10 Quick Training Tips




1.          Warm up is important
2.          Include Muscle activation Drills before you start your workout
3.          Don’t make your neck short when exercising
4.          Bare foot or shoes with no heel will help you with balance
5.          Try to grip to the ground with your feet when squatting or deadlifting
6.          If pressing over your head use your glutes and your core
7.          Don’t lose your torso length when doing number 6
8.          When doing push ups try to think of it as you are doing a plank but moving up and down
9.          When doing heavier squat or deadlift you might have to hold your breath during the sticking point. Make your own “weight lifting belt” by doing this and look after your back
10.    Do Mobility after each training

STAND UP TO TRAIN

The average Australian spends 21+ hours per day sitting down or lying prone. We don’t need any more practice sitting than we’re already getting. So forget about training using weight machines or any other apparatus that supports your body instead of allowing your body to support itself as it was designed to do. Movement in life and sport happen while we’re standing up. To achieve functional fitness we should stand up to train, too. Training while standing helps us to rehearse and perfect the movement patterns needed to achieve optimal physical performance. Stand up to train.
