Innate Performance

When it comes to working out, it’s important to remember that the quality of your lift matters.

Improving the quality of your movement can lead to:

💪 Better joint and muscle health
💪 Improved stability during lifting
💪 Greater strength gains
💪 Decreased likelihood of injury

At Innate, we place an emphasis on making sure our clients understand the importance of focusing on the quality of their lift rather than the number of reps or kilos they are lifting.

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind during your next lift 👇

#1: Take a look at your form when lifting.

Are you paying attention to your body and getting into the correct starting position? Ensure that your feet are planted squarely on the ground, your hips are stacked over your feet and your spine is neutral. Doing this will give your body enough stability to start lifting.

#2: Pay attention to what’s happening with your body as you’re doing it.

Make sure you’re using full range of motion, using the muscles that you’re supposed to and avoiding any unnecessary compensations with other body parts.

#3 Pay attention to the speed of your reps.

Make sure that you’re not rushing through them. While it’s important to move through them quickly to keep your heart rate up and get the most out of a rep, it’s just as important to make sure that you’re taking the time to get a full range of motion. This will help to ensure that you’re targeting the correct muscles so you can get better results in the long run.

Bonus Tip: Do all three in front of a mirror while working out. Seeing your form can make all the difference when it comes to correcting how you stand or move around!

Improving the quality of your lift will have lasting impacts on your athletic performance and will help keep you safe in the gym. So, remember: focus on form, use proper technique, and take it slow. With this approach, you’ll be able to maximize your gains while preventing injuries!

When Tom came into Innate Fitness, he didn’t want to give into aging or let himself go. It was important to him that he felt like his best self for as long as possible. 💪

Since beginning training with Curtis at the gym twice a week and twice at home, he says, “I’ve been really amazed at how much stronger I’ve gotten from keeping at it.” Hearing those words is AMAZING because we’re always preaching that consistency is key to achieving your fitness goals, and Tom is obviously seeing the results! 📈

But it’s not always easy. Tom told us he isn’t so fond of lunges, and his trainer Curtus is consistently raising the difficulty of workouts just enough to make it challenging, which can be hard to do without a trainer keeping you accountable.

He currently does two upper-body days and two lower-body days a week with the goal of being able to do pull-ups and jump higher. We can’t wait to help him reach this goal and create new ones in the near future! Tom is a perfect example of what working hard and sticking to your fitness goals looks like, and we’re SO proud of him!

Help us congratulate Tom on all his hard work! 🙌 🎉

Adding weights is NOT the only way you can measure success in your training. Keeping track of your progress goes beyond lifting crazy heavy weights, personal records, and the one-rep max.

In order to improve in training, our muscles have to constantly be pushed to do more work than they're used to. Otherwise, we reach a plateau. We call this a "progressive overload" because it stimulates muscle growth and is defined as an increase of resistance, reps, sets, and overall work that the muscles are placed under, which pushes us to make progress in the gym. However, there are a ton of other factors we can measure to make sure we are constantly improving.

#1: Monitor how you feel
Moving your body should not only help you physically but also mentally. Sleeping better, feeling energized, strong, confident, and “ready to go” is an indication of successful training.

#2: Track the quality of your lifts
Prioritizing your form and the quality of your movement is a great start! Perfecting the movements allows your lifts to be more efficient and provides even more stimulus to the body in a safe and extremely effective way.

#3: Increase your reps
It really is as simple as it sounds! Performing more repetitions in your workout shows progression. Even 1 to 3 extra reps go a long way! Pushing those last few additional reps can make all the difference in your progress!

#4: Increase your frequency/volume
Just like increasing reps, being able to increase sets increases volume. When properly adding in some extra volume to a particular muscle group each week, your body has to work a bit harder to meet that extra energy demand.

#5: Take progress pictures
Progress pictures are a great way for you to visually see the changes in your body and how your clothes fit differently. You might not see the progress looking in the mirror every day, but you'll definitely notice the difference looking at your progress pictures!

They may not seem like much, but trust us when we say making small changes and implementing them into your workout will help you start seeing your progress better than ever before! 💪

We just added a new machine to the mix — the Assault Runner! 🏃‍♀️

All our runners are going to be PUMPED! 💪 The Assault Runner, unlike the motorized treadmill, runs off YOUR power. You power it and set your speed with its heavy-duty slatted belt that moves with you as you move forward.

So, why do we love the Assault Runner so much? We already have treadmills, after all.

Unlike traditional treadmills, the Assault Runner:

✅ Activates your hamstrings more
✅ Promotes proper running form
✅ 100% user-powered
✅ Allows YOU to set your speed
✅ Burns more calories
✅ Prevents Injury

We are excited to see how much our clients will take running to the next level with the Assault Runner. Are you ready to give it a spin? 🤩
