15.01.2022 Glute Activation before exercise! Whether your hitting the gym or going for a run, we highly recommend activating your glutes before hand. 1 minute on each of these exercises below and you will be in a much better position to maximise the efficiency of your workout. Activation helps to get your muscles switched on and prepared for the upcoming exercise. Given the glutes (Glutes Maximus and Medius) play a major role in both movement and stabilisation its best to prepare th...em for the exercise ahead! Glute Bridges: -Place band just above the knees -Feet shoulder width apart and heels close to the hips -Push out against the band so knees are shoulder width apart -Raise hips as high as possible, in this top position squeeze glutes as hard as possible -Slowly lower the body and repeat Side Leg Raises: -Lay on your side with knees slightly bent and one leg stacked on the other -Slowly raise the top leg, maintaining a slight bend in the knee -Ensure torso is slightly rolled forward throughout -Repeat on both sides for an equal amount of time or reps Happy Training!

04.01.2022 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.
