Funday Friday Top Tips💪🏼

If you are struggling to do full press ups then incline press ups are a great stepping stone to help you get there. The movement is exactly the same however being higher off the floor puts less weight in your upper body and therefore makes it easier to perform.

Set your core first: Brace your core and keep a straight line from head to heels — no dipping hips or arching.

Hand + elbow position: As you lower, aim for your elbows to track at roughly 45° — not flared out wide, not tucked tight to your ribs.

Control the descent: Lower your chest toward the bar/box with slow, steady tension.

Shoulder position matters: Don’t collapse forward or let the shoulders “roll” toward your ears. Actively pull your shoulder blades together and down as you descend.

Load the muscles not the joints: Keep the front of the shoulders stable so the load stays in your pecs and triceps and doesn't dump into your shoulder joint.

Drive strong: Push the bar/box away with power, keeping your body in one solid plank as you press back to the top.

As you get stronger you can then lower the bar until you are eventually able to do one from the floor.

If you need advice or help with your training, I offer 1-2-1 coaching in person which you can find more info on here: https://www.yogawithannauk.com/personal-training

A look back at last week when our Over-60’s crew crushed their single-arm landmine presses!💪🏼🏋🏼‍♀️

Unilateral strength work like this helps correct muscle imbalances, helps to stabilise the shoulder, and builds real-life functional strength; all incredibly important as we age. Strength training keeps bones strong, supports joint health, reduces fall risk, and helps you stay active, confident, and independent for longer🙌

So proud of this team for proving every week that age is just a number when you stay consistent and train smart!

Want to get stronger, feel better, and have fun doing it?
Join us Tuesdays & Thursdays, 12–1pm at Achieve Functional Fitness.

Come be part of the strongest Over-60 community around!

How to properly engage your core💪🏼

Having good ‘Abs’ is something a lot of people obsess over however, we all have 6 pack muscles, if they are visible it simply means you have a very low body fat percentage. Core stability on the other hand is the use of your core muscles (which includes your re**us abdominals, external obliques, internal obliques, transverse abdominals & erector spinae) to stabilise your spine and pelvis, protect your organs, keep you up right, and aid in explosive movements like sprinting or jumping.

A lot of ‘ab’ exercises only work your 6 pack muscles (re**us abdominals) and ignore all the others meaning you can have a 6 pack but, not be able to stabilise your spine whilst running, squatting or jumping, which poses quite the problem when training.

So how do we engage our core to help stabilise and support our training? Check out the video below to find out.

If you do try it let me know how you get on and if you have any questions just pop me a comment down below. If you need more advice, and want to know how to train efficiently and effectively with exercises like this, then pop me a message as I have 1-2-1 coaching slots available both online and in person📩
