Strength training isn’t bodybuilding. It can be as simple as squats or arm curls while holding soup cans. Experts recommend strength training twice per week. Start with one set of 8-12 repetitions, different muscle groups, and add more weight, sets or reps as you get stronger.

Ready to unlock your true movement potential? Whether you're new to exercise or a world-class athlete, isometric strength training should form the foundation of everything you do. Without taking the time to build up your ability to regulate isometric muscle tension, injuries in exercise and sport are inevitable. It's not a matter of “if” but “when” and “how bad”. The good news? Isometric training is safe, efficient, and highly effective. In fact, it’s often the first stage in post-operative rehab, trusted by physiotherapists worldwide. But here's the catch—they often move away from it once you're able to move. This is a massive oversight. To truly optimize your movement and performance, isometric strength training should be practiced 6 days a week. Ready to get started?

(Most of your lack of progress in weight training is due to skipping warm-ups this doesn't mean you need to spend an hour stretching, but warming up is essential! you need to incorporate: -Dynamic movements to increase blood flow and flexibility -Specific warm-up sets with lighter weights to prepare your muscles -Activation exercises to engage key muscle groups before lifting -A focus on your form to prevent injuries and optimize performance Prioritizing your warm-ups will enhance your strength training and keep you injury-free! :)

(Most of your struggle with muscle tone is due to neglecting strength training this doesn’t mean you have to lift heavy weights right away, but consistency is essential! you should incorporate: -Bodyweight exercises to build a solid foundation -Progressive overload to challenge your muscles over time -A variety of movements to target different muscle groups -Rest days for recovery and growth Embracing strength training will reshape your body and boost your confidence! :)

Glute Strength Do you find it difficult to feel your glutes working in glute exercises? Maybe your low back or hamstrings like to take over Give this one a try: 1: start in child’s pose 2: extend leg directly behind you 3: engage glutes Do not allow the body to rotate or let the leg to swing away from the body Try this as an isometric (non-moving) exercise first as this one can cramp! Progression: lift the leg! If you are unable to lift the leg, place a block or cushion between your bottom and the tucked leg to raise your hips slightly Happy glute training!

When we talk about intensity in the strength world, it's assumed you mean load—percentage of your 1 rep max. 🏋️♂️ If you say intensity to a bodybuilding coach, they mean proximity to failure. Same word, two very different training intents. 💪 For hypertrophy, proximity to failure is king. But remember, this can only be truly achieved on movements with low skill, like a leg extension, where the risk is minimal. You can't achieve true failure on a squat because the likelihood of injury is far too high. 🦵 Understanding these differences is key to training smart and staying safe. #StrengthTraining #Bodybuilding #Intensity #1RepMax #Hypertrophy #ProximityToFailure #TrainingSmart #FitnessEducation #StrengthVsHypertrophy

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make in strength training is constantly changing their routine or looking for a "cool" or "sexy" exercise for their next big breakthrough. Unfortunately the truth is not sexy. Consistency over time with the basics will serve you well for strength gains and maintenance.

Have you ever pulled a muscle from something as simple as picking up socks? 😣 It happens more than you think, especially as we age. Recently, I experienced this firsthand. Despite more than 15 years' experience lifting weights, I sustained a painful injury from I'm not even sure what. But thanks to my years of strength training, I bounced back quickly. 💪 Functional strength training helps your body adapt and compensate, even when one muscle group is compromised. It's about preparing your body for real-life activities, enhancing overall strength and resilience. Tell me about a time strength training saved your body! #FunctionalTraining #StayStrong
