Fantastic start to the new programme, lots of new stretching and warm ups, and difficult versions of exercises we have already done. We have 4 weeks to get it right and get used to them.
As stated previously, it’s not just about learning new movements, it’s about doing really well at them and performing to your highest level in those exercises, THIS is when true progress is made, and the last 4 weeks have been mightily impressive on this front.
If you are at the 4 week mark and you feel you still don’t know how to perform the exercises, don’t worry, I am here to help always with them, and it may be advisable for you to stay longer with that programme, because changing for the sake of changing without really getting to grips with the exercises will not benefit you as much.
Also, some of you are on recovery programmes from specific injuries. The goal her is to do it safely, improve a little bit every time, and get a little bit better in range of movement of the joint.
If you don’t get stronger in the joint that may have been affected by surgery, then it’s unlikely to get better as soon as you’d like it to be so it’s always important to keep showing up for your sessions.
If you can’t move your joint over a greater range of motion over time, then your muscles and joints will get weaker, and when they get weaker, they will degenerate and never recover their full strength, power, mobility and flexibility. This is why we focus on movement over a full range of motion which is the end goal, and every small step along the way is a great victory.
Lots of you have different goals and all of you are at a different level of fitness, strength, endurance and flexibility, you are all different and our message is that if you keep improving every session (no matter how small the improvement may be), then you are all doing fantastically well and are changing your life for the better full stop.
