Breath is everything.

It affects your health, blood pressure, digestion, mobility, stability, relaxation, strength and power.

Yet most people do not know how to breathe properly (upper thoracic/chest breathing) in normal life let alone how to breathe when lifting!

Don’t underestimate the importance of breathing and bracing under load. Creating intra-abdominal pressure helps protect your spine and gives you a solid foundation for safe, strong lifting.

Get it wrong and you can be vulnerable to injury and not lifting as optimally strong as you could be!

Get it right and it’s a game changer.

Join me at the StrongFirst Foundations Workshop 11 September and learn the skills that make every lift stronger, safer and more efficient.

Breath, brace, plank, deadlift, swing, push up!

Thank you Anna Harvey for your kind words!
A pleasure working with a strong lady! 💪

Next up for our StrongFirst GB 🇬🇧 Weekend of Strength is another Elite Instructor Elise Laura Ball to assist at the StrongFirst SFB Bodyweight Instructor Certification

Elise is an Elite coach based near Bristol and runs both 1:1 and small group training sessions from her private training space in Nailsea.

Originally from a professional dance background, Elise has worked within the fitness industry in various capacities since her late teens. She has taught many genres of dance, specialising in Classical Ballet, and has a deep understanding of the physical demands placed on dancers.

Through her years of experience, Elise understands the benefits that strength training brings to all forms of dance. From improved coordination and balance to enhanced strength, mobility, range of motion, power, and precision, she recognises how these qualities contribute to better movement and performance both on and off the dance floor.

Now in her forties, Elise is passionate about sharing her love of strength training, StrongFirst principles, and all things movement-related. Her goal is to help people build resilient, capable bodies that move well, perform well, and remain strong for life.

Look better because you got stronger. 💪

Because you built a body that can actually do things, lift your suitcase into the overhead locker, lay paving slabs, yes I did it! 🫡

Strong legs, grip, lats, glutes and abs!
Healthy, resilient joints, here is to still squatting in your 60’s & beyond, running up the stairs not having the take the lift or the escalators.
A body that keeps going when life gets heavy.

You trained with intent and purpose.
You put in the work, you turned up when even when you didn’t feel like it!
There are no shortcuts and those that do try the short cuts, the results do not last and they often pay a harsh price on their health.

And here’s the thing…building a resilient and capable body, that kind of strength shows, in confidence, in posture, you carry yourself differently, poor posture is aging!

Strong is definitely the new aesthetic.

Age strong. Look strong. Be strong.
