5 reasons why Women should do strength training!

Published on 5th Jan 2012 at 11:34 by Admin

I know a lot of my friends on facebook are converted already but this post is for the women who don't do strength training. I know there are still a lot of myths in our fitness industry still about women and strength training. The fear of bulking up is one myth that has to go!!!

New year, New body for the Irish woman!

Published on 3rd Jan 2012 at 11:35 by Admin

Well 2012 is here and we are all making the new year resolutions. I can imagine that most have to do with health fitness and prosperity. I have made a few resolutions, but my main one is to push what we call our fitness revolution forwards even more in 2012. We have spent the last year training 100's of women (mostly). We have changed the way that they train forever. In other words they train less and gain more! Yes it's a fun & smarter way to train, rather than spending long hours in the gym on boring treadmills etc.

Faulty movement patterns (part 2)

The bodies chains wrapped in a leotard!

I know it sounds kinky :) but this is how i view our bodies. The body from foot/ankle to the head operates as one unit in functional movement patterns. Even with so-called isolation movements, muscles must work at least in pairs, so isolation training is not a good term in my view. Each muscle in our body, links to another through the myofascial network. The myofascia is a connective tissue that envelopes each muscle and weaves through each muscle. So this is our leotard. From the plantar fascia (sole of foot) to the galea aponeurotica (scalp) all our skeletal muscles are linked like chains, hence my kinky heading :)

Movement teachers and the general public

Here i am addressing the foot and ankle in movement patterns. I tell our students that the foot and ankle are critical for proper and effective movement. If you are moving about with these areas out of neutral or optimal position then you are most porbably setting yourself up for bio-dysfunction sooner or later!

Bad posture at work, do Pilates in the office!

Ok have a look around the office, check out the posture of that person typing at the computer. Or look at the posture of that person heading out for a cigarette break :( What do you think? Look, really look ??? What about yours?

5 tips to combat lower back pain (LBP)?

Published on 19th Oct 2011 at 11:14 by Admin

A current statistic is that 80-85% of the population will suffer with back pain at some point in life. This statistic is sure to rise with the kind of lifestyle that most people are leading. Ireland has one of the highest obesity rates in Europe at the moment. This trend tells me that we are taking less exercise and eating more crap. It's no wonder that we are suffering with back pain.
