What’s the first thing you do when you get to the gym? 🤔

If your answer is “stretch” you are right… ✔️

… but also wrong ❌…

The type of stretching you do before you lift weights or run is very important for injury prevention and performance. 💪🏻🏃🏻‍♂️

If you are currently static stretching when you first get to the gym, meaning that you stretch and hold for time, I recommend you change that.

Here’s an analogy to help explain:

Your muscles are like a rubber band.

Imagine you put a rubber band in the freezer for a few hours. Then you take it out and immediately stretch it. What’s going to happen?

It will become weak and possibly tear.

How do you fix this and what should you do instead?

Back to the analogy, you would let the rubber band warm up first then it becomes gradually more elastic.

With that in mind, what should you do?

Here are two options:

▪️Dynamic Stretching (Weight training or Running) ✅ - Butt Kicks, High Knees, Shoulder Swings, Toy Soldiers, etc.

▪️Warm Up (Weight training) ✅ - Treadmill, Stepper, Battle Ropes, Assault Bike, etc.

Movements that get the blood flowing, mimic your upcoming movement patterns or warm you up.

So next time before you lift or run, don’t just “stretch”; dynamic stretch!

Alternatively for weight training, get yourself warmed up! 🔥

It could save you from a possible injury and increase your performance.

Static stretching still has its place too…

…but it’s best after your workout.

More on this in a future post.

Have a great weekend! ☀️

That treat you ate last night… 🧁🍕

… IS NOT going to make you gain weight or hinder your progress.

It’s the rest of the day, week, month, etc… that you persisted making poor choices or threw in the towel with exercise that very well could.

A cupcake, a slice of pizza, you name it... can be enjoyed occasionally.

But when that one choice results in many poor choices being made afterwards and that becomes your normal… THAT causes weight gain or a lack of progress.

A good coach from time-to-time will:

WANT you to be able to enjoy your favourite foods.

WANT you to be able to go to a dinner and not stress about the calories involved.

Most importantly a good coach will WANT you to get right back on track afterwards like nothing ever happened.

Deviations need to be a part of the game-plan for most people!

With the right approach, treating yourself can incentivise you making the right choices 90%+ of the time and keep your fitness journey sustainable for life. 📈

Occasionally treating yourself will also help you avoid developing an unhealthy dysmorphia with your body or a destructive relationship with food…

… allowing you to…

PROGRESS IN YOUR FITNESS GOALS LONG TERM ✅

HAVE A HEALTHY AND BALANCED RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD & EXERCISE ✅

This is your reminder that you can achieve both.

Hope you’re having a wonderful start to your weekend! 😊
