🙂Why only use one region of the body when exercising?!?!
🙂Here I am using my arms, chest, back and legs, working the thigh and inner thigh, as well as my balance.
🫀Combine moves for optimum results.

Gluteal Tendinopathy a pain that is changeable, one day a gnawing pain, the next some relief.
People often ask me if they can use a kettle bell, with G.T.
Yes, but form is the focus. Correct technique and control, with progressive loading is imperative.
Kettle bells are effective tools for building glute strength, promoting new tendon growth and healing, with an increase of joint stability.

🙂Better movement and better living - I can help:
Many people who struggle to get up and down off the floor or even up out of a chair can get stronger. Just this week, I was showing a client who has a severe leg and knee injury how to achieve this.
🙂Whether you are unfit, feel you don't have the strength, or are slowed and limited in daily movements, it can change and I can help you. Flick me a message to join us.

🙂I love this training aid. There are so many ways to use a balance board, not just for increasing better balance.

🙂It is fantastic for a stretch around the hip region, great for a stretch of the lower back and up and around the shoulder region.
🙂We can move the arms further or closer, straighten the arms, lean further back, there is so much we can do, we can even work the core and stretch the glute.

🙂Come and learn how, flick me a message to join us in person or like our page to find out more.

😒A common issue as people age - weak wrists.
Strengthening our wrists as we age, try hand weight Wrist Flexion.

💪🏼Flex your wrist up, palm to the ceiling and hold the position for two or three seconds, then lower your hand.
💪🏼Repeat again, doing two sets of 8 repetitions.

🙂Pay attention to your discomfort and adjust workouts accordingly. It is not necessarily best to use a heavier weight, or do too many repetitions.

🙂Simple yet effective.
A great way to mobilise your shoulders, work your back and strengthen your fingers and wrists, which we all need as we age.

Hold onto a Swiss Ball or heavier, smaller weighted ball, holding the ball with the tips of your fingers, wrists straight.

Move the ball up and around going from side to side.
