I can’t believe the date’s come around so fast BUT GYMS ARE BACK TOMORROW! After a whole year of being pretty much closed gyms are finally reopening. Although many of us are ready and raring to go it’s important to remember to take caution when you return.
So why should we take it easy when we transition from home workouts to gym workouts?
What exactly is mobility and why is it important? Mobility isn’t just about stretching, it’s the ability to move actively through a range of motion, which is especially important for runners.
Short answer - yes!
One of the main reasons I really encourage a cool/warm down is to aid recovery post-training and make use of the warmth in the muscles for some useful mobility. But what does the science say?
Other than push-ups being hard, the biggest complaint I hear is that the wrists hurt or are very uncomfortable. The wrist actually has 35 muscles involved when moving it so it’s understandable so many experience pain, particularly during this exercise. It’s important to build up the strength and mobility of this relatively small part of your body!
We’re getting to that time of year again when motivation in general, starts to lag. New Year resolutions have fizzled out and people are feeling a bit fed up - the fact we’re stuck at home because of lockdown and are still in the midst of a global pandemic doesn’t exactly help either!
To be well balanced in all your fitness goals, these four ingredients of your body's foundations need to be addressed.
Sit-ups are divisive. People typically love or hate them. Most of all, the humble sit-up is misunderstood. Grace takes you through how to get it right!
Announcing Monthly GBF Challenges! It’s all about beating your own PB and getting strong together. We also look back at the GBF Dead Hang Challenge in September. Will you be the next GBF Challenge Champion?
Yes, we're in lockdown and yes, we can't go to the gym. But we CAN exercise outdoors. So let's make the most of it! So, without further ado, welcome to Strong Club Run! I'll be posting a free running workout session on IG and FB every Saturday! There'll be something for everyone here, starting with a great beginner intervals session.
