Having a tight core is very beneficial for your health and fitness... Let me know if you're going to give this workout a try and how you like it! In this video, we're going outside and completing an at-home workout with a sliding abs routine. I'm using a skateboard, but if you don't have one, don't worry! 🛹Have you seen a skateboard used like this? You can use a towel on a wood floor or on tile, or use paper plates on carpet. Gliding disks also work well. The reason why I love sliding abs so much is that you're getting multiple benefits. Not only are you training the 6 pack, or rectus abdominis, but also the TVA, or transverse abdominis. Think of the TVA as your "internal girdle" or waist trainer. It's great for improving core strength, for injury prevention, and also can decrease your waist circumference. For each exercise, consider rounding your back slightly to engage the abs versus engaging the hip flexors. This will make a big difference over time. 💪Exercises: Pike ups Tuck ups Side crunches Single-leg crunch/tuck High plank iso hold What are your favorite abs exercises? 💪Want access to my NEW Flex FIT 90-day program?

Here’s an uncomfortable truth many gym goers need to hear…. Sometimes we must EARN THE RIGHT to perform an exercise. Allow me to explain with an example. Your goal might be to perform 10 pull ups. However, an assessment shows you currently have the following: 👉 Insufficient overhead shoulder mobility. 👉 Strength imbalances between both shoulders. 👉 Range of motion differences between both shoulders. 👉 Previous shoulder injuries. (Trust those are not uncommon in many of us) Going full steam ahead into pull ups right off the bat could be an injury waiting to happen. Here’s a safe and sustainable approach: ✅ Look to improve overall shoulder mobility with resistance exercise. ✅ Use single arm exercises to try and restore strength, health and imbalances. ✅ Strengthen the key muscles used in a pull up using alternate exercises (for now). ✅ Train the general movement pattern with a safer variation (for now) such as a pull down variation with a more suitable set up. Keep assessing until you have the capabilities to perform the exercise properly and safely. The second approach might be slower but this is how I would approach it with any client. Your goal is your goal 💯👍 It’s my job as a coach to get you there safely. If this resonates at all, feel free to reach out to me anytime. As always, play the long game. #personaltrainer #resistancetraining #fitnessover40

#P3rformInsights Debunking the misconception 'Lack of Single Leg Work ' In Strength and Conditioning (S&C) and rehab, athletes often tend to emphasize double leg exercises in their gym sessions. Here's what our lead PPC, Callum Williams had to say on the topic: "This misconception is largely dependent on the context of the injury but fits for a large majority of cases I’ve seen. Whether that's double leg RDL’s, Trapbar Deadlifts, Squats, Leg Press, athletes are not utilising single leg variations enough. When players have an injury, the body will find a way to compensate and often offset the load that goes through that injured limb when they are performing exercises 🏋️♂️ Single leg or split stance strength exercises, force the body to load through the weaker side, which in turn helps bridge the strength gap between the healthy and injured limb 💪 Athletes should be encouraged to add extra sets to the injured limb during unilateral strength exercises. In my experience this extra volume has helped reduce large strength asymmetries, seen following a lower limb injury🏋️ " If you are an athlete seeking to elevate your performance, you can have access to elite rehab and performance support through our 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐩𝐩 📱 🏋♂️ 🔗 Book a free consultation call and start your performance journey with us today! 👇 https://lnkd.in/ezHmys9w #P3rform #rehabmyths #singlelegstrengthwork #unilateralstrengthexercises #footballrehab #trainingtruths #injuryrecovery #sportsperformance #rehabprocess #recoveryjourney #digitalcoaching #onlinefitnesscoaching

The most common concerns I hear from women considering strength training is, “I don’t want to get bulky or too muscular.” I totally get it! It won’t happen! In my experience, strength training isn’t about “bulking up”—it’s about building strength, increasing confidence, boosting metabolism and getting ‘toned’. Lifting weights won’t suddenly make you overly muscular; it’s more likely to leave you feeling empowered, energized, and strong in your own body. #StrengthTraining #WomenWhoLift #FitnessMyths

Do you get neck or back pain? Many executives in their 40s and 50s suffer with horrible neck and upper pain. Years of slouching at a desk begin to take their toll until one day everything hurts. Dealing with pain is not only exhausting but it can stop you from doing things you enjoy such as playing with the kids or sports. There are many things that need addressing and one of them is the strength of your upper back muscle. The goal is strengthen them. Weakness causes issues. A simple upper back row can certainly benefit you. Notice in my video I'm pulling my shoulder blades together. That's crucial. But you don't need a gym. This can be done at home with free weights or bands. #fitover40 #mensfitness #strength

30 Days of Handstand Hacks Pike push-ups are a great exercise for building the shoulder strength and body control needed for a handstand. The handstand requires a lot of shoulder strength to support your body weight upside down. Pike push-ups particularly target the shoulders, mainly the deltoids, which are essential for handstand stability. You will also feel your core working a lot in this exercise to keep your torso upright. A strong core promotes balance and stability and encourages good form. As you get stronger, you can elevate your feet to a bench or a plyometric box to make this movement more challenging. Do 3 sets for 5-10 reps DM for online coaching or head over to my website in my bio to learn more 🫵😎💯 #fitness #calisthenics #streetworkout #bodyweighttraining
