When it comes to movement, athletes get all the glory in our society. But the fact is, everyday life is filled with movement and just like in sport the smoother, stronger, more powerful it is the better! This is why training can make such a difference in your life. It prepares you for challenges and gives you the tools you need to overcome them—maybe even to excel at them. Here’s just a few examples:
Clean And Jerk Or Dealing With Your Own Luggage?
The clean and jerk is a power movement, but in the end it’s also just a method for getting a load from the floor to overhead efficiently—like a bag from the floor to the overhead (ahem…overhead) compartment.
Deadlift Or Picking Up Without Wrecking Your Back?
Deadlift gets its name because it is usually about picking something up from a ‘dead’ rest on the floor. Hint: it doesn’t have to be heavy to be a deadlift.
Too Low For A Deadlift? How About A Reverse Lunge
Lunges are good for when you’ve got to get low. Tying your shoes, picking up a piece of paper, getting the lucky penny—it’s all easier when you can take a knee.
Like Using Chairs? Then Work Your Squat
Squats are one of the most common movements we should all be doing more. It’s a movement we lose from way too much sitting. At the same time, it’s also the movement that gets us out of sitting. Oh the irony.
