23.01.2022 Understand that regardless of your goals, progress towards your goals will not be a linear process! . You will go through ups and downs, however, the main thing is that you keep showing up! . Regardless of what obstacles you face, remain consistent, often the difference between those who achieve their goals and those who don’t, is just continuing to show up! Even when it’s hard and you don’t feel like it!... . #strengthtraining #strength #strengthandconditioning #strengthandconditioningcoach #training #gym #gymmotivation #strengthcoach #gymmotivation #motivation #progress #linear #messy #nonlinear #coach #canberra #canberragym #canberralife #canberralocals #realfitt #realfittgym See more

19.01.2022 Understand why you’re doing each exercise! Then, make sure the exercise is actually doing what you want it to do! . E.g. if you’re doing clams or lateral band walks, as part of your pre workout activation, to get the glutes going, but you’re not feeling it in your glutes and all you’re doing is firing up TFL, then this defeats the whole purpose of doing the exercise! . E.g. if you’re doing RDL’s, the whole purpose is to strengthen the posterior chain, specifically the hamstri...ngs and glutes. However, if you don’t feel it in your hamstrings and all you feel is your lower back, once again this defeats the purpose of doing the exercise! . Quite often if you’re not feeling it in the intended muscle groups, this means that your technique might need addressing. However, for various reasons, some exercises just aren’t right for certain people! Ensure your technique is on point, but if you still don’t get the intended training effect, another exercise/variation may be required to get the training effect you’re after! The specific exercise/variation doesn’t always matter, as long as it’s achieving the training effect you’re after! . Understand why you do each exercise and ensure it’s actually doing what it’s meant to do! . #strength #strengthtraining #strengthcoach #strengthandconditioning #strengthandconditioningcoach #strong #training #gym #athletedevelopment #athlete #athletes #sport #sports #gymmotivation #intent #canberra #canberragym #canberralife #canberralocals #realfitt #realfittgym See more

15.01.2022 Whether it be walking, standing up from a chair or sprinting, every movement you make with your body is an expression of strength. If your body is stronger, it’s going to be able to better cope with the stresses that come with the movements you make. . Everyone can benefit from being stronger. Whether you’re an athlete, who wants to decrease the likelihood of injury and improve athletic performance, or you’re someone that wants to be able to walk up stairs easier, or wants to... be able to keep up with your kids... Getting stronger will help. . Strength training is for everyone. . #strengthtraining #strength #strengthandconditioning #strengthandconditioningcoach #strong #strongwomen #strongmen #getstronger #livelonger #qualityoflife #injuryprevention #athleticperformance #athleticability #realfitt #realfittgym #canberragym #canberra #canberralife #visitcanberra #canberralocals #strengthcoach #training #gym #gymmotivation #trainingmotivation See more

12.01.2022 #askjoe - One of the RealFITT owners/directors, Joe Matthews, answers your questions! If you have any questions, send them through! Q: At what weight, should I put my belt on? A: If you’re doing any of the major compound movements like the squat, the deadlift, overhead press or any of the weightlifting variants, for your strength training, then it’s a good idea to put a belt on once the weight gets heavy for you. What’s heavy for each person is relatively subjective and so it...’s important that you understand what heavy is for you and be smart about using the belt as you approach heavier loads. As a general guide you may want to consider using your belt once loads exceed 70% of your maximum one repetition for the chosen lift. This goes for multiple rep sets as well as single rep sets.

03.01.2022 When you squat (regardless of the variation), you want to maintain even pressure through three points of contact with the ground, with each foot, at all times, hence the term tripod foot. These three points of contact are your heel, the base of your big toe and the base of your small toe (as highlighted in the image). Keep your weight evenly distributed through these three points of contact at all times, to allow for maximum force production! . #strengthtraining #strength #strengthandconditioning #strengthandconditioningcoach #strong #strengthcoach #squat #squats #squattechnique #technique #squatting #backsquat #frontsquat #liftweights #barbell #canberra #canberragym #canberralife #canberralocals #realfitt #realfittgym

03.01.2022 #askjoe - One of the RealFITT owners/directors, Joe Matthews, answers your questions. If you have any questions, send them through. Q: Does strength training help with weight loss? A: I will preface this by saying that diet is the most important factor, when it comes to weight loss. For this answer, I’m just going to talk about training.... I think it's best to quickly pre-frame this answer with some context... Anyone engaging in strength training shouldn't rely on it solely as a means to lose weight, but rather as an important ingredient in a balanced program that helps you increase lean muscle mass and reduce your body fat percentage. This program could include both cardiovascular (aerobic), and anaerobic training on a weekly basis. This combination can be a super healthy way to get great results both physically and psychologically, it also has enough variety to keep you interested and motivated long term. This moves you towards a lifestyle change and longevity rather than a 'quick fix' mindset. In saying that, the short answer is yes, strength training certainly can help you lose weight. When programmed correctly it will help you to increase lean muscle mass which in turn requires more caloric expenditure, this can mean an increase in metabolism. Whilst there are many variables that contribute to your metabolism, many that are genetic in nature, strength training certainly can help pick it up. Strength training's major benefits though, are not seeded just in metabolic changes but more so in what else it can do for you. Some of these benefits can include: Getting stronger - means you can train harder, utilise more calories and increase EPOC (post exercise oxygen consumption). Whilst generally not major in its energy usage increases, every little bit counts. It also means improved bone health and stronger muscles. Improves performance - means you can be more athletic and engage in a larger variety of physically challenging activities Joint strength - means improved stability and joint resilience Sense of achievement - means improved mood, psychological resilience, and satisfaction of effort Reduction in age associated loss of muscle mass The list could go on, but we've covered some of the main ones here. In summary, whilst strength training can help you lose weight and certainly has many, many benefits outside of weight loss, you should consider using it as part of a balanced program that also ensures you have a healthy heart and lungs to use those muscles you've built from strength training more effectively!

02.01.2022 First upper, now lower! . Lower crossed syndrome results from the lifestyles we live. Most people spend the majority of their day sitting down. Our bodies then adapt to this and our posture changes! . As a result of spending too much time sitting, our hip flexors (muscles at the front of the hip), become chronically shortened/tight, as do our lower back muscles! Both of these muscle groups then pull on the hips, the hip flexors pull the hips down from the front and the lower ...back muscles pull the hips up from the back, resulting in the hips being tilted out of their neutral alignment! Overtime, this generally results in the glutes and lower abdominal muscles becoming weak. . This can result in any number of problems, if nothing is done about it. The most common being, lower back pain and inflamed/irritated TFL/hip issues. It goes without saying, that this negatively impacts everyday life, as well as athletic performance/training in the gym. How do we begin to reverse these changes? . Stretch/lengthen the hip flexors. Strengthen the glutes and lower abdominals/obliques. Move more! . The only way to see real changes is to make lifestyle changes, try to spend less time sitting and make hip mobility/glute activation a regular part of your life/training, where you can! The best thing you can do is just generally move more!!! . #strengthandconditioning #strengthandconditioningcoach #strength #strengthtraining #lowercrossedsyndrome #glutes #gluteactivation #tfl #lowerbackpain #abdominal #abs #core #posture #athlete #athletes #athletedevelopment #performancecoach #canberra #canberragym #canberralife #canberralocals #realfitt #realfittgym See more
