Are you working your glutes and hamstrings properly with this? Asingle leg dead lift is a great exercise but is often not done properly.

Use a mirror in the gym or video yourself and see what you are doing.

Check your form!

Form is more important than reps and sets for results!

AMRAPS!

Vary your gym sessions with the format of exercises aswell as the exercises themselves.

Mixing it up keeps it interesting!

Vary your exercises and your programs to see progression and achieve your goals😊💪🏽….thank you .projectyou

You are never too old or too young to start lifting weights!

So many stories of people in their 80s and 90s lifting weights and the massive difference it has made to their lives!

The physiological and mental benefits are well documented and obviously the younger you are when you start, the longer you will feel these benefits in your life!

Start with body weight as your weight, learn good form/technique and progress slowly and steadily but with consistency.
So many options for weights.

Keep showing up and keep progressing and you will start to see and feel the changes!

Give it a go!

Lifting weights makes you feel good 😊💪🏽

How would you do a Russian twist?

Use a mirror in the gym or video yourself and see what you are doing.

Check your form!

Form is more important than reps and sets for results!

Learning about your body and how it moves helps you to understand your exercises more, to perform them better and to move well with improved outcomes!

The small local muscles need to be activated to provide us with local stability to then allow us to use the bigger global muscles to move better, lift more and reduce our chances of injury.

This is often not understood, not acknowledged and so not addressed.

The ex’s above will do this, and are often given in a program, but not with the right focus and often not performed in the correct way and so, again, you are not working what you should be and will not get the results you want.

This can result in not reaching your goals and often in injury.

It is so important that we become strong “from the inside out”!

In person workshops coming soon 😊💪🏽

Cardio session today!

My week:
3 strength and power sessions
2 conditioning/cardio sessions sounds “technical” but very simple!!
Thank you so much .projectyou

Good to do cardio too but it should not be your only exercise…especially as we age.

Never too young or too old to start, and age no excuse to stop, so if you haven’t already started then give weights and training a try!

And if you have already started that’s great!

Remember age is no excuse for not lifting weights or for “skimping” with your weights sessions so lift what you can…preferably with a structured plan.

Weights and training makes you feel good😊💪🏽

💪🏽In person Workshops coming soon! Learn to move better to get more out of your training😊💪🏽

Give this a try!

✨Are you working what you think you are working?! 💪🏽

✨How you do your exercises is vital to the outcome!

✨Test this out yourself and feel the difference!

✨This movement pattern is seen all the time in the gym/ in classes/with PTs and with coaches.

✨If you are leaning on your legs doing your lunges you are NOT working your glutes and leg muscles as much as you think.

✨By keeping your hands OFF your legs, this moves the emphasis to your glutes and legs therefore working the muscles you want to work and not the “cheat “ muscles.
