Hi, our friends True Potential Training are looking for people to trial their brand new over 50 class!

This would be a great way to help manage and prevent injuries, as well as provide joint support, increase bone density and decrease the chances of falls down the track.

Mike and the True Potential team are very experienced and caring fitness professionals who are great at making sure you feel safe and confident whilst in the gym 💪

**********************

🚨Asking for help🚨

We are trialling a new program aimed at 50+ who are new to training or have injuries where they'd require more scaling, time/attention than we'd be able to supply in a standard group session.

True Potential Training's tagline is "Training for life" for a reason. Whether it's breaking new ground/ hitting personal bests or getting back to being healthy. This is the work we strive for throughout our kids/teens sessions, our NDIS supported work and our group sessions. 🏋️‍♀️

So it only makes sense to help those who think they might be "passed it" or "gyms aren't for them". I LOVE seeing people achieve things, they never thought they could!! 🤩

So I'm asking if you have a family member or a friend who fits this category to send me a message or comment below. 📝

We are looking for 4-6 people for a free 2 week trial, (2 sessions per week) working on the basics of modified bodyweight, core and kettlebell/DB movements and light conditioning.

The time of these sessions will be around lunchtime (exact time TBA).

If there's anyone that you think could "maybe" benefit, please let me know. I'm happy to have a chat to you, to see if we can help them!

I'm pretty excited by this program, I believe we can help an entire new demographic of people, with their True Potential 🙌💪

Thank you 🙏

🛠️💪 Fixing Banded External Rotation for Rehab! 💪🛠️

Optimizing your banded external rotation exercises for rehab is crucial for shoulder stability and strength. 🏋️‍♂️ It's a common exercise prescribed for shoulder injuries and unfortunately, it's not always done as well as it could be.
Here are some key tips:

1. Add a Towel: Placing a towel under your arm helps maintain proper form and ensures you're targeting the right muscles.
2. Avoid Over-Rotation:
It's important not to push too far! Keep your movements controlled and within a comfortable range to prevent injury.
3. Lock your shoulder down and back:
This will place your arm in a more optimal position to complete the exercise.

Check out the video to see these adjustments in action and take your rehab to the next level! Let me know your thoughts and if you have any questions.

Stay strong and healthy! 💪
