After 3.5 incredible years, Ed has wrapped up his training journey (for now)! 💪

From the very beginning, Ed showed up with consistency, grit, and a great attitude and the results speak for themselves. His strength has skyrocketed, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to coach him every step of the way.

Ed’s sessions have include both compound movements with low reps to improve strength and accessory exercises to aid hypertrophy. His main athletic interest is running so lots of hip mobility and hamstring/hip flexor stretching have been incorporated to increase range of motion and overall technique.

It’s always bittersweet saying goodbye to a long-term client, but I’m proud of the progress he’s made and the solid foundation he’s built. Wishing him the best as he takes this next step and who knows, maybe we’ll see him back in the studio soon.

Till next time, Ed! 👊

Strength Training vs. Cardio for Weight Loss:

What’s the Most Effective Approach?

When it comes to weight loss, both cardiovascular exercise and strength training play important but different roles.

🔹 Cardio is effective for burning calories during the workout and improving cardiovascular health.

🔹 Strength training builds lean muscle mass. This increases resting metabolic rate, meaning your body burns more calories even at rest.

✅ Optimal strategy? A combination of both. Incorporating strength training alongside cardio not only supports fat loss but also improves muscle tone, metabolic function, and long term weight management.

📌 Focus on consistency, progressive overload in your resistance training, and a sustainable routine tailored to your individual goals.

Squatting to Depth 🏋️‍♀️

It’s widely accepted that you should squat to an appropriate depth. but what exactly does that mean? Should you stop at parallel, or go all the way down into an “ass to grass” (ATG) squat?

The short answer: it depends.

There isn’t a one size fits all approach to squatting. Everyone has a unique anatomical structure, which affects how deep they can safely go.

Some people can squat ATG without issues, while others may only be able to reach parallel and some may not even be able to squat that low safely. Your squat depth will largely depend on your individual biomechanics 🦴

A key factor in determining your optimal squat depth is something called the “butt wink.” This refers to the point where your pelvis begins to tuck under your body, causing your lower back to round, a position that can increase your risk of injury if excessive 🤕

As a rule of thumb, only squat as deep as you can before the butt wink becomes significant.

How to reduce or prevent butt wink:
• Improve hamstring and glute flexibility
• Increase ankle mobility
• Address calf tightness

Summited Scafell Pike ⛰️ It took us 4 hours to get up and down it. It was a steady climb, with seriously strong winds near the top. Grateful for the challenge and the reminder of how valuable an active lifestyle is. Always feels good to get outside, move the body, and switch off for a bit. Staying active doesn’t have to be complicated, it’s just about getting out there and having an explore 👣
