chains together - the calf-hamstrings-glutes, along with the pecs and lats being pulled through shoulder flexion.

11.01.2022 As clique as it sounds, Rome wasnt built in a day. Weve seen over time that long term results come with consistent and measured efforts. Its about little wins every day. Its those small incremental steps in the right direction that lead to long term change. Stay positive and stay the course!

09.01.2022 A strong and functional core plays an important role in functional and biomechanically efficient movement. The core provides both stability to the spine and torso through the ‘inner unit’ as well as movement which the ‘outer unit’ plays a greater roll in. A holistic core workout will work both systems. In our latest blog post @damianboddypt explains the inner and outer units of the core in more detail and provides a library of exercises for you to try at home. https://functionalforlife.com.au/no-equipment-core-workout/

06.01.2022 Many people wonder which is better - to run or to walk. The answer is: It depends. The decision to choose one activity over another is personal and it is necessary to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each of these exercises to determine which one best suits your needs. Read our recent blog post comparing the two on our website! https://functionalforlife.com.au/walking-vs-running/

06.01.2022 Step up your leg training this week with this lower body circuit. The inclusion of unilateral movement will hit your muscles hard while also promoting stability. Enjoy!

05.01.2022 Always stiff in the lower back? Foam rolling can release the lower back and surrounding muscles, relieving an enormous amount of tension.

04.01.2022 Great to see the Bacchus Marsh Football & Netball Club Inc GB Forestry Cobras committing to a weekly group session. Theyll be nice and strong if they get a season away

04.01.2022 Experiencing lower back pain? Whilst this can be attributed to an array of causes, often muscle imbalances can be a contributing factor. If you sit down for long periods of time it is likely your hip flexor muscles are going to be on the tight and restricted side whilst your powerful glute muscles may be underused and deconditioned! In this video we explore a routine we have had a lot of success with to help restore balance to the muscles of the hips and lower back and improve function in this area. Hope it helps!

04.01.2022 Workout of the week Choose your level of challenge by adjusting the time per exercise or number of rounds! Remember, form is always the number one priority. Move through these exercise with control and precision for best results!

02.01.2022 Great to see the dogs of social media invade our online group trainings today! Didnt stop Sara, Emily and Josh getting through their session

02.01.2022 ‘The Donkey Clam’ A variation of the much loved ‘clam shell’ that will help you get more benefit out of the exercise. Quite often when performing the standard clam shell we unintentionally rock out hips backwards which engages incorrect muscle groups and takes away from the purpose of the exercise, which is to strengthen and stabilise the glutes.... In the version Ryan demonstrates, ‘the Donkey Clam’, we use the wall as a stability post to ensure our hips stay in alignment and more effectively target those desired areas of the glute medius and glute maximus.

02.01.2022 Happy Mothers Day to our clients and family! We hope you had a special day
