TRED Training PT and Fitness Classes

Your Workouts Should Include:

✅ Forward and backward movements (sagittal plane)
✅ Side-to-side movements (frontal plane)
✅ Rotation and twisting movements (transverse plane)
✅ Single-leg balance work
✅ Reaching and lifting patterns from different angles

The goal of training as we age isn’t just getting stronger—it’s staying capable, adaptable and confident in every direction life takes us. 💪✨

Why Multi-Plane Workouts Matter More As We Age

Most daily life doesn’t happen in a straight line. We twist, turn, reach, bend, step sideways and change direction constantly. If your workouts only train forwards and backwards, you’re missing a huge piece of healthy movement.

1. Keeps Joints Healthy

Joints are designed to move through multiple planes of motion. Training in different directions helps maintain mobility, lubrication and overall joint function.

2. Strengthens Ligaments and Tendons

Ligaments and tendons need gradual loading from different angles to stay strong and resilient. This helps them cope better with everyday demands and unexpected movements.

3. Improves Balance and Reduces Falls

Sideways movements, rotation and single-leg work challenge balance systems that naturally decline with age, helping you stay steady and confident.

4. Builds Real-Life Strength

Life isn’t a squat or a bicep curl. Carrying shopping, getting out of a car, gardening, lifting grandchildren and playing sports all require movement in multiple planes.

5. Reduces Injury Risk

Bodies that only move in one direction become stiff and less adaptable. Multi-plane training improves movement options and helps reduce overload on the same tissues repeatedly.

YOUR KNEES ARE UNDER MORE PRESSURE THAN YOU THINK

Link in bio for new blog post all about the knees

Read below for quick facts

🦵 Knobbly KNEE fact 🦵

1️⃣ Your knees absorb HUGE force
When running, your knees can take up to 8x your body weight with every step.

2️⃣ The kneecap improves strength
Your patella (kneecap) helps your quads work more efficiently and improves leverage when straightening your leg.

3️⃣ Cartilage has no blood supply
The cartilage in your knee relies on movement to get nutrients — another reason regular movement matters.

4️⃣ Strong glutes help your knees
Weak hips and glutes can increase stress through the knee joint and affect how well you move.

Move them.
Strengthen them.
Look after them

Strong today. Independent tomorrow. 💪

Grip strength is one of the biggest indicators of how well we age.
Poor grip strength has been linked to:
• Reduced muscle mass
• Poor balance & mobility
• Higher risk of falls
• Reduced independence later in life

And it’s not just about your hands…

Staying fit through strength, mobility & functional movement helps:
✔️ Protect joints
✔️ Maintain muscle
✔️ Support bone health
✔️ Improve balance & posture
✔️ Keep you moving well for longer

Fitness isn’t just about how you look.
It’s about staying capable, strong & independent as you age. 🔥

4 days off… and this is what I did 👇

🚐 800 miles driving
🥾 30 miles walking
🚵 16 miles of MTB
⛰️ 10,000ft climbed

And none of it burnt more calories… or raised my cortisol levels… like watching my child race downhill 😂

Parenting stress is a different level.

Back to work to chill and undo the wine damage!

Do your workouts include all planes of movement ?

Most people only train forwards and backwards… but life doesn’t work like that.

Your body is designed to:
➡️ Twist
➡️ Rotate
➡️ Reach
➡️ Step sideways
➡️ Stabilise

If you only train in one direction, your body eventually lets you know.

Training Should Include All Planes of Movement

1️⃣ Reduces Injury Risk
Training different movement patterns helps strengthen joints, ligaments, and stabilising muscles that often get neglected.

2️⃣ Improves Balance & Coordination
Sideways and rotational movements challenge the body differently, improving overall control and body awareness.

3️⃣ Supports Better Mobility
Moving through multiple planes keeps the body adaptable, mobile, and less stiff as we age.

4️⃣ Builds Real-Life Strength
Life isn’t lived on a treadmill. Carrying shopping, playing sport, twisting, bending, and reaching all require multi-directional strength.

5️⃣ Helps You Age Better
Functional movement keeps you moving well for longer — improving posture, reaction time, joint health, and everyday confidence.

Train your body for LIFE… not just for the mirror 💥
