💪 Tip of the Week – Smith Machine Squats 💪

This week, Poppy is showing you how to use the Smith Machine for squats — a great exercise for building lower body strength and improving stability and confidence with squat technique.

Smith Machine squats are a fantastic option for targeting your quads, glutes, and hamstrings, while the guided bar path helps support controlled movement.

✔️ Position your feet slightly forward of the bar and shoulder-width apart
✔️ Keep your chest up and core engaged throughout the movement
✔️ Lower down slowly until your thighs are parallel to the floor (or as low as comfortable)
✔️ Push through your heels to return to standing
✔️ Focus on controlled movement rather than rushing through reps

The Smith Machine can be a great tool for both beginners and experienced gym-goers looking to build strength and confidence.

💪 Tip of the Week – Chest Press Machine 💪

This week, Nathan is showing you how to get the most out of the Chest Press machine, a great exercise for building upper body strength and improving pushing power.

The Chest Press primarily targets the chest muscles, while also working the shoulders and triceps.

✔️ Adjust the seat height so the handles are in line with the middle of your chest
✔️ Sit tall with your back against the pad and feet flat on the floor
✔️ Keep your core engaged throughout the movement
✔️ Push the handles forward in a smooth, controlled motion
✔️ Avoid locking out your elbows, then slowly return to the starting position

Focus on controlled movement and good posture rather than rushing through your reps to get the best results.

💪 Tip of the Week – Lying Leg Curl 💪

This week, Di is showing you how to use the Lying Leg Curl machine, a fantastic exercise for strengthening your hamstrings and supporting overall lower body stability.

Strong hamstrings play an important role in helping improve athletic performance, supporting knee health, and reducing the risk of injury.

✔️ Adjust the pad so it sits comfortably just above your ankles
✔️ Lie flat with your hips pressed into the bench
✔️ Keep your core engaged throughout the movement
✔️ Curl your heels up towards your glutes in a slow, controlled motion
✔️ Squeeze at the top, then lower the weight back down steadily

Focus on control rather than momentum to really activate those hamstrings and get the most out of each rep.
