Recovery is part of training!

Muscle doesnโ€™t grow during sessions.

It grows after.
Research consistently highlights:

โ€ข Sleep quality
โ€ข Adequate protein
โ€ข Managing stress

as key drivers of progress.

Community reminder:
Rest days are productive days too.

Here is my prescription for you to take a nice rest day just like I did last weekend ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’ช

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR DEADLIFT SET-UP

Before you lift:

โœ” Bar close to shins
โœ” Big breath + brace
โœ” Push the floor away

Think โ€œpushโ€ not โ€œpull.โ€
If you want feedback, grab me or Cathrine for a quick form check this week at class or drop the page a message to see how we can help ๐Ÿ˜Š

Small tweaks = big results.

And.... Did you know we start our brand new beginner Weightlifting block next Monday 30th March!

Why muscle matters as we age ๐Ÿ’ช

Research shows maintaining muscle mass helps:
โ€ข Reduce injury risk
โ€ข Improve balance
โ€ข Support bone health

Strength training isnโ€™t just about now - itโ€™s about future independence.

Youโ€™re investing in your future self every session ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿผ

How to make your rest periods work for you ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿผ

Rest isnโ€™t wasted time.

Use it to:
โ€ข Breathe properly
โ€ข Reset your brace
โ€ข Visualise the next set
โ€ข Encourage someone else

Good rest = better performance.

Try being intentional with your recovery between sets this week ๐Ÿ’ช

All About Get Active Coaching CIC

Get Active Coaching was established in October 2019 as a sport and exercise business with one simple mission: help get more children and adults active through sport and physical activity. It was set up by me! My name is Martin, and I started this business as I love all things sport and exercise. I wanted to find a way that I could use my passion, experience and knowledge to benefit others.

I have been involved in sport all my life and reached a high level in my younger days in both rugby and football. I have been a Rugby Developmment Officer for Scottish Rugby, which is where I gained a huge amount about how to implement sport and exercise in the community. Except this time, its not just for rugby, it is for every sport you can think of. Since my time as a Rugby Development Officer, I have completed my BSC (Hons) in Sport, Fitness and Coaching, achieved numerous sport coaching qualifications, which has given me the foundation to start and build Get Active Coaching!

Now, back to business. Get Active Coaching has recently achieved a huge milestone: We are now a Community Interest Company! I have spent the last 6 months creating partnerships with local organisations to develop working relationships, business parnerships and even assemble a small coaching workforce to help me with my delivery. I can now begin to make a bigger impact in the community through sport and exercise and help people live a healthier lifestyle as a result.
