Workout Tips

When and how should I be stretching?

Dynamic stretches 

- These stretches are done before your workout

- Any stretch where you are moving the muscle through its end ranges

- Increases blood flow to the muscles and improves your mobility.


Passive stretches

- These stretches are done after your workout

- Passive stretches involves holding a stretch for 30-60 seconds

- Will stretch out the muscles to prevent muscle soreness (DOMS) and stiffness in the joint post-workout. 

 


What exercises should I do for leg day?

Squat exercise - an exercise where you are bending at the knees to work the quads and glutes

Hinge exercise - any exercise where you are hingeing at the hips to work the hamstrings 

Single leg exercise - to improve your balance and stability in the hips, knee and ankle joints. 

Isolation exercise - isolating individual muscles, such as using machines or working the smaller leg muscles like the calves



Top tips to improving your deadlift

- Stand with feet hip width apart and the toes facing forwards, this will allow for the hamstrings and glutes to work during the lift

- Start with the hips low and the chest tall to get the spine straight

- "Break the bar" by activating the lats - this will ensure your upper back stays straight during the lift

- Keep the bar close to the body to avoid pulling with the lower back
