is back!! This week we have the following exercises for your “at home bodyweight workout”. 1&2. Single leg glute bridges. Try and make sure your pelvis remains square and not tilted, really drive through the foot and make sure your foot placement isn’t twisted. To make this more difficult add weights to your pelvis or raise your shoulders to create more range. 3. Sit ups. To make this easier you can put some weights on your feet or hook your feet under a sofa or put them against a wall. 4. Bent arm, lateral raises (Flappy birds for those that come to classes) Remember you’re not a funky chicken! Keep the elbows at 90 degrees. (This can again be made harder by using hand weights) Please do these exercises after a short 5 min warm up to get your body moving and heart rate up. Please also finish with a few minutes of stretches. Do each exercise back to back, 40 secs on and 20 secs rest then 1 min rest after the 3 exercises before repeating through 3-4 times depending on what time you have available. Enjoy!

This weeks exercises for your “at home bodyweight workout” are as follows. 1. Kneeling get up. Try not to use your hands on your legs for this one (This can also be done with any weights you have at home, holding them nice and tight to your chest) 2. Sit up hold with flappy arms! To add a level of difficulty to this you can use hand weights) 3. Overhead tricep dips (This can again be made harder by using hand weights, keep those elbows nice and tight to your ears) please do these exercises after a short 5 min warm up to get your body moving and heart rate up. Please also finish with a few minutes of stretches. Do each exercise back to back, 40 secs on and 20 secs rest then 1 min rest after the 3 exercises before repeating through 3-4 times depending on what time you have available. Enjoy! We will be taking a break from posting these workouts for the next 2 weeks while we are away racing and on holiday, so apologies for this. Maybe revisit one of our past weeks that you have enjoyed.

is here! This week we have 1. Side/side low squats. Stay low throughout!!! Holding a weight tight to your chest will make this harder. 2. Bear holds. Keep the knees nice and tight to the floor. Draw the belly button up into your spine to keep your core engaged. Holding this for the full duration will make it harder. Take short rest breaks to make it easier. 3. Twisting shoulder press. Holding hand weights will make this harder. 3 exercises 40 seconds each exercise, 20 sec rest, 1 min rest after the 3 exercises and repeat 3-4 times through with a warm up and cool down. Enjoy!

The last few weeks have seen a ridiculous amount of PB’s being hit by our S&C clients. Last week alone we had 8 new running PB’s!!!! What do they put it down to? Coming to our classes of course 😉 They are consistent even with once a week lifting heavy, working on stability and mobility helping them build a stronger more resilient body. The main way we differ from other group classes is we limit the amount of people in classes so we are eagle eyed on your technique and form, so creating correct movement patterns before loading and reducing the risk of injury through actually participating in the class itself!!! If you want to find out more about our classes then email me claire@optimumhealthcoaching.com your first class is FREE! OR why not join us for our Open day this Saturday, class starts at 9:30am

It’s that time of the week and this week we have had a glow up curtesy of Here is your this week we have 1&2 - Side lunges - this can be made more difficult by adding hand weights. 3&4 - Side planks - The easier version is to do these on your knees and hands. Harder version is on your hand and foot. 5 - Bent arm lateral raises - again this can be made more difficult by adding hand weights.
5 exercises 40 sec on 20 sec rest, 1 min rest after the 5 exercises, repeat 3-4 times through with a warm up and cool down. Hope you enjoy!

We don’t take to the cancellation of our classes very lightly, and we only do so when we haven’t got any other option so please accept our apologies. We did however want to give you plenty of notice. So please see class cancellations happening over the next few weeks. Ian and myself will be in Marbella for the Ironman 70.3 world championships at the beginning of November so classes will be covered by the lovely Emily, except for the classes mentioned which we have had to cancel. Apologies once again for any inconvenience.
