⭐️ Girls Lift Too! ⭐️

It’s not the men’s section in the gym… it’s the free-weights section. Move over boys were coming in…!

What’s your favourite exercise to do in the weights area…? I’m partial to a dumbbell chest press 🤔

These also make for great gifts…! 🤔🎁

⭐️ THINK YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO IMPROVE YOUR STRENGTH? ⭐️

Let’s think again… 🤔

Strength training is vital for optimal body composition especially as we age but when it comes to getting started people can be put off by assumptions that strength training…

❌ needs to be an 1hr long
❌ needs to be done in a gym
❌ needs to be done 3-4 times per week
❌ will make you bulky
❌ needs to be complex

However luckily a lot can be achieved in a short period of time with consistency and an effective workout. Strength training…

✅ can be done in small blocks of time with some even advocating for just 5 minutes per day* and others showing how just 3 seconds a day** can have a positive impact on muscle strength
✅ can be done anywhere you want! Even at home or outside
✅ can have results from just one session per week
✅ will not immediately make you bulky - this requires a lot more effort than people want to put in!
✅ can be as simple as a few foundational exercises done regularly, even these can be modified and progressed to ensure you don’t plateau

So try not to use time as an excuse to avoid strength training, rather think about the time you can carve out and make sure you use it optimally.

⭐️5 REASONS TO INCORPORATE UNILATERAL LOWER BODY EXERCISES⭐️

1. They will help to even you out - you’ll naturally favour one side over the other, so working each side independently ensures the side that may get neglected / used less has to show up and work!

2. The sensation of the muscle working will be emphasised by working it independently, helping you to develop your brain-muscle pathways which will ultimately lead to improving muscle activation.

3. Your core will get a sneaky workout due to many unilateral exercises requiring an element of balance.

4. It will keep your workouts interesting and challenging - there’s so many variations you can try, lunges for example could be done laterally, from a step (drop lunges), or with your back leg elevated (Bulgarian split squats).

5. They can help to prevent injuries and imbalances by ensuring one side isn’t compensating for the less dominant side. 💥

🤩NEW DESIGN! 🤩

Improve your grip strength with GWL weight lifting straps. Choose from pink or grey! 

If your grip strength is restricting the amount of weight you can comfortably lift in the gym then GWL lifting straps are for you! 

The straps work by attaching your hand to the bar / weight to prevent you from having to rely on your grip strength alone. They help by providing extra grip and support to your wrists while doing heavy lifts such as deadlifts.

The silicone gel and latex thread in the strap design are designed to reduce the amount of slipping, enabling a tight and secure grip. 

Details as follows:
* Available in pink or grey
* Sold in a pair
* One size fits all
* Material - 90% polyester, 10% cotton. Also includes silicone & latex thread
* Neoprene padding for added comfort
