23.01.2022 Do you FOAM ROLL? FOAM ROLLING is SUCH an important, but often underrated tool! Foam rolling has countless benefits, such as:... improved flexibility better muscle recovery relaxation & stress relief increased movement efficiency ...and the list goes on! Foam rolling is a massage technique that will relax tight muscles, therefore allowing other muscles to work more efficiently - and in the long run prevent injury Here's how you do it right: Place your foam roller on a muscle/area that feels tight or sore. Carefully roll back and forth until you find a tense spot Hold there for roughly 30 seconds or until you feel the tension decrease Make sure you DON'T put pressure on your nerves or joints! For best results, foam roll before and after your workout Instead of a foam roller, you can use a tennis ball, massage ball or stick, medicine ball..anything that will allow for the right pressure while being safe. I always feel SO much better after a good foam rolling session. It really works your muscles like a massage If foam rolling isn't part of your regular routine yet, give it a try! And when you do, let me know

10.01.2022 LEG WORKOUT - Save it and try it for yourself. Many of my clients, especially veterans, who have knee or lower body injuries can't do back squats. But, that doesn't mean you can't get a good leg workout in. Try the below for three sets of 10 and let me know how you go. Start with light weights the first time you give it a try and then gradually go heavier each week.... Hack squat Incline leg press Leg extensions Hamstring curls Lying single leg hamstring curls Calf raises (you can do weighted or just use your body weight) If you have any pre-existing injuries or health conditions then make sure your check with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist or your GP before starting any new exercises.

09.01.2022 ~ STRETCHING ~ Stretching your muscles regularly helps prevent injuries, back pain or balance problems. Stretching will give you more range of motion to be able to carry out every day activities without restrictions in mobility plus benefiting the longevity of your life! The most common forms of stretches are static and dynamic:... Static stretches involve holding a stretch in a comfortable position for a period of time, typically between 10 and 30 seconds. This form of stretching is most beneficial after you exercise. Dynamic stretches are active movements that cause your muscles to stretch, but the stretch is not held in the end position. These stretches are usually done before exercise to get your muscles ready for movement. Tips: Use dynamic stretches before exercise to prepare your muscles. Use static stretches after exercise to reduce your risk for injury. How often do you stretch before or after you exercise?

08.01.2022 Meet Pete Pete is one of my clients and I've been helping him to build up strength back in his calf. Pete has lost some range of motion in his calf and has some muscle atrophy (loss of muscle tissue). Instead of dwelling on what Pete can't do, we've been focussing on what he can do. He's been steadily increasing strength in his calf which is making it easier for him to carry out every day activities.... Pete turns up to every session with a can-do attitude and he's always willing to try whatever exercises I have planned for him. He is determined and committed to his training. He's showed plenty of grit when faced with challenges and is making great progress. He has made me a very proud EP. Well done Pete and keep up the great work

03.01.2022 Swiss Ball Over Head Leg Lifts - a great exercise to build core strength. Here’s how you do it right: Lie face up with your legs straight and Swiss ball between ankles. Lift legs off the ground bring arms up to grap ball, then lower legs making sure your abs are engaged, squeezing the ball with your inner thigh muscles. ... Keep your belly button pushed into the ground. Focus on your breathing. Make sure your spine doesn’t come off the ground if it does adjust how far the ball goes down. If this is still difficult takeaway the arms and just focus on the lower leg lift. Feel the burn If you need some help or unsure how to do it just ask me I’m more then happy to help! Try doing 10-15 reps x 3 sets Happy Training

03.01.2022 I was very excited to be asked to host an event for Veterans Health Week. Social connection was this years theme so I thought why not socially connect over a low impact stretching class followed by a social catch enjoying some delicious healthy food Repost: Appreciation Feedback @women_veterans_network_aus ... Heidi - one of our veterans held a wonderful session for the Townsville Ladies - It was wonderful to have an EP understand firstly our mindset but our limitations. The session was based on some low-level strengthening exercises. Heidi has so much patience that made for a very calming session. For a Friday feeling very frazzled myself, it truly was a moment to do some self-love and care - much needed. Thanks, Heidi for supporting the WVNA and we hope that we can do more with you next year. Anyone who is looking for an EP - you can get in contact with Heidi through her Facebook page.
