Our Core Training Principles
1. Functional Movement Emphasis:
​
-
Design workouts that replicate everyday activities—such as bending, lifting, and reaching—to improve real-life functionality.
-
Incorporate exercises that enhance balance, coordination, and agility, which are essential for daily tasks and fall prevention.
-
Every training program must incorporate the fundamental human movements: Push, Pull, Hinge, Squat, Loaded Carry
2. Strength Training for Longevity:
​
-
Prioritize resistance training to build muscle mass, improve bone density, and enhance joint stability.
-
I stay away from fancy gym equipment, and prefer the use of bodyweight, resistance bands, and free weights to create a diverse and engaging training experience.
3. Flexibility and Joint Mobility:
-
Integrate stretching and mobility exercises into routines to maintain and improve range of motion and overall flexibility.
-
Promote practices that enhance posture and alignment, reducing the risk of discomfort and injuries.
4. Personalization:
​​
-
Recognize diversity of fitness levels, health conditions and desired outcomes; customize programs to meet individual needs and goals.
-
Offer modifications and alternatives to exercises, ensuring that everyone can participate safely and effectively.
5. Consistent and Sustainable Practice:
-
Focus on developing regular, moderate to vigorous exercise habits rather than high-intensity workouts (at least initially), promoting long-term adherence.
-
Create enjoyable and varied sessions that can easily fit into busy lifestyles, making fitness a sustainable part of daily life.
