💪 Technique Tuesday: Superman for a Super Back 🦸‍♂️

It’s Technique Tuesday — and today we’re keeping it simple, effective, and spine-safe with the Superman Hold 🦸‍♀️

👨‍⚕️ As a Clinical Exercise Physiologist, I recommend this bodyweight exercise to activate and strengthen the lower back, glutes, and deep spinal stabilisers — especially for those who sit all day or experience lower back discomfort.

🧠 Why it works:
The Superman Hold trains your erector spinae muscles, improves postural endurance, and supports a healthier spine — all without any equipment.

📋 How to do it right:
1️⃣ Lie face down on the floor with arms extended overhead
2️⃣ Brace your core, squeeze your glutes, and slowly lift your arms, chest, and legs off the ground
3️⃣ Hold the top position for 10–30 seconds
4️⃣ Lower with control and repeat for 3–4 rounds

✅ Clinical Tip: Don’t overextend or jerk the movement — slow and controlled wins the race (and protects your spine).

Add this to your daily routine to support better posture and back resilience!

🎯 Want to get stronger, faster, and more resilient? Time to embrace the eccentric side of training. 💥

Eccentric training — where your muscles resist as they lengthen (think lowering a squat or descending stairs) — packs a serious punch when it comes to:
✅ Building real strength
✅ Promoting muscle growth
✅ Preventing injury
✅ Supporting rehab and healthy ageing

💡 Science says it creates more force with less effort and rewires your tendons and muscles to handle heavier loads. It’s used by elite athletes and in physio rehab alike!

👟 Try this:
Take 3–5 seconds to lower in your next squat, lunge, or bench press. Your muscles will thank you later (after the DOMS 😉).

⚠️ Go slow, recover well, and let this underrated training method take your performance to the next level!

🔥 Technique Tuesday: Kettlebell Swings for Shredding Belly Fat 🔥
Ready to torch calories, build power, and flatten that tummy? Mastering the kettlebell swing is your game-changer.

💥 Here’s your step-by-step guide:

1️⃣ Start Position:
Feet shoulder-width apart, kettlebell on the ground slightly in front of you.

2️⃣ Grip & Hinge:
Bend at the hips (not the knees), grab the handle, and load your glutes like a spring.

3️⃣ Hike It Back:
Swing the kettlebell back between your legs like a football hike.

4️⃣ Explosive Hips:
Drive through your hips (not your arms!) to swing the bell to chest height.

5️⃣ Float & Reset:
Let the kettlebell float, then guide it back into the hinge. Keep your core braced.

🔁 Do 3 rounds of 30 seconds on, 30 seconds rest.

💡 Pro Tip: This is a hip hinge, not a squat. Power comes from your posterior chain – glutes + hamstrings!

👊 A few swings a day = serious calorie burn + a strong core.

💪 Are You Getting Enough Protein?
Your protein needs change with every life stage—from toddlers to teens, adults to ageing bodies, and even through pregnancy or recovery.

🍼 Kids need it for growth.
🏃 Teens and athletes need more for development and repair.
👩‍🦳 Older adults need more, not less, to prevent muscle loss.
🤰 Pregnancy and breastfeeding increase daily demands.

✅ General tips:
✔️ Aim for 25–30g of protein per main meal
✔️ Distribute intake evenly across the day
✔️ Focus on high-quality sources (eggs, lean meat, dairy, soy)
✔️ Pair with resistance training for best results

🌱 Vegans? You can still hit your goals—just plan for variety and a little extra.
📈 Protein = Power, Performance & Prevention.

🕐 Morning or Evening? The Best Time to Work Out Might Depend on You!

Exercise is always good — but when you do it can change the game.

📈 Performance Peaks: Your strength and speed tend to be better in the late afternoon or evening due to circadian rhythms.
🧬 Metabolic Boost: Evening workouts may improve glucose control and lower blood pressure more effectively — especially for people with type 2 diabetes or hypertension.
🧠 Mind Matters: Morning people thrive with early workouts. Night owls? You’re better off training later.
👤 Chronotype Counts: Know your rhythm. Are you a morning lark or a night owl? Align your training for better results.

🚨 But here’s the golden rule: The best time to exercise is the time you’ll stick to. Consistency trumps clock-watching.

💪 Omega-3s: Not Just for Your Heart, But for Your Muscles Too! 🐟

New research shows that omega-3 fatty acids (like EPA & DHA) aren’t just heart-healthy—they’re muscle-friendly too!

✅ Boost muscle protein synthesis
✅ Reduce soreness and inflammation
✅ Help preserve strength during injury or disuse
✅ Improve training results in older adults

Whether you’re recovering from exercise, injury, or just trying to maintain strength as you age, 2–4g of omega-3s daily could be a game changer. Think salmon, sardines… or a high-quality supplement.

Muscles love omega-3s. Feed them well. 💥

🧠 Fat Mass vs. Lean Mass 💪
It’s not just about what you weigh — it’s about what you’re made of.

📉 Excess fat mass, especially around your organs (aka visceral fat), is linked to higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and early death.
📈 But lean mass — your muscles, bones, and organs — protects you as you age. It supports strength, mobility, and even brain function!

👴🏽👵🏼 As we get older, we naturally lose muscle (a condition called sarcopenia) — but this muscle is crucial for longevity.

✨ That’s where DEXA comes in. It’s the gold-standard scan that tells you the truth about your body composition — not just your weight or BMI.
✅ It shows if you’re TOFI (Thin Outside, Fat Inside)
✅ It tracks muscle gains and fat loss
✅ It identifies dangerous visceral fat

💥 Want to live longer and feel stronger?
Stop focusing on weight. Start focusing on body composition.
📊 Book a DEXA scan and make informed decisions for your health and future.
