🔥 TOP TIP TUESDAY – METABOLIC CONDITIONING! 🦍

Ever wondered how you can get a full-body workout, get your heart pumping and challenge your muscles all at the same time?

Meet METCON – Metabolic Conditioning! 💥

The idea is simple:
💪 3 exercises
🔥 20 reps of each
⏱️ Minimal rest between movements.

Think:
🏋️ Plate Thrusters
💥 Medicine Ball Slams
🔥 Kettlebell Exercises

By combining full-body movements and keeping the intensity up, you’re challenging multiple muscle groups while getting your heart rate working hard.

It’s a fantastic way to improve fitness, build muscular endurance and increase your energy expenditure in a shorter workout.

TOP TIP: Metabolic conditioning can be alternated with strength-focused sessions to give your training variety and help develop different aspects of fitness.

And yes… it definitely gets you working! 😂

Want to challenge yourself, improve your fitness and unleash your inner beast?

🏋️ YOUR TRAINING. YOUR GOALS. YOUR COACH.

Did you know you don’t have to train face-to-face with me every session to benefit from Gorilla Performance Coaching?

Meet Xander, a hybrid athlete who uses the Everfit app alongside his coaching with me.

Xander trains with me once a week, but his training doesn’t stop there!

Through the Everfit app, I can programme his workouts, giving him a clear breakdown of:

💪 What exercises to do
🔥 Sets and reps
🎥 Video demonstrations so you know exactly how to perform each exercise
📊 Track your weights, sets and progress
💬 Message me and keep in touch with your coach.

I can also keep an eye on his progress, monitor his training and adapt his programme as he develops.

And the best bit? You can train in your own time, wherever you are, knowing you’ve still got professional coaching and support behind you.

Whether you’re a hybrid athlete, looking to improve your performance, build strength or simply want a structured training programme, this could be for you.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

A little bit of preparation now can make eating well during a busy week so much easier.

🥕 MY HEALTHY BUTTERNUT SQUASH & RED LENTIL SOUP

🥸 THE RAZOR IS DOWN… AND THE MEXICAN IS INCOMING! 🇲🇽😂

Ian has officially started his Movember challenge, and he’s made his decision… he’s growing THE MEXICAN!

Apparently, he’s going for an AI Macho from the Minions look! 🤣 We can’t promise it’ll be pretty, but we can promise it’ll be entertaining!

But jokes aside, there’s a serious reason behind the moustache.

💙 Raising awareness of men’s mental health and su***de prevention.
💙 Prostate cancer.
💙 Testicular cancer.
💙 Encouraging men to talk, seek help and look after their health.

Too many men suffer in silence. Let’s change that.

WE’D LOVE YOUR SUPPORT!

If you can, please donate to Ian’s Movember challenge. Every donation, however small, helps support the important work being done to improve men’s health.

👇 DONATE HERE: Support our fundraiser: https://movember.com/t/gorilla-performance-coaching?mc=63

Follow Ian’s moustache journey throughout November. We may need a strong stomach by the end of it! 😂

REAL MEN. REAL CONVERSATIONS. BETTER HEALTH.

💪 TOP TIP TUESDAY!

WHAT IS ACCOMMODATING RESISTANCE?

It’s a way of adding extra challenge to your strength training using chains or resistance bands.

In this video, Marco demonstrates it using a resistance band with a standing landmine press.

Here’s the difference:

🏋️ Without the band, as you reach the top of the movement, there’s less tension and effort required.

💪 Add the band and the resistance increases as you press upwards, helping maintain tension throughout the movement.

The band can be positioned under one foot or both, depending on the setup.

It’s a great way to add variety, challenge your muscles differently and make your reps work harder!

Train smarter. Make every rep count! 🔥
