Form, Posture and Breathing

Let's start by welcoming newcomer Sarah! Hopefully you enjoyed your first session in Glebe and will be back for more fun (and work) next week. Tanya also deserves a special mention, as she managed to beat Andy to the punch on Sunday, sending her sessions through before he'd even sent the text out. Love your enthusiasm, Tanya! You made Andy's day... And for anyone not on social media, it was great to see these happy faces, finishing last week STRONG!

Meteorology school should really be a prerequisite for outdoor trainers. Andy and Poppy give it their best, but its a tricky science and I know they appreciate your good humour on the days when the weather gods throw a curve ball. Speaking of wet weather, Poppy's Wednesday group had the pleasure of exploring a different corner of the park this week, using the pavilion for their yoga session. 

If you've not seen the video of Psalty and Georgie in the Sydney to Hobart, jump on the Whatsapp group to take a look. What an incredible experience!

This week I'd like to encourage you to focus on good form, posture and breathing. All three are vital during exercise regardless of your goals, and can sometimes suffer if we are tired or really pushing to increase the load. Maintaining proper form not only aids in building strength and endurance but also reduces the risk of injury. Be sure to pay attention to the alignment of your arms and legs, particularly when performing exercises such as burpees, push-ups, squats, and lunges. When running, maintain a straight back and lift your head to enhance speed and endurance. Additionally, focus on proper breathing techniques to effectively engage your core, manage fatigue and stay focused throughout the session. If you've got all that sorted, a smile can't hurt either!

Here's your weekly highlights. Have a fabulous weekend.
