Never underestimate the warm-up.

A good warm-up will prepare your mind, your heart, and your muscular/articular system.

Many coaches and enthusiasts treat this lightly and often overlook it, increasing the risk of injury.

A good warm-up should include:
1. Raise temperature (not too long or intense)
2. Joint mobility (specific or general)
3. Muscle activation (specific or general)
4. Potentiation

P.S. Doing 'core abs' IS NOT A WARM-UP.

The bravest (and most challenging) part to starting a new journey in fitness, is to get our “butts” down to the gym

But once you are brave and consistent to at least “show up”, you are 80% closer to your goals.🏋️‍♀️

***CLIENT SPOTLIGHT***

Meet our (shy) client J in her late 40s who started Personal Training with us with the goal of "losing weight" (sound familiar?). Watch her hit a new personal best by deadlifting 50kg (she started with 8kg kettlebells). Read on to find out, in her own words, how she has progressed in her journey.

"I'm your typical professional in her 40s. Alot of time spent working, and "no time" for anything else. I started personal training with Seriesfitness because I woke up one day, fatigued with body aches like I had been for a while, saw that I was at my heaviest ever on the scale, just felt "bleah", and felt like I needed to do something about my health and fitness."

"I started with the goal of "losing weight" but I've gained so much more in my fitness journey. I did lose weight - 1.5 kg of body fat , and gained muscle. More importantly, I've gained functional strength and learnt alot more about what it means to get a good workout (hint: it's not just about running miles and miles). Through my training sessions, I've built a stronger core, I feel more "stable" and lifting heavy bags etc doesn't feel so daunting, and my back aches seem to have disappeared! Over time, I've also learnt alot about proper body movement and technique, how to use kettlebells, and bands during workouts, and I'm now not terrified of barbells like I was when I first started! I've also learnt to eat better (it's not just about eating less!) - what it means to have a healthy meal while still feeling satisfied.

"Having a personal trainer kept me focused, accountable, and helped me build good exercise and eating habits. I now feel more comfortable in the gym, having gained confidence using the gym equipment that once looked so scary to me. I've come a long way and I have the personal trainers at Seriesfitness to thank."

Another perfect exercise to unlock the hip and improve its mobility. This a great exercise to include in your warm up on leg day. 3 sets x 10 reps. 🏋️‍♂️

This is our Master Trainer ‘s idea of fun. He calls it “getting a different perspective”. 🤪 Happy weekend everyone!

The single leg Romanian deadlift is a unilateral exercise that can help you to release lower back pain, improve proprioception, provide glutes and femoral activation and improve joint function at the hip providing hip stability for the deadlift. A wooden stick is used on this video to help with balance and stability. ✅
