25.01.2022 While we navigate through challenging times, weve needed to adapt quickly, especially in the way of delivering our services online. For this to happen though, weve needed the support of our clients, who in such a trying time, every single one of them have continued to keep up their training whether it be online or by training outdoors. For this, we are eternally grateful. The way our clients as well as the wider community have supported local businesses has been heart w...arming to see. Now back to the task at hand - maintaining physical activity and keeping up our health through times of self isolation and quarantine! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your continued support @jrstewart @keen.physique @mattykeen_ See more

25.01.2022 In our programming, we often include a conditioning portion for each training session - specifically a higher intensity circuit using bigger compound exercises with short rest periods so your heart is racing, and youre burning calories! Heres James with a finisher weve programmed lately: Complete the following exercises without dropping the bar on the ground:... 3x Hang cleans 3x Front squats 3x Push press Complete either a specific # of rounds or aim to finish as many rounds as you can within a specific time frame (ie 10min) Want to experience our training style? The first session is on us. [email protected] See more

21.01.2022 With everything that is going on in the world at the moment surrounding Coronavirus, heres a friendly reminder that in addition to all the recommended precautions provided by leading health organisations, moderate exercise and balanced nutrition can enhance your immune system. So continue to move, eat well, and be hygienic!

20.01.2022 One of our favourite front squat variations is the offset squat - with the weight on one side it makes for a greater stability challenge of the core whilst still working your legs and glutes. Try this during your next circuit! Photo by @vega.physique. Serious face by @jrstewart. Come train with us - first session is on us. [email protected] for more.

19.01.2022 Try this variation of a single leg Romanian deadlift (RDL) the next time you are focusing on your hamstrings. Its a good regression from the traditional single leg RDL for those who struggle with the balancing aspect. Set up in a stance roughly hip width apart, take a small step forward and hinge at the hips, maintaining a slight arch in the back with a slight bend in the knee, and push your bum back as far as you can while you tilt forward. From here you should feel a de...cent stretch through your hamstring in the front leg. Its also a good way to add more resistance without needing to worry about your balance, while still getting the same tension through your hamstrings. Video ft.

19.01.2022 Core stability is defined as the capacity of the muscles of the torso to assist in the maintenance of good posture, balance, etc., especially during movement. In short, it is important to be able to keep your core region stable while moving elsewhere. Without that, activities of all kind (including day to day, athletic performance) can be compromised. This exercise is a good challenge with the above in mind - performing a single arm row while maintaining a side plan...k. If normal side planks are too easy, give this a try! Try it for either a set number of reps or a specific time. @vega.physique See more

18.01.2022 JS-PT coaches @jrstewart (who was pretty stoked) and @vega.physique having fun with some single leg balance drills which were featured in our programming recently! Wanting to mix up your training? DM if you have any questions, and wed be happy to help.

18.01.2022 An example of a more bang for your buck type exercise when training at home - combining a reverse lunge with a single leg Romanian deadlift (RDL). One being a knee dominant movement and the other being a hip dominant movement, youre working through the front and back of the legs, your butt, plus some balance and stability through your foot/ankle. Keep a look out for some home exercise ideas from the team! Online training is well under way, with online group sessions to come in the form of short interval workouts in under 30min.

18.01.2022 Do you have a resistance band at home? Try this: 3-5 rounds of the following exercises (in order of slides): 1. Squat to press 2. Floor chest press ... 3. Deadlift 4. Push up 5. Romanian deadlift (RDL) 6. Split squat to single arm row 30-40sec on each exercise. Note: this is quite tough! Tag someone who needs this

17.01.2022 Improve your muscle recruitment, your balance, your athleticism, and your strength by implementing some unilateral exercises into your routine; these are movements using one limb/side of the body at a time. This is JS-PT client Chelsea performing a single leg negative box squat - meaning she is controlling the lowering portion of the squat here. Incorporating single leg squats for Chelsea has helped us identify imbalances and asymmetries, as well as improve her overall ...balance and strength. Speaking of strength, single leg squats are good for strengthening some of the smaller stabilising muscles in the pelvis and hips. They are also friendly on your lower back as you dont need to load up on weight so much. Have any questions? DM us! See more

16.01.2022 Tight hamstrings? Try incorporating this drill as shown by our trainer Matt (@vega.physique ) during your warm up to target your hamstrings from a few different angles, and post workout try this assisted stretch with a band or towel whilst laying on the ground. During the stretch, be sure to keep your lower back flat to the ground, and pull your foot back until you feel the stretch through your hamstrings. Hold for at least 30 seconds. ...

16.01.2022 Do your weekend plans include a hike as picturesque as this? This stunning snap was from our trainer @vega.physique on his recent adventure to Cairns! Repost from @vega.physique : I cant think of many exercises with a list of benefits as diverse a good old bushwalk. In addition to increasing cardiovascular fitness, and strengthening the core and lower limbs; getting out into Mother Nature decreases stress, boosts creativity, and its FREEEEE!... See more

15.01.2022 Why do we like bear crawls? A versatile exercise, we often use bear crawls throughout warm ups, throughout the session in circuits and as a conditioning tool at the end of a session. It takes coordination, and challenges your core to keep you stable. Tag your training partner and give them a go during your next session!...

15.01.2022 Kettlebells are versatile pieces of equipment suitable for a variety of training styles including both strength and cardio, whilst also assisting in improving balance, coordination, and power. In the case of the above video, James is performing the kettlebell windmill exercise - a complex exercise which requires and improves stability and mobility across the body, as well helping to increase the strength and stability of the shoulder. Many exercises you see performed... in a gym are usually in a specific plane of movement (only moving forwards and backwards, up and down), so incorporating an exercise such as the kettlebell windmill is a good way to add some slight rotational training into your sessions to help you move more efficiently.

15.01.2022 In this fast moving situation JS-PT will adapt, as will many businesses around the world. As primarily a personal training business, the improvement of our clients overall health through the form of increased physical activity and decreased sedentary behaviour is the cornerstone of what we do. As Chen et al. wrote in a recent peer reviewed journal - Home stay is a fundamental safety step that can limit infections from spreading widely. But prolonged home stays can incre...ase behaviours that lead to inactivity and contribute to anxiety and depression, which in turn can lead to a sedentary lifestyle known to result in a range of chronic health conditions. We will be introducing online training this week as a way for our clients to continue to keep active as well as remaining socially engaged. We will also be doing online group HIIT sessions so people can log on and be taken through a quick session while at home. This is unchartered territory for us but something we are very excited to start. Keep a look out for the home exercise content from the JS-PT team! @ Brisbane, Queensland, Australia See more

15.01.2022 Try this oblique leg raise exercise during your next session. Stolen from a client of mine whos physiotherapist prescribed this exercise in her Pilates class, Ive since been using it for myself and for many of our clients.

14.01.2022 This past month we sat down with Australian Olympic Physio Myles Burfield to speak about running, and in particular strength, stretching and mobility - is static stretching beneficial for performance and flexibility? How important is strength training? When should you prioritise one or the other? Check our chat on the blog. Link in bio. [email protected]

14.01.2022 Thanks to the The Urban List for featuring our head trainer James. We are very proud to have been featured on this over the last few years! #urbanlisted

14.01.2022 Following on from our Common Push Up mistakes video from last week, here are some push up variations for both a beginner and advanced level. Side note: an upper body push exercise doesnt need to be limited to just bench presses and overhead presses - the push up and its number of variations shouldnt be neglected! In order of the video above: 1. Incline push up - a regression for those still trying to master the push up. Start higher and work your way down until you ...can do it from the ground. 2. Rings push up - same as above except on rings. Note Matt is standing higher to make this easier. The rings are more shoulder and wrist friendly as you can change the angle of your hands and shoulders as you lower your body. 3. Incline push up - elevated feet will make this much more difficult! 4. Rings push up - the lower position makes this more challenging to remain stable whilst controlling the upwards and lowering phase. 5. Renegade push up - a challenging core exercise as you aim to resist rotation while performing a single arm row at the top. Also note how James is going lower at the bottom.

12.01.2022 Shot with and sharing our trainer Mattys (@vega.physique) post on scapula control. BETTER FORM, BETTER FUNCTION Everyday, I see people performing a range of exercises while neglecting the scapula. Weakness of the scapula stabilisers can result in increased stress to the anterior shoulder, compression of the rotator cuff, and decreased shoulder neuromuscular performance. Additionally, weakness can contribute to poor posture and pain.... In this video, I am demonstrating one simple movement known as scapula depressions. The goal is to pull the shoulder blades back and down, all the while keeping arms straight without any elbow flexion. I follow this by incorporating in a pull up. Note how much more range this provides with increased muscle activation. www.js-pt.com.au [email protected] See more

08.01.2022 Your cores ability to resist motion and maintain stability is extremely important for the longevity of your lower back, and with the case of this exercise, the Pallof Press, you are aiming to resist rotation. There are a few variations but try this half kneeling version above. 1. Set up in the half kneel position a few feet away from the anchor point of your cable/band, at a 90 degree angle, and hold the handle to your chest. 2. Push the handle away from your ...chest in a straight line resisting the urge to lean towards the cable. 3. Return your hands to your chest and repeat. Try this for 10-15 reps on each side. Enjoy!

04.01.2022 The Couch Stretch The stretch that most people should be doing - this will help you to lengthen the quads and hip flexors, muscles when tightened can cause back and knee pain, often due to spending too much time in a seated position. Whether at the gym or at home on the couch while Netflix and chilling, this can be done anywhere. Bring your knee as close as you can to the wall/couch/bench, keep your ribs down and not arch your lower back, and contract the glute of th...e back leg. Lean on something if need be.

03.01.2022 Anti rotation Deadbugs - Try this the next time you are doing some core work. The same rules applies as a traditional Deadbug (lower back always in contact with the ground, stomach braced and pulling your belly button in), but with the added anti rotational component. This means you are trying to increase your strength and stability through your core to prevent yourself from rotating. Tag a friend who should try this!... [email protected] See more
