Great day for a Santa 🏃‍♀️ 🎅🏼 Ever Great day for a Santa 🏃‍♀️ 🎅🏼 Every Year I have the privilege of warm up a big bunch of Santa’s for the annual Santa run. Times have been a little troubling over the last year or 2 so it is great to see so many people enjoying the holiday season. A huge thanks you to @raceharborough for organising this every year. #santarun #christmas # run #race #funrun #warmup #marketharborough #personaltrainer #personaltraining #coach #2021 #fit #fitness #fitfam
Something that people often get wrong is step ups. Something that people often get wrong is step ups. It is such a simple concept but people find it hard to grasp. Put the sound on for this as I talk about some of the mistakes I see and also how to nail step ups to hit your legs and glutes effectively. #gym #legday #legs #glutes #personaltrainer #personaltraining #exercise #fittips #stepups #coach #coaching #fit #fitness #legworkout #marketharborough
There seems to be a craze in the fitness industry. There seems to be a craze in the fitness industry. It’s the hip band…. Apparently, people seem to think that if you add in a hip band on the legs it makes any exercise a ‘booty builder’ Well, it doesn’t. Flutes are built in doing hip extension in the sagittal plane and NOT adding a band. Hip bands are for external cues teaches you to keep the legs in the best position to help optimise the glute engagement. The problem is, that hip bands and fashionable, and influencer certified. Almost every video you see aimed at exercises to help build glute muscles will have a band in. The truth is not glamorous which is why no body wants to believe it. Do exercises such as hip thrusts, hip bridges, squats and deadlift variations and other exercises which have hip extension if you really want to build your booty. Not side walks and clams. #glutes #hipband #squat #thrust #gym #workout #fittips #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitfam #fit #personaltraining #personaltrainer
So today was very much deadlift focussed. Needed So today was very much deadlift focussed. Needed to get my Sumo feeling comfortable. Fist some parallel box squat with light band and for a bit of concentric speed. Then some block pulls working up to a solid weight whiskers feeling good. Finally some sumo block pulls starting where I struggle to lock out in the deadlift. Working your lifts around the point that you fail at really helps you to get past that sticking point and strengthens the muscles in that section of your lifts. For me it is my lockout. This was all I did. Now to recover and get ready for Benchpress day. #gym #deadlift #conjugate #powerlift #powerlifting #deadlifting #strong #strength #squat #squatting #personaltrainer #personaltraining #coach #coaching
So another day and another training session filmed So another day and another training session filmed. This was Fridays heavy upper body day. 📍3 count Tempo bench with chains 📍1 set of Ultra close grip to failure 1/2 previous weight plus chain (no video) 📍Pendlay Rows 📍Chest supported Row with chain- palms up 📍over head extension ➡️ Band pull-apart Notice how there is a lot of back work? Doing this creates the base of the pyramid where strength can be built from. It also helps keep those shoulders fit and healthy. #gym #benchpress #coaching #healthy #strong #marketharborough #personaltraining #back #chestday #chestworkout #backworkout #powerlifting
I have been asked to post some of my workouts. So I have been asked to post some of my workouts. So here is one of the light lower body days. Focus on technique and practice movements rather than lots of weight. I only managed 3 exercises until my phone ran out of memory on the reverse hyper so you only have 3 things. Nothing special today just simple things. I also did some high rep hamstring curls and hip abduction after what you can see. #gym #legday #speedday #deadlifts #squats #squatting #deadlifting #strong #strengthtraining #specifixtraining #coach #coaching #personaltraining #personaltrainerlife
Regulating Fatigue One of the MOST UNDERRATED asp Regulating Fatigue One of the MOST UNDERRATED aspects of any training program is fatigue regulation. As you can see I hit a weight that was way harder than it should have been. This means I am still fatigued from last weeks equipped squat session (it does wipe me out for a week and a bit)! So I adjusted the load and exercises to make the session much more beneficial. I had been feeling sluggish and fatigued all day so I need to emphasise recovery this week. Always remember recovery is just as (if not more) important than training hard. Progress will Not always be linear and go in a straight line it will zig zag up and down. So if the workout isn’t going how it should, adjust, and recover so that next week it can be better. #recovery #gym #squat #conjugate #powerlifting #coach #coaching #recover #programming #onlinecoaching #personaltrainer #bdfpa #boxsquat #fit #fitness #gymmotivation #strongman #steong #strongwoman #squatting #squattips #tip #fittips #squatbooty

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!! May the 4th be with you 🙏 #starwars #may4th #happy #galaxyfarfaraway
Using bands is such a great way of increasing resi Using bands is such a great way of increasing resistance on top of barbells and Dumbells, and even great for being used on their own. The biggest issue I see is how to fix them to a rack, pole or any object you wanted. Simply using a choke is the solution. There are other ways but this is how I fit them on a regular basis. #bands #gym #homegym #workout #personaltraining #solutions #bandedworkout #bandedexercises #fit #fitness #fitfam #snapfitness #coach #fittips
Let’s talk recovery!! In its simple form, it is Let’s talk recovery!! In its simple form, it is how you body attempts to return its self back to “normal” something known as homeostasis. That’s it. More notably for most people it is about feeling good, less sore and able to workout again effectively and hopefully at an improvement rate I.e more weight/reps. Recovery gets over complicated for too often. Things people do because they think they need to to optimally recover: 🚫Buy expensive Compression clothing 🚫Pay for expensive massage treatments 🚫Cupping/Massage guns 🚫Buy expensive (and often pointless) teas and shakes etc Don’t get me wrong, All of the above can help improve recovery to a point. But these are all secondary. Unless you are an elite athlete and already mastering the fundamentals these do not need to be attempted. Make your recovery actually count. What you should be doing: ✅ Get quality sleep ✅ Eat enough protein ✅Drink plenty of water ✅ Eat enough FOOD ✅ Be active- mobility/foam rolling Master these first. Get them built in as habits then you can look at the extra stuff. Don’t make things more complex than they need to be. #recovery #exercise #sport #gym #homeworkout #strength #strong #athlete #athletic #fit #fitness #fittips #performance #conditioning #fitfam #personaltrainer #personaltraining
Make your lateral raises better. Keep the load on Make your lateral raises better. Keep the load on your shoulders and off your traps. Try not to restrict shoulder blade movement but rather direct the arm ‘outwards’ rather than ‘upwards’ Very simple but super effective.
