New season - new challenges and new outdoor training opportunities! 🍁
How to prepare for physical activity in autumn? Grab some tips 👇

🍂 Wear layered and waterproof clothing - A loose outer layer will help you stay warm, while lightweight inner layers will allow you to move freely. Always add a waterproof jacket or sweatshirt to your backpack or training bag in case of unexpected rainfall.
👟 Appropriate footwear: choose footwear that provides adequate stability, support and protection against moisture.
👕 Take care of your clothing material: Choose clothes made of breathable materials that help regulate body temperature and wick away moisture. Avoid cotton, which can absorb sweat and make it difficult to stay warm.
🏃 Remember to warm up: Before you start training outdoors, make sure you warm up properly.

The Bulgarian Squat is an excellent exercise that strengthens the leg muscles, including the gluteal muscles and calves. But how to do the Bulgarian squat correctly? 🧐

✔️ Stand straight. Hold the dumbbells in both hands at your side. Select the foot you want to raise.
✔️ Place one foot on a platform, the other leg should be a few steps forward.
✔️ Slowly lower your body down as if you were sitting on a chair.
✔️ Lower down until your back leg is approaching the floor.
✔️Then return to the starting position with slow, controlled movement

Remember that the Bulgarian squat is an exercise that requires good technique and breathing control. Start with fewer reps and gradually increase the difficulty 🔥

There are some tips from Bekki

Spanish Squats 👇

Now here is a movement I was introduced to maybe a year ago when I was doing a bit of rehab on my left knee, and I read an article on how to bulletproof the knees for exercise. There were a few exercises included, but if I was going to recommend one, that many people tend to mention, it would be the Spanish Squat.



How to do it? 👇

As shown in the picture, get a thick resistance band and wrap it around a fixed object/bars. To be honest you can be inventive with this, as I fixed it to the railing around my garden when I was first starting out, but even a tree or lamppost will do.

Once this is secure, put one end of the band behind your knees and step back a pace or 2, until you can start squatting under the support of the band. When you feel ready, start to squat as you usually would, making sure your shins and back stay straight and lower your body until your quads are parallel to the ground. At this point you can either hold the position or do multiple squats.



What are the benefits? 🧐

The use of the band allows you to take the pressure off the knees and utilise the quads and other muscles surrounding the knee instead. This can be ideal if you are recovering from an injury or you don't want to overstress the knee joint. Strengthening these muscles will also help to reduce the risk of future injury.


When you perform the squat it's not as easy as you think it will be. You need to create the necessary tension to lower your body against the band, whilst keeping your balance and form in check. This means the whole movement will be slower. Slower movements = muscles under tension for longer periods of time = more potential to build muscle. Win win! 💪

Medicine Ball Training 🏐
A medicine ball can add so much value to a workout. If you don’t have a lot of storage space at home, this is definitely something I would recommend.

Why a Medicine Ball? 🧐
👉 It’s great for beginners who want to add a bit of resistance. It’s much easier to use than dumbbells and barbells, so it is a great tool for learning and adapting.
👉 It’s a whole body workout, working on many areas of fitness, from strength, to speed, power, agility and general conditioning.
👉 It can help to rebuild balance and body function.
👉 No assembly required, you don't need to keep changing the weight! Obviously very mobile and good to take with you in the car.

Top Exercises to Try 👇
Ball Slams
Great cardio and builds strength and power.

Russian Twists
Really works the core. Make sure the feet are raised off the floor and try to tap the floor with the ball on each side to feel the burn.

Thrusters
Really good for upper and lower body strength gains.

Med Ball Push-Up
In a regular push-up position, place one hand on top of the ball and one on the floor. This creates a good uneven and unstable push-up. Change arms to work both sides of the body.

Med Ball V-Up
Lie down with your hands above your head holding the ball on the floor. Come up to meet your feet in the usual way, but this time try to get the ball as close to your feet as possible, then lower and repeat.

Med Ball Runs
Try running with your med ball in your arms, maybe 400-800m. Running with a weight has always been beneficial for certain training, and for me this is an interesting challenge. I will balance it on my shoulders, other times out in front of me. It's not easy to find a perfect place. See what works for you!

Tip 🍀

You don’t need to opt for the heaviest weight. Try to go for something you can do multiple reps with throughout a range of different exercises. You can always add more reps to make the workout harder, whereas you can’t reduce weight if the ball is too heavy!

There are some tips from Bekki
What is 'Instability Training'? 🧐

It refers to doing regular exercises/positions, but using equipment that provides the body with a level of instability. This means you need to work much harder to maintain balance 🤸‍♂

What are the Benefits? 👇

It can seriously strengthen your core and trunk which is beneficial for a range of movements/sports 👌

It is a challenge! If you are finding exercises too easy, it's a way to increase the difficulty and test yourself. If you can perform an exercise under difficult circumstances you will be much stronger when going back to the regular movement 💪

Building stability for certain sports. For example if you run cross country on uneven surfaces this can help the body to adapt its motor responses and react faster when a surface changes. This can also help to prevent ankle injuries 🏃‍♀

Preventing injury is a key. Many injuries occur because of the slow reaction of core muscles to unexpected or fast movements. A sudden movement such as twisting, flexing or diving into a certain direction, can cause damage if your body is not prepared 🤸

Examples, and things to try... 👇

Plank 🦸‍♀
Using a Bosu Ball/ Balance Board - Get into a plank position with your forearms on the uneven surface. Try to hold the plank position for as long as possible.
Mountain Climbers 🧗‍♀
Using a TRX (or similar suspension equipment) or Gymnastic Rings - Suspend feet through the rings/handles so that they are off the floor, in line with your body, place your hands in the regular position and then drive your knees alternatively towards your chest.
Wall Squats 🧘‍♂
Put a Swiss Ball against your lower back, between you and the wall and carry out a squat under control.
Pushups 👌
If you’re advanced, try pushups with hands suspended and feet on the floor!

Top Tip 🍀
Instability training has many possibilities, above are only a few examples, but play around and try to find ways to use unstable surfaces in your training. Even if you don't have equipment you can always use natural balance, by standing on one leg or holding a plank with a leg/arm raised. Have fun :)
