Rethink Your Ab Workout! Traditionally, we associate abs with stiffening and crunching our midline. But what if this approach hinders the ribcage from relaxing and therefore the access to our deep abs? This can lead to unwanted outcomes like stomach bulging, neck tension, or reliance on the lower...

In week 2, we continue working to relax the ribcage and sense our abs, as the positions become more and more challenging. I introduce one of my favorite exercises - the inchworm. And we repeat a lot of set-ups from last week to make sure we are growing more comfortable and - more important - qui...

In Week 3, we introduce new positions that target our side and deep abs. We'll continue to build on the set-ups from Weeks 1 and 2 but move at a slightly faster pace. Make sure you're comfortable with the previous positions before joining this class. Get ready for an exciting progression!

You'll...

Welcome to the final week of our deep abs class series! You've mastered all the exercises, and now it's time to fine-tune your technique and have some fun. In this class, we'll make sure you leave with great options to focus on in your ab workouts. Let's make those core gains count!

You'll need...

In this 4 week block the focus is on getting our body moving! While it is extremely important to learn to stabilise yourself in static positions, we also want to practice stabilising ourselves through dynamic movements. In this 4 class series we will move the majority of the class. A large focus ...

Building on week 1, we will add options to progress each of the exercises, with the priority given to keeping our necks as relaxed as possible.
In our warm up we will focus on learning to load each side of the body, by picking up opposite side limbs of the ground in the All Fours as well as the c...

Let's keep up the momentum! We're making little tweaks to our warm up with the goal of increasing our abillity to load into the positions we have been working on. In our main work blocks we will play with the pace of our movements, trying to move at a slightly faster pace without losing the conne...

It is our final week of this series. While last week was all about strength endurance (long duration low load), this week we will try to add load during shorter duration sets. Slowing down the pace of our movements again, gives us an opportunity to further connect to our technique. Expect to brea...

In week 1 we will get familiar with how to set things up in your space and how to position yourself. We're going to breathe at the beginning of class and then figure out how we can use different strategies to help us master common strength exercises like: floor presses, rows, and bicep curls.

Week 2 is gearing up for a deeper dive into restorative upper body exercises, with a special focus on mastering the push-up. While I can't guarantee you'll get your first push-up in this class, you'll gain insights on what to focus on for future progress. No need for intimidation; we'll take it s...

Week 3: Elevate your push-up game! Quite literally - as we discovered last week, elevating our hands on a high surface allows us to work on building reps and refining the push-up. This week, we're adding a pulling exercise back into the mix. Get ready for a dynamic session of strength-building a...

Building on the push-up progress from last week, we're taking it up a notch. By integrating pulling exercises I'm planning a dynamic and challenging session! This week, the emphasis is on putting it all together—maintaining a consistent pace with minimal breaks and explanations. TRX recommended b...

One of the key factors that contribute to longevity of life span is muscle mass and strength in the legs. So not only does it look pretty good to have strong legs but it's extremely healthy too. However mainstream fitness would have us believe that the only way to increase muscle size on our legs...

We launched this phase of the programming with a real focus on isolating, sensing and keeping certain muscle groups under tension. We explored ways to modify intensity so we were able to accumulate sufficient ‘Time Under Tension’ in order to drive our desired adaptation of building muscle. That t...

We’re half way through and are becoming accustomed to the discomfort associated with long periods of Time Under Tension with very targeted exercises. We continue this theme as we progress into the back half of this phase and see a change up in exercise selection. This will round out the programmi...

The last week of leg day is here and over the past 4 weeks we've covered some important ground on the art of building muscle. We finishing off the programming by revisiting the newly introduced exercises in week 3, trying to find more control, focus and nuance within them. Thereby ensuring we ful...

‘Run Clubs’ are all the rage at the moment (well certainly here in London at least). Outside of the social benefits they offer, running provides a wealth of potential health benefits. However, for many who have suffered with chronic pain or movement issues, running can feel scary and like an inju...

Once you've completed the warm up, you have two options for listening to the guided run. You can either play the video here or if you'd prefer you can listen to it on Soundcloud via the link below:

Week 2 of Run Club will build on the walk run efforts we started with last week. We continue to develop our key reference points whilst we're out there and look to increase our time actually running. We'll put a bit more focus on how we might want to structuring our breathing, whilst increasing o...

In week 3 of Run Club we continue to build on the total time of continuous running and this see’s us tip into more running than walking. We also build on our reference points whilst we’re running and perhaps even look to tweak our breathing strategy.
