Keri McKibbin Personal Training

It’s always a thrill when I get to coach individuals to move better through our tried and tested system, that we aim to continually keep improving. 

If you can’t do the movements you need to do without any weight, then it can be dangerous to put you through that same movement loaded up with dumbbells for example.

We all like doing movements we are comfortable with, and in general dislike the movements that we are not familiar with, or we find trouble doing in the first place.

Practice teaches us that we will only improve our ability on those movements if we keep showing up and doing our best.

In daily life, we are called to perform a variety of movements, sometimes they are easy, sometimes we have to regain balance quickly as we potentially take a fall. 

The ability to then steady ourselves so the worst case scenario does not happen is always a reflection on how well we train and the continuous efforts we have put into our balance at the gym, and how far we have developed since we started in multiple areas.

If we continue to challenge ourselves in the gym, it’s not only our fitness that will improve, it’s our everyday movement capacity in life, and our awareness of what’s around us physically and mentally too, and our programme is meant to reflect all of those everyday challenges. 

Re-creating life like movements that can be done in the gym environment is a priority for us, because when you talk about the gym meaning a big increase in quality of life, we mean it.
