***Movement Mondays***

It’s been the best part over 8yrs since I lasted trained Nigel up at a certain commercial gym in the Quarter Mile area. It’s great to have him back to aid him again in his fitness journey 🙌🏻

Climbing is a big part of Nigel’s leisure activities, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, which places various demands on the body. He will be learning the basics of Animal Flow to build that upper body strength, endurance and control to transfer over to climbing 💪🏻

Of course climbing is not just about the upper body strength, the drive from the legs is just as important. Therefore the callisthenics training will be partnered up with other forms of resistance training to improve overall strength 🤓

A lot of people spend so much time hammering their body in the gym without the sufficient recovery. is a great training technique used to improve strength and mobility but also for recovery sessions/days too 🐾

Longevity is something that I mentioned to Nigel today. It’s about training hard but being able to sustain it without constantly being injured and having setbacks ✅

With these private one on one sessions in my studio there are no distractions and the focus on technique and performance is enhanced. Something that you wouldn’t be able to pinpoint as much with a virtual or online training regime 👍🏻

***TRANSFORMATION TUESDAYS***

A completely different transformation than normal for a fitness page 🏋🏻‍♂️

A behind the scenes look at all the hard work and effort put into building my brand new studio 🏠

A place where clients need not to worry about busy commercial gyms. To either be in view of others or even just being able to do the exercises they want to do in a session. Rather than waiting around for equipment or constantly having to change their exercise routine for that day 💪🏻

So today marks a big milestone for myself. It’s been 11 months to the date since surgery and I believe it was around this time for the first surgery that I ran into complications. Resulting in the knee buckling and rupturing the first graft 😕

Of course crashing on my bike last year made sure the damage was done 😂

The approach of this rehab has been different to last. I’ve been unable to do any water rehab in the Pool when they were all closed. The Meniscus was also trimmed at the front and back of my knee after it had been torn. Resulting in a lot more discomfort while trying to improve the range of movement (ROM) 😬

With this in mind I was trying different exercises and the video is a form of Split Squats I’ve been doing a lot of. This’ one of the more advanced progressions of this exercise. Having the front foot on the floor and the bar in the high bar position 🏋🏻‍♂️

The benefits range from challenging my ACL graft in hyperflexion and strengthening it in the biggest ROM possible. Working on ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, hip flexion and extension, along with big toe extension. Something that can improve balance and push off for sprints 🦶🏻

I’m now into the unknown and I would consider it another 13months to go before full recovery. With functional symmetry being achieved in that time 💪🏻
