This is a Strength based class designed for The Everyday Athlete looking for something to “Build them up and NOT break them down”

2x Weekly, predominantly focusing on educating and empowering you Barbell and Kettlebell lifts,

1hr session designed to focus on a strength exercise or skill each month. We will focus on the major lifts such as the squat, deadlift, press, lunge, carry and pull.

So if you want to improve your lifts like a pull up, or a back squat or just want to move better and feel stronger, this is the class for you.

The class will be educational, technical, progressive and will help empower you to be confident in strength training and what your body can achieve.

You will be assessed, taught the intricacies of strength training and the major lifts. This will help build confidence through education and more of a coaching led experience, but still with the feel of being part of a community.

The sessions will also be 100% scaleable, therefore allowing anyone to participate no matter what fitness or skill level.

These sessions are restricted to a maximum of 6 people. Therefore, allowing more individual focus on participants technical development of their lifts.

A key area that we coach at Fit6 is Tension to Task.
-
A key principle of movement is tension and relaxation.
Without creating the right tension for the right task you are possibly leaving yourself open to injury.
—
Generally people have 2 tension dials:
Nothing or 100% and there is nothing in between.
—
Both extremes could potentially leave the body vulnerable to injury.
—
For example. If you pick a pencil off of the ground you may create 5-10% tension in your body. However, if you pick up your 5 year old child you will need to create a lot more tension in your body, turning up the tension dial to 80-100%.
—
Therefore by creating more tension you are helping to stabilise your body to avoid injury.
—
However, if your tension dial is constantly turned up, so over tensioning (specifically in certain areas like your neck, shoulders, back, jaw, hands and feet) you can actually create chronic tension which in turn may lead to injury or pain.
—
Knowing when and how to turn up the “tension dial” is key 🔑
—
Daily tasks that we should create some tension for, might be lifting a box off of the floor, standing with a heavy bag on your shoulders or picking your child up and awkwardly placing them into their car seat. When you perform these movements do you create any tension in your core muscles and/or glutes, do you even have a core bracing strategy? All things to think about to help prevent injury.
—
Equally, learning to dial down the tension when you are sat at your desk or you are just simply standing in a queue is just as important.
—
Creating tension isn’t just for the gym, but it’s a great place to learn. At Fit6 we can help guide you into bracing strategies and help you to feel how to create the right tension to task, then apply it to real life!

Do you move through these 6 primal movement patterns?

*Squat
*Lunge
*Push
*Pull
*Hinge
*Rotation

Exercise selection is easy.
—
Just select one of the above and move your body through the full range of motion at least once a week.
—
You could divide the exercises up however you want. Do all 6 in one day, or pick one a day for 6 different days. You could split the exercises doing 3 one day and 3 another day.
—
It really doesn’t matter, so long as you cover all 6 in a week.
—
By strengthening these 6 exercises, you are conditioning your body to perform these human patterns daily, for as long in your life as humanly possible.
—
Think about it:

*Squatting to sit down and up off of your sofa
*Walking to the shops
*Putting a box onto a shelf
*Pulling open a heavy door
*Picking your child up
*Turning around to move something off the back seat of your car

By training these movements, you are prolonging your quality of life.
—
As the saying goes:

“move it or lose it”

—
Swipe left for an example of each pattern and 5 progressions on each that you can build up to.

Fed up of being in pain? The same recurring symptoms getting you down?
—
Well stop treating the symptoms.
—
Stop chasing pain.
—
Find the root cause and solve that, instead of chucking money at quick fixes.
—
Putting a plaster over pain is fine short term, but won’t solve your issue long term
—
🧠 Get assessed
🧠 Become more aware of what may be causing the problem
🧠 Educate yourself on how to manage the root cause
🧠 Empower yourself through education on what you can do to fix the issue or at least manage symptoms short term while the root cause is being fixed long term
🧠 Stop paying out for quick fixes! The Theragun you want to spend £200 on is not the answer 🤔😮🤭😂
—
Remember pain is a symptom and not the cause

Love this quote from Joel Jamieson. Too often we confuse our intention and purpose when trying to achieve our goal.
—
I refer to this ☝️ as Junk Volume.
—
The difference between simply exercising and actually training is purpose.
—
When training specifically for a set goal sometimes less is more. And being specific towards that set goal is what really matters.
—
For example if you are trying to build strength why do 100’s or 1000’s of reps in a session when 4 or 5 sets of 1-5reps will do?
—
Train with intention that’s specific to your goal. There’s no point trying to pack on muscle (hypertrophy) if you cycle 20miles to and from work everyday.
—
Know and understand why you are doing an exercise, why you are selecting a particular rep range or what system you want/need to be training. Otherwise you could just be wasting your time.
—
If your goal is to improve your anaerobic system why go jogging 3x a week for 5 miles?
—
Time is precious, so it’s best to focus on the exact training principle you want to improve 👍💪👊
—
So ditch the Junk Volume and concentrate on the stuff that really matters.

You’ve had a shoulder injury for a while now.
—
It’s a constant dull ache. Then you move it in a certain way and it screams at you.
—
You’ve done your Dr Google search and he says it’s probably a rotator cuff issue.
—
Dr Google is probably right, but going after just the rotator cuffs won’t solve your pain.
—
In steps the Fit6 guide to fixing shoulder pain.
—
Start on the stuff at the bottom then work your way up the pyramid. Simple.
—
Rotator cuff stuff is at the top.
—
That’s a clue…….Fix the stuff below first.
—
Unless you want to stay in pain and never truly address the issue. But that’s up to you.
—
Unsure what to do next? Get assessed.
—
No point guessing.
—
DM me if this sounds familiar.
—
Remember pain is your body’s request for change 👍

Single leg balance test.
—
The ability to balance on one leg has been attributed to longevity according to a 12 year study of over 1,700 people.
—
If you are unable to balance for more than 10 seconds you have a higher risk of all cause mortality by 84%. Not to mention an increased risk of slips, trips and falls.
—
To perform the test:
> Stand barefoot on one leg
> Eyes open
> Hands by your side, elbows straight
> Eyes fixed on an object 6 feet away
> Resting foot placed on the back of standing leg
—
You have 3 attempts to achieve 10 or more seconds.
—
This should be a prerequisite at any stage of life and through specific strength training can easily be achieved.
—
Give it a try, and see how you get on:
Remember:
‘Move it or lose it’

I often get asked “what is it you actually do?”, or even “what’s your job title? So I can refer you to my friend”.
—
From a business marketing point of view what I do probably isn’t the easiest to explain to people, however it’s quite simple really:
I bridge the gap between injury rehab and performance.
—
I help those that feel adrift and disillusioned with the help that they have received so far and really want to find their path back to a focused, pain free fitness journey.
—
I help you to break the Training, Injury , Rehab cycle.
—
I use a mixture of soft tissue manipulation, corrective exercises and strength training to get you there.
—
I don’t believe in quick fixes, and my clientele are those that have seen multiple therapists and know that there’s more rehab than just a manipulation.
—
I Asses, not guess.
—
I treat pain as a symptom, not the root cause.
—
I educate, empower and improve.

Do you walk, run, squat or jump?
—
If so, ankle dorsiflexion is essential in your posture and movement.
—
Ankle Dorsiflexion is basically moving your foot so that your toes get closer to your knee. (Ankle plantar flexion is essentially the opposite, where you point your toes downward and away from your knee.)
—
Why does this even matter, and why should we even care?
—
Restricted ankle mobility will lead to undesirable compensations throughout your entire posture, which can potentially lead to injury, pain or decreased athletic performance.
—
Limited ankle dorsiflexion has been associated with:

1. ACL tears
2. Ankle sprains
3. Patellofemoral pain
4. Patellar tendinopathy

Assessing your Ankle Dorsiflexion range of motion is key.
—
Swipe left to see how to assess and a simple but effective corrective protocol to follow.
