Learn your movement patterns.
Gain control of your movement.
Add load to your movement.
Gain control with a load.
Progressively overload when things become easier.

This is your recipe for long term injury-free, sustainable results.

[Ed Benskin @EdBenskinPT]

Often people overestimate the impact of one nutrient-dense meal, one stellar workout, one solid night of sleep.

And they underestimate the importance of repeating health behaviours month after month, year after year.

Do the things. Repeat forever.

Consistency is KEY!

Three gym tips:
Never train chest on a Monday.
Always walk backwards out of a squat rack.
Focal points are a game-changer for balance.

[Ed Benskin @EdBenskinPT]

Stop expecting results straight away. Focus on turning up every day!

[Ed Benskin @EdBenskinPT]

Most people expect results straight away. Rather than focusing on turning up every day

Not all gym sessions have to be a beasting. Moving for an hour can have incredible effects!

[Ed Benskin @EdBenskinPT]

Ditch the idea that 2x (or less) a week lifting frequency is not worth it.

Some strength training is better than none at all.

You’d be surprised at how little ‘training’ is needed to maintain fitness levels.

A reduction in training may be just the thing you need right now!

Making a meal lower in calories by
removing starchy carbs isn't inherently
healthier.

In fact, it could be very opposite
depending on the individual and their
goals.

Lower calorie options are not always
the better option

Gaining momentum in the right direction is far more important than making massive wholesale changes and drastic leaps.

Small steps lead to bigger changes.

Gym Advice;

- Keep showing up
- Be consistent
- Patience is key

[Ed Benskin @EdBenskinPT]

The dictionary defines progress as;
Forward or onward movement towards a destination.

So why do we only ever look at one metric?

We should always look at the bigger picture

@ShotteryRFC are looking for some volunteer physiotherapists/sports therapists; If you are a student or a physio looking to gain experience at a sports team, then please get in touch with me.

Equally, if you have a contact at Coventry University, then please let me know

If, in your pursuit of a “healthy” weight, you become cranky, end up moving less, fatigued, and your quality of life declines… is that really so healthy after all?

[Ed Benskin @EdBenskinPT]

@8Apps0 @piersmorgan 🤦‍♂️, 4hr wait time is due to priority of other patients. I.e. a car crash is a higher priority than someone with a broken leg on the side of a sports pitch
