When performing the bent over row, it's so tempting to look up, especially if you are in front of a mirror! This can cause stress to the top of your spine. ⚠️So remember! Eyes 👀 down ⬇️.

“Be the arrow, not the bow” - picked up from / inspired by

When?
Extension during kettlebell swings

What does this mean?
A common error with the kettlebell swing is to hyperextend the spine during the hip extension.

This simple phrase may help your athlete avoid this issue by imagining their body is an arrow, not a bow.

I hope you found this valuable. If so, or tag someone who needs to see it.

One of the best visuals & cue points👌 .

You get the hip hinge right, you can;
✅️ increase weight, ✅️ reduce injury risk & ✅️ make the deadlift effective.

Give this a try 😉.

One of the best 👌 when executed correctly & there are variations you can progress to.. 'Gorilla' KB rows, or double KB bent rows are just examples 👍.

In resistance training we can use multiple grip styles to get the most from our workout & to active different muscles💪🏋‍♂️. The main grips & some example moves:

*Neutral* - e.g. hammer curls
*Pronated* (or overhand grip) - e.g. deadlifts, wide bent rows, BB squats
*Supinated* (or underhand grip) - e.g. BB bent over rows, bicep curls
*Alternated grip* (one overhand, one underhand) - e.g. heavier deadlifts

Go easy on you, even on days you don't achieve everything you wanted. It doesn't matter if you;

👣 didn't make your daily steps
🏋🚴‍♂️🧘‍♀️ only managed half a workout
😋 ate a little more than usual
🛌 took a rest day
🚶‍♀️🌿 Fancied a walk outside instead of your normal workout
🏋️‍♀️ lifted lighter weights

For overall health & well-being, balance, consistency & listening to your body is key 🔑.

Exercise places high demands on the body & whilst consistency is key, overtraining can lead to burnout & injury 😩.

👂Listen to your body & understand rest days are essential. A rest day could still incorporate a casual walk, bike ride, swim, or yoga 🧘‍♂️ etc. ⤵️

10km in the rain 🌧 , no Garmin (grrr...😠 waiting for the replacement), soaking wet, steamed up & wet glasses 🤓, but I'm back with my running buddy 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️& now we are done, I feel chuffed & lifted ☺.

➡️ What helps you with your mental health & well-being? Exercising is a strong & powerful tool to help 💪🧠.

👉 Don't forget the importance of exercise 🏋‍♀️🚴‍♂️🤸‍♀️🧘‍♀️🏌‍♀️🚣🏊‍♀️for the body parts you can't see 👀, like your skeletal structure & bones! 🦴 As we age, everyone needs to consider bone health & preventing (where we can) conditions like osteoporosis.

Putting the bones under stress, particularly with resistance/strength training, can increase bone density & preserve muscle.

So it's a staple for our training methods & has proven great results !👍 Get lifting folks....look after 'dem bones 💪 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♀️
