Cardio session today!

My week:
3 strength and power sessions
2 conditioning/cardio sessions sounds “technical” but very simple!!
Thank you so much .projectyou

Good to do cardio too but it should not be your only exercise…especially as we age.

Never too young or too old to start, and age no excuse to stop, so if you haven’t already started then give weights and training a try!

And if you have already started that’s great!

Remember age is no excuse for not lifting weights or for “skimping” with your weights sessions so lift what you can…preferably with a structured plan.

Weights and training makes you feel good😊💪🏽

✨Are you working what you think you are working?! 💪🏽

✨How you do your exercises is vital to the outcome!

✨Test this out yourself and feel the difference!

✨This movement pattern is seen all the time in the gym/ in classes/with PTs and with coaches.

✨If you are leaning on your legs doing your lunges you are NOT working your glutes and leg muscles as much as you think.

✨By keeping your hands OFF your legs, this moves the emphasis to your glutes and legs therefore working the muscles you want to work and not the “cheat “ muscles.

Progression is progression in your sessions whether it is 1kg or 5kg, moving more body weight or an extra rep in a set!

It is all progress towards your goals and you should be pleased with that!

If you are not progressing your exercises, you will not progress!

Be as strong as you can be for muscle health, bone health,overall health, mental health!

Lifting weights just makes you overall feel good! .projectyou

If you are doing planks to work your “core” and your planks look like one of the first 2 examples, then you are “cheating” yourself as your upper body is working more than your core.

Try and do them as in the 3rd example ✅and see if you can feel the difference and feel your abs working more!

Stop doing your deadlifts like this!

Client: “I don’t do deadlifts because they hurt my back”

Is this you?

Deadlifts should not cause back pain.

If this is you, correct your low back and your neck positions so they are in neutral positions and not in hyperextension.

This should resolve your back pain and allow you to deadlift painfree!
