Let’s talk about what you should expect from a training program.

A balanced training program should have all of these components:

Resistance Training ✅
Cardiorespiratory Training ✅
Flexibility Training ✅
Corrective Exercise ✅
Nutrition + Recovery ✅

If you want to meet your goals all of these components must be met! For instance, let’s say someone only lifts weights so they can “get big” and build muscle - but this person avoids flexibility training (static + dynamic stretching). Not only are they increasing their likelihood for joint injury, their muscles will soon become tight. This will limit blood flow to their muscles preventing growth. Moreover a tight muscle does not have the range of motion as a healthy muscle. A limited range of motion will not activate all of your muscle fibres while lifting. Now when this person exercises they are only “half-repping” their lifts. Here they thought hyper-focusing on resistance training would make them have gains when in fact - it’s just the opposite!

There are many ways to avoid tight muscles. Introduce a 10:12 ratio in favour of posterior exercises into your program. This counteracts postural abnormalities from tight and weak muscles groups in the anterior.

If you have any questions about how to properly build muscle, burn fat and fix posture. DM me for a FREE assessment. 💪

Let’s talk about mobility and stability.

A huge component of your body’s stability is all thanks to myofascial slings.

These connective tissue pathways allow us to trace the characteristic
patterns of tension within the body. When looking
at a certain movement, any weakness, tightness,
or other restriction of any of the myofascia within
that particular sling can cause a significant effect
the stability and mobility of other joints and tissues
along the same chain.

Let’s use our Lateral Fascia Line as an example. Many things can restrict mobility in our fascia lines (lack of hydration, Poor Diet, Anxiety, Insufficient Sleep) and this can manifest in how we exercise. Slide two is a prime example of an inhibited lateral line. Notice how this lateral line stretch improves the clients range of motion and prevents lateral shifting in the hips? If this stretch was not introduced into the clients program - one glute would be more dominant in his squats which would soon lead to muscle imbalance.
