Weight training helps prevent and manage osteoporosis by increasing bone density and strength. The stress placed on bones during resistance exercises stimulates bone-forming cells, improving bone mass and reducing the risk of fractures.

Explosive power is important because it helps your body generate force quickly — essential for:

① Better athletic performance (sprinting, jumping, lifting, or changing direction fast)

② Improved muscle strength and coordination

③ Injury prevention, as stronger, more reactive muscles protect your joints

④ Everyday function, like climbing stairs or getting up quickly

Knee strength 💪 Bulgarian split squats build balance, stability & power.
Give this exercise a go!

Stiff Hips / Lower Back Pain

🔸 Good hip mobility ensures that surrounding muscles—such as the glutes, hamstrings, and core—are activated properly during movement, reducing the strain on the lower back.

🔸 Adding hip mobility exercises to your routine can help maintain a healthy lower back and improve overall movement quality.

👉 Try 2–3 sets of 10 reps on each side.

✅ Focus on strengthening your hips rather than only stretching if you’re experiencing pain.

Walking into the weekend like this 🙃
Happy weekend everyone!

To the strong, resilient, and inspiring women I see every day — this one’s for you.

Your dedication, your energy, and your ability to show up (even when it’s hard) never goes unnoticed.

Today is a reminder to celebrate all that you are — not just what you do.

Whether you're smashing goals in the gym, showing up for your family, or simply giving yourself space to rest… you are powerful. 💪💛

One of my favorite moves for shoulder stability and strength 💪

24/07/2025

This is another Overhead-pressing variation to increase engagement for athletes.

The iso press does a few things:

* Increases Core Engagement: Pressing into the wall forces her to stabilize her spine and resist rotation.

* Improved Overhead Strength: The isometric press eliminates compensations and keeps her form clean.

* Neuro-Motor Coordination: This setup engages more muscles in a coordinated effort, enhancing the neuromuscular connection and improving functional strength.

This additional challenge enhances both the complexity and effectiveness of the half-kneeling overhead press.

It can help athletes build core strength, stability, and unilateral power while improving their ability to resist external forces.

My go-to hamstring exercise:
Try this exercise — whether you're recovering from a hamstring injury or simply looking for an excellent way to strengthen your hamstrings.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴

This exercise is a must-save; it keeps your low back, core, abs, and hip mobility in check!

These reverse squats are incredible for building hip flexor and psoas strength, which directly impacts how your low back functions.

The 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 is often overlooked, yet it plays a major role in upper body function.

A lack of rotation and extension here can lead to chronic issues in the:
– Shoulders
– Neck
– Upper back

While this drill is great with no weight (and I often prescribe that to clients), we should also seek to challenge these positions by loading them with weight overtime.

𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁-𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘀!

💪Consistency is key.
💪Mobility opens the door.
💪Strength keeps it open.
