22.01.2022 MOVEMENT OF THE WEEK Feat. @zoeyhopes DEADLIFTS are one of the most complex foundation movements. It is a fantastic lift that builds power and strength which is also the basis for many other lifts e.g. Power cleans. ... People underestimate the complexity of the exercise and poor form can immediately or over time lead to injury. At The Base we pride ourselves on performing movements correctly and focus on technique before increasing the load or increasing difficulty to a movement. TARGET MUSCLES: Lower body - Glutes and Hamstrings TEACHING CUES: 1. Set your feet up directly under the bar at approximately shoulder width apart (various stance depending on person and abilities) 2. ‘Hinge’ at the hips whilst engaging the core and bend consecutively with the knees to reach for the bar keeping a neutral spine with a strong upper body posture 3. Hold the bar with a pronated grip and set yourself to drive through the heals with the bar close to the shins up to hip extension (not over extension) 4. Once extension is reached, control the bar and lower it to the ground and repeat movements 1-3 whilst holding the bar until reps are completed (sets & rep ranges will depend on your goal). Note: if you experience any pain in the back or other regions this could mean you are doing the movement incorrectly and we suggest seeing your health and fitness professional! WARM UP FOR THE MOVEMENT: Hinges - basically performing the deadlift movement without weight working on the ‘hinge’ movement performing an extension of the hips will help you to get ready for the exercise. Thanks to our girl @zoeyhopes for demonstrating a fantastic deadlift. She has been developing her technique and is seeing some amazing results from performing the movement in the correct way! #deadlifts #healthandfitness #buildingitfromthebase See more

Ps. The kids will not be getting out of burpees either and here is one of our favourite little members getting active!

14.01.2022 MOVEMENT OF THE WEEK Feat. Luke Geiss! BURPEES, another complex movement that people love to avoid but little do people know that this movement has many benefits besides burning the lungs (and the soul) if it is performed correctly!... TARGET MUSCLES AND BENEFITS A lot. Assists with coordination, cardiovascular fitness, core strength/engagement, push motion (push ups etc), ability to control your own body weight, hip mobility and more... TEACHING CUES 1. Place hands (just outside shoulder width or push up position) with palms flat on the ground engaging jump legs out wider than shoulder width apart. 2. Control your entire body (in a plank type position) down to the floor until hips and chest touch and keep your toes in touch with the floor. 3. Drive through your feet and try and keep the width in the legs to jump your feet just outside shoulder width apart to land with feet on the floor with limited bend in the knee. 4. From this position drive up to elevate off the ground with hands behind your head and repeat... PROGRESSIONS There are ways that you can work your way up to a burpee and these are super important as these give you all the correct techniques to perform the final product! - Performing the burpee without chest to floor - Performing the burpee on an elevated surface such as bench - Slowing the burpee down to step in and out to eliminate the jumping movements. If you want to know more about these give us a message or talk to your own qualified fitness professional. WARM UP FOR THE MOVEMENT Chest to floor walkouts - from standing position walk your hands along the floor in a controlled state until chest and hips touch the floor and walk back up. Bear crawls - walking on all fours (opposite hand to leg), controlling hip movement. Hand Release push ups - controlled decline to the floor and as the chest and hips hit the floor release the arms and put them back onto the floor to drive back up ensuring the body is in a plank like position Thanks so much to Luke for helping out! Please don’t be afraid to perform this movement and if you are be sure to come into The Base Health + Well-being and we can help you!

This amazing chick was dedicated, driven and it helped her reach her goals of: INCREASED MUSCLE DECREASED BODY FAT % INCREASED STRENGTH & FITNESS INCREASED HEALTH INCREASED CONFIDENCE Here is what she had to say about the first round and the upcoming challenge...
